Possibly her contribution was important, but tbh it's also generally easy to cherry pick records to invent narratives like this.
This fraud was already documented at the time by journalists. Do you call this the "beginning", then? Also, Cohen was collaborating with authorities. Would the investigation not happen without that testimony?
Although AOC contributed there, this article is rather shallow as it misses the bigger picture where AOC was not in the center in my opinion.
I watched this live and you couldn't be more obtuse. NO ONE else in the room was following this line of questioning. Sure reporters could have uncovered all of this eventually but she had the presence of mind to know this was under oath so it could move the prosecution along much faster.
Thanks for sharing your personal opinion.
