Buzzfeed report that Trump 'instructed Cohen to lie' sparks outcry
BBC ^ | 1/18/19

Posted on 01/18/2019 2:41:47 AM PST by Libloather

A Buzzfeed News report alleges Mr Trump directed Michael Cohen to lie about plans to build a Trump Tower in Moscow.

Cohen has already admitted to lying about when the business project ended.

Mr Trump has not yet responded directly to the report's allegations - but he has previously denied ever directing his former lawyer to break the law.

The intelligence committee of the House of Representatives will investigate the claims, says its new chairman, Adam Schiff.

"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," Mr Schiff wrote on Twitter.

No, but I’ve noticed a lot of them call themselves “truth seekers”. What they really seek is whatever fits their agenda that they can call the truth, and ignore anything else. If the truth is considered offensive to them, then they’re outright haters of the truth.

BBC - why aren’t you reporting serious stuff like the following?

17 Jan: WSJ: What Bruce Ohr Told the FBI
The Justice Department official’s testimony raises new doubts about the bureau’s honesty.
By Kimberley A. Strassel
Everybody knew. Everybody of consequence at the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Justice Department understood fully in the middle of 2016 - as the FBI embarked on its counterintelligence probe of Donald Trump — that it was doing so based on disinformation provided by Hillary Clinton’s campaign. That’s the big revelation from the transcript of the testimony Justice Department official Bruce Ohr gave Congress in August. ‘

The rehashed Russia-Russia-Russia story is being pushed to provide cover to suppress the Ohr story. Because at the heart of the Ohr story is that the British government colluded with the Hillary campaign and the Obama admin to throw the U.S. election.

That’s libelous. He was fathered by space aliens.

The whole story actually tells readers most about why to suspect reports from Buzzfeed - no evidence, and about the rest of the media, that they will “report” what BuzzFeed “reports” without doing their own due diligence.

Cohen, a know liar, convicted of lying, is supposed to be believed now because he’s never lie again to gain favor with justice department officials to lessen a sentence or gain favor.

That the BBC happily reports this is telling...he’s a known liar and is trying to avoid a longer jail sentence, he’ll say anything.

It’s so emphasized.... /s

Grasping at straws. He wanted to build a Trump Tower in Moscow? Not illegal. Not “collusion”. Business.

I told my liberal neighbor: " Real estate mogul doing real estate mogul stuff isn't a crime".

If Michael Cohan gave Muelleur the keys to Trump’s impeachment, why is Cohen going to jail?

I hope schiff, pelosi, waters, et al, get microscopes shoved up their butts so far that their eyes will bulge out. The more the mud slinging, the more they are guilty. Schiff leaked information to the press repeatedly and he will have to answer for that soon.
