Buzzfeed: President Trump Directed Michael Cohen To Lie To Congress About The Moscow Tower Project

[EvilCat Breath]

There never was a Trump tower project.

You mean it was never completed?

Because there WAS a deal...complete with a letter of intent

Nope. The Trump Tower project was made up by Lanny Davis who leaked details bit by bit to CNN.

Aside from the fact that we have no idea where this came from, the purpose isn't to build anything. It's an ordinary license agreement to use the Trump name. He has the same license agreement with necktie companies.

I love Cohen.

I love the smell of Obstruction of Justice in the air.

......and keeping Hillary's warmongering ass out of the White House STILL isn't obstruction of justice

I gave you good advice - stop posting. You aren't good at this thinking-about-facts shit, so just go do something more healthy for yourself than getting laughed at constantly.

"Seems like Mueller has evidence. Tangible evidence of obstruction of justice. On top of that he has Cohen. This is absolutely terrible, bad and no good for Trump."

Legally speaking it's wishful thinking.

The House Intelligence Committee will investigate the revelation that President Donald Trump ordered his longtime personal attorney to lie to Congress about a potentially lucrative real estate project in Moscow.

Lawmakers Vow To Investigate Evidence That Trump Told His Lawyer To Lie To Congress

Good news. This is clearly obstruction of justice.

 

[NightFox]

This is very serious. Does not look good for Trump. What do you think?

Yes, IMHO this allegation is very serious, in fact it starts to rise to the level of "high crimes and misdemeanors" and brings to mind the goings on in the Nixon Administration during the Watergate scandal.

However, according to the reports it's based solely on testimony from Cohen who has less credibility than Lucifer at this point so it's a "he said, he said" situation UNLESS corroborating evidence surfaces at which point things start to get very dicey for Donny.

No, it's based on more than Cohen. Read through this thread.

Read the story, reportedly the accusation of subornation of perjury is based solely on Cohen's testimony and that is the allegation that rises to a crime.

Law enforcement may be in possession of other direct evidence that corroborates Cohen's claims but so far it hasn't surfaced in the press, if it does then all hell will break loose, I guess we'll have to wait and see what develops.

Whatever the outcome, I suspect that unless strong exculpatory evidence emerges this will be very damaging to President Twitter politically and may completely destroy any chance that he has at re-election.

Credible evidence?

Trump the chief law enforcer of the land now suborns perjury. This is the very definition of obstruction of justice and a crime. Trump lies about collusion and Trump Tower. If there ever was a reason to impeach any president this is it.

LOL, You realize before anything like this happens there has to be a CREDIBLE case presented first, right? and the word of completely discredited witness isn't enough to get even a majority of Democrat Congress Creatures to vote to impeach & convict let alone any of the Republican variety.

Sentencing comes at the end of the process not the beginning.

Nothing you say I necessarily disagree with. There is enough reasonable suspicion to launch an investigation and enough probable cause to issue an indictment, if he were not POTUS.

IF THIS IS TRUE....the smoking gun just morfed into a bullet in the head.

IF, as the report says, there is corroborating evidence...including other testimony....emails....and text message....this makes the Nixon tapes look small.

It all depends on what can confirm the word of Cohen....cause he is an admitted liar.

Yes, I think there is little doubt that will happen however my bet is that the press will find any corroborating evidence that exists (if any) before official "investigators" do, Woodward & Bernstein V2.0 perhaps? we'll see.

and enough probable cause to issue an indictment, if he were not POTUS.

Not in my opinion, all you have at this point is an accusation made by an individual whose credibility and motives are completely compromised which makes this one of those rare cases where the ham sandwich isn't indictable.

IMHO Attempting to do so would just sabotage whatever credible case can actually be built from corroborating evidence that might surface.

President Donald Trump directed his longtime attorney Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about negotiations to build a Trump Tower in Moscow, according to two federal law enforcement officials involved in an investigation of the matter.

Trump also supported a plan, set up by Cohen, to visit Russia during the presidential campaign, in order to personally meet President Vladimir Putin and jump-start the tower negotiations. “Make it happen,” the sources said Trump told Cohen.

And even as Trump told the public he had no business deals with Russia, the sources said Trump and his children, Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr., received regular, detailed updates about the real estate development from Cohen, whom they put in charge of the project.

This is very serious. Does not look good for Trump.

Yes, I'm sure an indictment over this oddly belated claim is "imminent."

Now, please tell me how this has anything to do with the charge that Trump colluded with the Russians to alter the outcome of the election.

How would you compare this with Hillary Clinton's hiring of an ex-British spy to get dirt on Trump from the Russians? What would you be saying if Trump had hired an ex-spy to get dirt on Hillary from the Russians? I bet you'd be screaming that that constituted collusion, yeah?

Did Bill commit a crime when he had sex with Monica? No....but he did when he lied about it.

Just like Bill and Nixon.the crime...or supposed crime is not what will take trump down...it is the lies attached to the cover up....Suborning Perjury is as damning as lying....and even more so.

His whole f___ing family could go down.

Attorneys close to the administration helped Cohen prepare his testimony and draft his statement to the Senate panel, the sources said.

Which would expose those attorneys to criminal charges as well.

Man, working for Trump is a career ender.

Michael Cohen is a convicted perjurer as well as a proven liar. Knock yourselves out!

Worse, he was also a secret taper. The bastard!
