If all it is is about a potential hotel deal that never happened and has nothing to do with anything, I am probably not going to get too worked up about it.

Sorry...witnessing the shite that the so-called "better angels" have been doing for the last 3 years, this is nothing.

I love how this board only has one thread dedicated to this. This is the beginning of the end.

The article claims the SC has corroborating evidence and Cohen liked to record conversations with Trump.


Should be an open and shut case then. What’s Mueller waiting for?

The better question is: Why wasn't Cohen charged with, or convicted for, lying to Congress?

Apparently 3 years isn’t long enough to catch a “Russian spy” in office.

Good question and nobody knows the answer. The whispers keep getting louder that he’s “wrapping up”. He may be. I’m guessing the investigation has taken him in many different directions and parts are finished while others are still getting investigated.

Btw. His AG choice was asked a question very specific to this situation and I don’t think you’ll like his answer.


If they have proof, he’s done. He will either resign, be impeached, or just not run in 2020

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'm not sure I follow what you mean. The crime, if true and verified, was the President directing his attorney to lie to Congress. That is a federal crime for anyone.

Lying to Congress is one of the items he was just sentenced for iirc

Well the Cohen plea and cooperation mostly happened over the last couple months, so I don’t know why you would expect something to immediately happen regardless during a broader ongoing investigation.

You’re a big Trump guy Camden. You think he should be able to tell his lawyer to lie to congress. That cool with you? Hypothetically of course until we see proof.

Trump doesn’t email or text. The article says it’s proof is emails. You are getting all

I can’t wait for this to blow up to smithereens like all of the other fake trump-Russia stories.

Regardless of the legitimacy of these claims, the fact that law enforcement may be leaking to buzzfeed is sad beyond measure, and illegal.

This is like the 3285th "beginning of the end" in about 3 years now, and the 30th involving something Cohen "has proof of."

Pardon us for not being too worried about it

ETA - and why would only Buzzfeed be the ones to hold this "truth?"

I think you should read the article again. It says they have way more than emails. Remember. Cohen liked to record his conversations with Trump. I’m guessing a conversation where he’s being told to commit a federal crime would be one he might want to hold on too.

He was asked several times by Dems which means they were already aware of this. They were baiting the potential AG.
