Dems demand answers following explosive new Cohen report
By Tal Axelrod - 01/18/19 07:57 AM EST

Democratic lawmakers vowed to probe the allegations contained in a bombshell Buzzfeed News report that President Trump directed Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about plans to build a Trump Tower in Moscow during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Trump reportedly met with Cohen, his former attorney and fixer, at least 10 times to discuss the tower while maintaining to the public that he had no business ties in Russia.

Two law enforcement officials told Buzzfeed News that the president backed a plan for Cohen to visit Russia and meet with President Vladimir Putin to begin negotiating the project’s construction.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) tweeted Thursday that the allegation is "the most serious to date."

@mystery-ak

News now is, the two investigators did not get this info. from Cohen originally . They have witnesses from Trump's company and documents/emails/texts. Cohen backed up the story when asked about it.

This is still a story not verified.

Asking someone to lie to congress is a crime.  Obstruction of Justice.
Trump lies every day and has all his life.  It is reasonable to think he asked Cohen to lie to congress about the Russian Trump Tower because, to him, lying is normal.

I have read everything out there this morning, and Mueller investigators or him, personally, talked to employees of Trump's company.  Those people would know if they were working on this project to build Trump Tower in Russia.  Trump recently said he or his people, were communicating with Russia on this project so he could do it if he did not become president.  That is one thing, but asking Cohen to lie to congress about it, is a crime.

Eventually, we will know what is the truth and what isn't.

The Gooberment has more lawyers and more money than anyone and can get anyone to say anything they want them to say about anything they want them to say it about.  And that is especially true of worthless pukes like Cohen! If he told me that the sky was blue I would go outside and check!

Yes!!  Remember all the people who rolled over for Clinton.  As in Webb Hubbell's famous remark, "Guess, I'll have to roll over one more time."

The only difference is that now we have a media that has become almost totally corrupt and they will believe and pounce on anything that could discredit Trump.

This was set up for Thursday night because I think Rachel Maddow could make some hay out of it. Like it or not, for the left and on MSNBC, she has had some success at popularity.

So, the timing is suspect. I'm thinking it's probably a maneuver because Giuliani seems to indicate there is nothing to it.

There's nothing the Democrats won't attempt... almost.

Impeachment an option if Trump told Michael Cohen to lie, says House Democrat
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/impeachment-an-option-if-trump-told-michael-cohen-to-lie-says-house-democrat

I'm wondering how difficult it would be for the radical left (deep state, which includes intel agency operatives) to come up with one of Cohen's tapes of Trump conversation... doctored....to direct Cohen to lie.   I'm betting it would be easy peasy.  And that's probably what they're up to.

Nope!  But the democrats better concentrate on keeping their war on Trump in the media because if they ever actually attempt impeachment proceedings, some really nasty truths about their own shenanigans will come out.

The FBI has already been proven to be corrupt.  And there is a lot more corruption on the left that will be revealed.

You know what else is easy?  Laundering money through a construction project that never gets off the ground in Russia.

Um.... so.... would every construction project that "never gets constructed" be guilty of laundering money?  Or is it just ...any one that Trump was involved in?   

Ludicrous.  Seriously.

No more ludicrous than the omnipotent Deep State picking on poor little Donny.

2 years into the Presidency and Trump has no power to protect himself from his own greed and arrogance.  His impotence is frighteningly hilarious except...

The longer the investigation the deeper the cover-up for Muller/Clinton/Rosenstein/Bammy and the more 'evidence' they can create for Trump.

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Ok.  So... I'll ask you what I would ask any member of the idiot left.  What proof (solid, that is... vs. mere innuendo or rabid, hate-based and biased assumptions).... do you have that Trump has broken ANY law... especially since he has been the CIC...? 

I'll wait.

You mean... against Trump, I presume.

Yeah, the deep state cover-up is what this ""Mueller investigation"" is all about... and has been from the get-go.   They knew once it all started coming out about the fake Steele dossier, the FISA warrnt requsts, and the Strozk/Page texts... that they would need some serious, professional "cleaners" on the job.  They got it in Mueller.  With the help of Sessions, and now Barr, I'm sure all of that evidence against the rabid left will be "cleaned" and disposed of.  Some or most already has, in fact.  With full knowledge and in full view of our ""Justice Department"".

Ah... yes.  Just as I suspected.  I ask for proof.  I get nada.  Not surprised.

If the President directed a subordinate to lie under oath to Congress, that's an impeachable offense.

I'm not saying that's true - Cohen is a slimeball of the first order.  But if it IS true -  the President will lose the support of Republicans as well as Democrats.

@Once-Ler

I saw Trump make that statement about shooting someone on 5th Ave.  No big deal was made of that as Trump makes those kinds of statements all the time.  People just discard them knowing it is an exaggeration Trump is prone to do.  The problem is, which statements of Trump are people supposed to take as true?
