Donald Trump directed Michael Cohen to lie to Congress

I can appreciate the frustration, and I should hope that this is eye opening for a good chunk of the country. You can't vote with the hope that your local Republican rep is "one of the good ones". At the end of the day, they all fall in line.
Trump and Giuliani think that by drawing attention to Cohen's other legal entanglements, they can destroy his credibility as a witness. They probably know a few things about Cohen's other shady dealings.
I'm pretty sure that translates to 'someone at the Washington examiner watched the beginning of Sicario 2 one time'
Please please don't remind him about this racist shit.
Well actually it seems like the players forgot about it too.
Doesn't matter. Impeachment in the house begins a process where Trump HAS to testify before congress.
That brings a LOT of information out into daylight, as well as the certainty that Trump will commit perjury in the process.
I'm starting to think he thinks it will delay, stall the outcome.
Watch Father in Law, Weeknights at 8 pm on FOX.
i heard they are opening for my favorite band, mueller and the 17 angry democrats
Incorrect.
These two posts made me lol. Thanks, y'all. ;)
I don't think they understand that Cohen's conviction actually implicates Trump, since he was working at the behest of Trump.
if this was an actual concern wouldn't we ensure the TSA staff is fully-funded and heavily scrutinize passengers from Saudi Arabia tho. *thinking emoji*
Sounds like witness intimidation to me.
He's such a lame wannabe mob boss.
This suggests the obstruction case is much larger than the Comey firing. It doesn't mean a whole lot until the Mueller report comes out, but it's a good indicator that what I said all along is true: In the end this will not be so much about Trump colluding to win the election as it is Trump colluding to get paid. This is going to be a case built on good old fashioned corruption and influence peddling.
Mueller made sure Cohen pled guilty and was convicted because that makes Cohen a witness and an accomplice to Trump's crimes. Trump can't claim Cohen is a non-credible witness for crimes that they committed together when one-half of the crime duo has already been convicted. Cohen's conviction is based on his testimony and plea. It's not based on a jury deciding his fate vs. any reasonable doubt - he willingly admitted to prosecutors his crimes.
Donald Trump was virtually convicted the same day Cohen was. It's just a matter of the whether Trump is immune to actual prosecution until he leaves office or if the DoJ can take action right now. And whether the Senate is willing to impeach him while he's sitting in office or if they'll just shrug it off and let the DoJ handle it all whenever they're permitted to.

Yeah. I'm sorry, too. We're all frustrated, and I don't empathize enough with different reactions. Cheers.
Only 49% of people bothered to vote, and you think it's a massive indictment of the current racist president and his party?
At this rate, Mueller's investigation will never end cause he keeps obstructing justice every week.
This is my guess as well. He loses the election and then he REALLY loses when all the crimes are much easier to bring to light. He already is going to owe a ton from just the charity debacle not too mention any garunteed campaign violations he accrued already plus his 2020 campaign which has been going since he first won the presidency. He's done, it just might have to wait until he's out of office.
Thanks buddy
Not that I disagree in the Mueller instance, but hearing this as a general thing about law enforcement officers made me laugh. Surely they'd never claim something they didn't have absolute proof of! /s
I don't believe he was ever impeached. He resigned before it happened. Also, he didn't have nearly the Republican support at the end as you're suggesting here.
"Only 49%"
Are you not American because you have absolutely zero understanding of the history of our election turnout.
No I'm not american, but framing the midterms as an insane an undeniable repudiation of Trump when it means 25% of people bothered to vote against him is utterly delusional.
Elections, how do they work?
2018 had the highest midterm turnout in over a century.
Article says there's a plethora of corroborating evidence in the form of texts/emails/documents/etc.
I don't want to alarm anyone but there's breaking news on the prayer rug.

I know if were a devout Muslim going through the touble of bringing my prayer rug on a difficult journey across the border, I'd just ditch it on some rancher's property as soon as I reached the U.S. /s
Put it in the context of voter disenfranchisement, history of turn out at mid-terms, etc and you'll come up with a different viewpoint. It is absolutely an indictment of this administration that so many people came out and voted against them. They gained 40 seats in the House. I mean we're talking about a +8 point difference nationwide as far as House results go. If you don't think that's a shot against Trump, I don't think you'll ever be satisfied by election results.
"Michael Cohen was convicted for lying! You can't trust what he says!"
"But he was lying under the orders of the president to cover up illegal campaign contributions in the form of hush money paid to porn stars and Playboy models."
"See!? You just said so yourself! Lying! He's a liar! Fake news!"

sure, if you rip it out of the context of american history and culture. But so many people here choose to be uninformed about the workings of their government, or were never taught those things in school, that seeing that many people show up really is an incredible feat. Yes, we as a whole fail to involve our people in politics. But the systems were also designed and modified over time to make participation feel futile, and any gains we make shouldn't be dismissed or minimized.
