It's not accurate, at all.
Sorry to burst your bubble. The MSM is working themselves into a sweat over this for no reason other than they want to be sweaty.
Why do I know this?
1) Mueller has known about all of this since September.
2) He could've stopped Trump from picking a Supreme Court nominee.
3) He could've stopped Trump from entering his 3rd year.
4) He didn't.
I'm sorry folks, but you are NOT reading the words of that article carefully. There's no way it can be true.
he can lie directely to the american people, and HIS SUPPORTERS, but instructing cohen to lie to congress is outside the realm of possiblity to you?
Because nobody knows if it is true or not.
The liberal media isn't trustworthy, at all. Even now, as Friday begans to emerge, the subtle whispers and questions about the buzzfeed article began
to get louder 😌
There are many issues I have with this story, some of which have already been addressed.
1. This is from anonymous sources. Remember all of these threads about law enforcement saying Cohen met Russians in Prague and that was a smoking
gun? Oops, turns out they werent true.
So until we see more, I thins its ridiculous to say this is the end or people to be calling for impeachment based on this.
2. There are those that would call for Trump impeachment ab0ut anything at all, as we are already seeing. SO to have them now say this is a huge
deal rings hollow.
3. This is further proof of the double standards of the FBI and intel agencies, and all of the people who dislike Trump on here pushing this story
proves that they know the investigation into hillary was a sham.
How do we know that Trump told Cohen to lie supposedly? Because Cohens office was raided in the middle of the night, evidence was taken that wasnt
destoyed when requested, and Cohen was charged with thing to Congress and is looking at three years in prison.
We know Hillary herself and other connected people to her lied to the FBI according to FBI notes, and yet no one was charged. Had they been, perhaps
they too would have flipped on other people leading to more charges like them being instructed to lie.
And what about all of the other people who lied to congress? Clapper, Comey, etc. Perhaps had they been charged, they would have had incentive to
flip on people who possiblyinstructed them to lie.
This is just more examples of the corruption and double standards of the intel community, going after Trump[ by any means necessary while letting
others off for the exact same crime.
4. Cohen a known liar, and so how can we take his word on this? If there is actual phyiscal eviodence like texts or recordings of Trump specifically
saying to lie to ccongress, that will be one thing. But if its just Cohens word, a man who is desperately trying to get as little jail time as
possible, then it doesnt seem to be that credible.
5. What was the lie about? Well Cohen told the truth about the Mocow business deal, a totlly legal deal btw, he just told the wrong dates, saying
the deal ended in January, when in reality it went into June.
Thats the lie we are discussing? Granted, all lies are bad, but this lie, about the dates on a totally legal business deal hardly seems to be a big
deal.
Conversely, how many times have Presidents probably told there people to lie to congress about all sorts of things?
Is telling someone to lie about non criminal activity a reason to impeach?
If so I have no problem with it. I would like the precedent to be from here forward that anyone who lie to congress to be given three years in
prison, and if any elected official told them to lie, they get impeached. It doesnt matter what the lie is over, if you like your doctor you can keep
it, irs targeting, benghazi was about a video, etc.
Lets start by charging Comey and Clapper with there lies to congress, as well as Mills and Aedin with their lies to the FBI, and see who they flip on.

Of course these days there is so much propaganda that people can't see the different between factual news and fake news. That's the point.

For decades, a so-called anti-propaganda law prevented the U.S. government’s mammoth broadcasting arm from delivering programming to American
audiences. But on July 2 (2013), that came silently to an end with the implementation of a new reform passed in January. The result: an unleashing of
thousands of hours per week of government-funded radio and TV programs for domestic U.S. consumption in a reform initially criticized as a green light
for U.S. domestic propaganda efforts. So what just happened?

If he intructed Cohen to lie to Congress, he would've had to count on all the others who knew and were involved in the business dealings in Russia. It
means they all lied too.
There's no way all of them would've lied to Congress, or the SC, like Kushner, Don Jr. and other lawyers. I really don't know who all knew at the
time.
Also, he was Trump's lawyer. He was supposed to be giving legal advice to Trump. It's a very stupid lawyer who lets a client tell him lie under oath.
It's a buncha bull#.
Now, the House Intelligence Committee wants to investigate this Buzzfeed article. Sounds familiar...exactly how the dossier story went.
the one where he says he never had business dealing with russians..
in your opinion, would plans to open a trump tower moscow be considered business dealing with russians? lol
No deal was ever made. Discussing the possibility of a deal isn't the same as having a business deal.
In the business world, until you have something in writing, you don't have anything.
5. What was the lie about? Well Cohen told the truth about the Mocow business deal, a totlly legal deal btw, he just told the wrong dates, saying

About this. It occurs to me that you can legitimately disagree about when discussions ended. It's not like there's some kind of "deal ending"
ceremony, where the high priest of business proclaims that discussions are over.
Perhaps Trump gave up on the project in January, but a few e-mails were still exchanged over the next few months. I can see where Trump, Cohen, and
others might have legitimate disagreement about when the discussions officially ended. (Because really there's no such thing as an 'official' end to
the discussions.)
