It seems that Cohens legal team are confirming details left and right, which makes me think this is only the tip of the iceberg of the "chilling" things he's had to do for Trump. These investigations may not only prove buzzfeed true, but more damning information.

On the heels of a bombshell BuzzFeed News report Thursday night alleging President Donald Trump directed his former lawyer Michael Cohen to lie, under oath, to Congress to cover up his negotiations to build a Trump Tower in Moscow during the 2016 campaign, two of the House’s top committee’s will investigate the matter.

Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, a California Democrat, and Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat, vowed to open congressional investigations.

Congress is going to use Buzzfeed as probable cause? :lamo

No, they are going to use multiple sources as probable cause. It's amazing that you think this should not be investigated.

If confirmed….this is the impeachable offense Dems and others have been waiting for. Pretty much what ended Nixon...ordering people to lie to Congress/Obstruction.

With everything Schiff for brains already sat in on and accused Trump of, yet he has to have an investigation to find out if this is true, it likely isn't what it is being made out to be.

No ****? House committees are planning to investigate Trump? Frankly, that's rather shocking considering the level of support he's seen from Democrats.:roll:

Seriously, it's hilarious that these committees are going to hang their hat on crap that comes from Cohen. What is it that Democrats keep on seeing in sleazy lawyers?

If it's been handed to Mueller then it is being investigated, right?

Couldn't happen to a nicer scumbag.

And look at all the Trumpsters deflecting for the scumbag in spite of knowing to their core that he's as shady as they come.

Kellyanne Conway's choice of deflection is to say it should be chilling that two law enforcement officials are being cited as sources for information about Trump's subornation of perjury.

Yes, Kellyanne, it's chilling that anyone within the government would share information about the criminal activity of the president. Riiiight. That's what we're supposed to be taking from these latest revelations about Trump's malfeasance.

Well, we now know that the FBI was doing less of an investigation and more of an exoneration.

Those FBI top dogs had really hung their career prospects on her win.

Irrelevant. The FBI was investigating it and you guys were all good with congressional hearings. Just admit your hypocrisy and move along.

They didn't investigate ****. They gave everyone who might be involved immunity, accepted "no" as an answer to their subpoena for the server and had the result drawn up before they even interviewed the principle.

It was the Washington Post that broke Watergate.

All the investigators need to do, as they did with the Post - is talk to the reporters and get their source to verify. Nothing whatsoever hinges on Buzzfeed itself. If the sources can be checked out it is worth an investigation.

Conway wouldn't even back Trump up on this.

They investigated it. The fact that you didn't like the outcome is irrelevant. Now admit your hypocrisy and move along.

I think Conway at this point probably wishes she never accepted the job to work for Trump, and just faded away into oblivion when Ted Cruz dropped out of the primaries.
