re: Cohen claims Trump instructed him to lie to congress

Flynn speaking to Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak about lifting sanctions

Mb wasn't in the dossier ...and happened almost a year after the dossier was written.

Why are you a liar?

If we are not concerned with the legality then why have an investigation?

We investigate people instead of crimes? Is that the way it works in America now?

I don’t get your point. Lying to Congress would have nothing to do with whether he colluded or not, since the Russia couldn’t “collude” to help that. And besides couldn’t Cohen’s role in the dealing be as a “colluder?”

---

You obviously didn't read the article. Outside of lying to Congress there are other points that they are claiming that make no sense, if Trump was colluding with Russia.

I'm talking about your personal views on the matter

Hypothetically speaking - if it is proven that Trump asked Cohen to lie to congress would that matter to you at all? Not legally. Would that change your opinion of Trump?

---

Yes.

Holy shite the NPCbots are out hard tonight.

that will become a he said he said
Well according to the article there is a paper trail. If it is just Cohen’s word though, then it’s a he said, he said. And since both are not known for their honesty, Trump would win given the burden of proof.

This is where I think buzzfeed or it’s sources are being tricky... they’re saying they have trump org emails and texts... but trump doesn’t email or text. I think most likely these are communications about Trump tower Russia, but not about trump telling Cohen to lie

If a President knowingly destroys or alters evidence, suborns perjury, or induces a witness to change testimony, or commits any act deliberately impairing the integrity of available evidence, then he, like anyone else, commits the crime of obstruction.

I read the article, but I must be missing the details you’re referring. What points are you referring to exactly? Maybe a quote or something?

When is google going to shadow ban this garbage?

I want the die hard trump supporters to go on record here. If they have stone cold, irrefutable proof that Trump told Cohen to lie to congress will you think it’s a big deal.

I absolutely will think its a big deal, IF it is one.

If its some shitty attempt at a "gotcha" or is largely fake, like has happened numerous times in the past and fizzled out, I'll call that out too. This is where I'm leaning, and frankly the Dems should be too. How many times have Dems and anti-Trumpers been burned by stories like this falling apart? They get their hopes up every time only to see it get completely destroyed a little later.

At this point, with the media's (especially Buzzfeed's) reputation, it's probably best to not assume any of this is actually a 'thing' and wait for supporting evidence.
