President Trump Directed His Attorney To Lie To Congress About The Moscow Tower Project

President Donald Trump directed his longtime attorney Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about negotiations to build a Trump Tower in Moscow, according to two federal law enforcement officials involved in an investigation of the matter.
Trump also supported a plan, set up by Cohen, to visit Russia during the presidential campaign, in order to personally meet President Vladimir Putin and jump-start the tower negotiations. “Make it happen,” the sources said Trump told Cohen.

And even as Trump told the public he had no business deals with Russia, the sources said Trump and his children, Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr., received regular, detailed updates about the real estate development from Cohen, whom they put in charge of the project.

The cracks in the glass are spreading. Even more illegal activity rising to the surface.

Lying to Congress is a crime. Directing someone to lie to Congress is conspiracy and obstruction of justice. If this is true, which it seems, do we really need to wait for the Mueller investigation to complete before contemplating impeachment? This IS collusion.

I need evidence, and make no mistake Cohen claiming something is not evidence.

That's dumb. There was reporting on the Trump Tower in Moscow long before Cohen's testimony.

Is Trump that stupid?

According to the article:

The special counsel’s office learned about Trump’s directive for Cohen to lie to Congress through interviews with multiple witnesses from the Trump Organization and internal company emails, text messages, and a cache of other documents. Cohen then acknowledged those instructions during his interviews with that office.

Isn't that enough evidence?

John Oliver does call this "stupid Watergate." He's being proven right.

The 'stable genius' may be that stupid.

If this is true, is game over. Obstruction, suborning perjury, conspiracy etc. are all in play. If true, this will be bad and not just for papa Trump, but also for offspring as well.

If true and can be verified, impeachment proceedings should begin very soon and any republicans who do not vote to convict should have their loyalty to this country scrutinized.

Again, if verified.

If Buzzfeed has this, it means Mueller has everything.

I've long suspected that Schumer and Pelosi knows more about the Trump/Mueller investigation than we do. I've long suspected that Pelosi has impeachment proceedings as the next move up her sleeve. Remember when Trump said, that she didn't want to be dealing with a border wall fight the second she took power? I bet, that's exactly what she wanted.

The problem for her is that she has to deal with Republicans in congress who either won't believe it, will ignore it, or are compromised/infiltrated by Russia themselves...

I think he is. He seems to lack the ability to think through things to their consequences.

Actually, technically, Cohen's testimony is evidence. That said, as the article states:

".....The special counsel’s office learned about Trump’s directive for Cohen to lie to Congress through interviews with multiple witnesses from the Trump Organization and internal company emails, text messages, and a cache of other documents. Cohen then acknowledged those instructions during his interviews with that office..."

So, this is not a matter of what Cohen says, this is a matter of the credibility of the Buzzfeed story. If the story is true, then Cohen is only a PART of the evidence. So, like all investigative and Washington reporting, this is either your first introduction to tomorrow's history OR this story is substantially incorrect. What's your bet?

If the story is true...... well, Nixon lost his job for less.

"The allegation that the President of the United States may have suborned perjury before our committee in an effort to curtail the investigation and cover up his business dealings with Russia is among the most serious to date. We will do what’s necessary to find out if it’s true."

No evidence. Just like you lefties think that Christine Ford's testimony is compelling evidence against Kavannaugh, you think the testimony of a known crook, Michael Cohen, should be believed as fact.

That would be a fine defense if that was all there was. In addition to testimony, they have interviews with multiple witnesses from the Trump Organization, internal company emails, text messages, and a cache of other documents. If your standard is the only reliable evidence is a signed confession in blood, nothing will ever satisfy you.

These revelations are coming out daily. Is there anyone who doesn't already believe that Trump-Putin-treason is a real thing? Even Trump loyalists surely know it's true but won't admit it to themselves and pretend to the rest of us.

LOL. You guys always say that we don't know what evidence Mueller has. Now all of a sudden you know. Care to share?
