1. The only reason to lie about Trump Tower is that Cohen went into business for himself on that project.
2. Popadope was setup by the CIA's foreign assets. He did not lie for Trump. He did 2-weeks for being setup by illegal FBI surveillance.
3. Flynn was setup by the FBI (Comey) and stepped into Comey's perjury trap about a conversation with Kisliak
4. Stone had no reason to lie, not sure how you say its a lie for Trump? Wasn't it about wikileaks? As old as Stone is I wouldn't bet on memory failure over a deliberate lie. If they nailed Stone for a lie then they do know the truth, and no one is indicting Trump.
1. Cohen lied to protect Trump's lies. Trump claimed there was no deals with Russia. Cohen decided to conform to that lie.
2. Papadopolous admitted to lying for Trump. Trump claimed there was no connection in the campaign with Russia. Papadopolous decided to conform to that lie.
3. Flynn lied to protect Trump. Trump claimed there was no discussions with Russians. Flynn decided to conform to that lie.
4. Stone lied to protect Trump. Trump claimed they had no connection with Wikileaks. Stone decided to conform to that lie.
1. Trump told Cohen to end negotiations for the Tower in January, and he kept negotiating. He lied to keep his job, and got caught, duh.
2. Popadope didn't admit lying for Trump, he "lied" because he was setup by the CIA and didn't know it, 2-weeks in jail, some "crime".
3. Flynn spoke with Kisliak and said "I don't recall" an answer that Hillary always used, but Flynn gets nailed in an FBI perjury trap
4. Stone didn't need to lie about wikileaks, who cares if he spoke to wikileaks and Trump didn't know, another case of stupidity, not criminality.
Lets look at Hillary's criminality by comparison:
1. The UraniumOne scam, a quick $47m
2. The Clinton Foundation, aka pay-to-play cash cow
3. Her illegal bathroom server
4. Her destroying subpoenaed evidence
5. Her saying "I don't recall" 39x when questioned
6. Her missing 30,000 emails
7. Her mishandling of classified information
8. Her getting a pass from Comey from prosecution because of her "intent" (does Trump get the same pass?)
1. Trump never told Cohen to stop negotiations. He lied so as not to contradict Trump.
2. Papadopolous wasn't set up. He lied and admitted it. He admitted he did it to protect Trump.
Excerpts From the New York Times Interview With George Papadopoulos
3. There's no way Flynn "forgot" he talked to Kislyak about sanctions. That was the entire point of the phone call. Here's how it went down. Flynn got a text from Kislyak to call him. Flynn called someone in a senior position in the Trump campaign for advice about what to say about sanctions. He got orders from them. He then called Kislyak and told them what he was told to say. Immediately after hanging up with Kislyak, Flynn called the senior Trump admin official to tell them the job was done. Kislyak called Flynn a few days later to tell him the Russians took into consideration what he told them and acted accordingly. Flynn passed this along to the Trump campaign.
You want me to believe that Flynn FORGOT all this happened a few weeks later? Give me a break.
4. Stone lied to protect Trump because Stone talked to Trump about his contacts which Trump had publicly denied.
Do you see a pattern? People close to Trump lie on his behalf in an effort not to contradict Trump's lies. This is how Trump eats people's souls.
