Impeachment talk grows louder after report Trump told Cohen to lie to Congress
NBC News ^ | January 18th, 2019 | By Dartunorro Clark

Posted on 01/18/2019 9:01:18 AM PST by Mariner

Calls for President Donald Trump's impeachment grew among Democrats on Friday after a report said he had directed Michael Cohen, his personal lawyer and fixer at the time, to lie to Congress about negotiations to build a Trump Tower in Moscow.

BuzzFeed News on Thursday evening reported that Cohen told special counsel Robert Mueller the president personally instructed him to lie to Congressional investigators in order to minimize links between Trump and his Moscow building project, citing two federal law enforcement officials involved in an investigation of the matter. The report also alleged that Cohen was directed to give a false impression that the project had ended before it actually did.

NBC News has not independently confirmed this report.

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, called the allegation the “most serious to date” Thursday evening and said that his committee would look into the matter.

“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,” Schiff said in a tweet. “We will do what’s necessary to find out if it’s true.”

The shutdown is also cover for caving into the CHiComs on trade. We are dropping our tariffs. It’s a sucky world.

“No evidence has actually been seen, by anyone. None.”

Worse, all the media is referencing a report that is referring to a report that contains an investigator’s assertion of a “fact” that has not been subject to scrutiny by the supposed accused. Or any rule of substantiation in the law.

IF it even exists.

It’s a friggin’ disgrace. For the media and all the Dim politicians demanding impeachment “if”...

It certainly stirs my hatred.

Didn’t Clintons approval number go up after he was impeached for perjury and abuse of power?
The Senate even though GOP majority at the time refused to remove him?

Actually CNN broke the dossier story, then Buzzfeed published the actual dossier.

Then they got sued by people who were accused of thing in it they did not do.

Last I saw the suit was thrown out because a judge ruled that the dossier was itself newsworthy by virtue of the fact it was in the news (CNN, I guess).

But, I do think they did us a favor by printing the entire dossier, this allowed everyone to see how absurd it was, how poorly sourced it was, etc. They probably did more to debunk the "muh Russia" narrative than any other MSM outlet.

Retarded and delusional. I’m stunned by what they have become.
Ready to stune with my beeber.

I guess for those who remember what the media did during the Vietnam War period, those that were old enough, it does not stune them as much.

I was born in 1963, I voted for Reagan for his second term, I remember the press nastiness of that time , it seems mild compared to now where it has become rather propagandish, perhaps at time militant.

(Is propagandish a word?) The press could actually end up being where the spark goes off first. Typing thoughts out loud STOP.

#3. Yes, NBC, aka “Nothing But Crap” network; “Nothing But Communism” network; “Never Be Correct” network.

Instead of shooting themselves in the foot, they accidentally aimed a little bit higher so now they are known as the “No Balls Channel”.

Well it figures....

CNN and MSNBC collectively used the word “impeach” nearly 200 times on Friday before the Special Counsel’s office disputed a bombshell report by BuzzFeed News.

Schiff, Lieu, and Swalwell all members of the House Intelligence Committee have been 'leaders' in investigating Trump for potential “collusion” with Russians....Eric Swalwell is 'the dumbest' of the bunch... this guy is a has nothing to say other than what is pumped into his empty head every day

Trumps kicking butts and not bothering with names, and the Liberals and the MSM just keep falling on their faces....giving us one long glorious popcorn feast since Trump was elected President!

God is good!
