So where did the Trump paid cohen back story come from, Rudy would have had to imagine it from thin air then blatantly and knowingly lied on live TV. There really is no other alternative

Dude---you can't conclude "anything" that Trump puts out is really true--in the factual sense...
Trump doesn't deal with facts very reliably...
And what attorney of any credibility goes on NATIONAL television and gives out a story that does not come from his client???
Trump told Rudy he did know about it "in general" or maybe he told Rudy that Cohen told him everything...
But whatever he told Rudy to say was stupid--
It backfired on both of them and Rudy tried to make it better the next day but actually made it worse--
So Trump dumped Rudy under the bus by claiming Rudy didn't know what he was saying--
THAT wasn't the truth--Rudy said what Trump wanted him to--they were just both stupid about what they chose to tell...
But the truth is that TRUMP controls all in his sphere
He played Rudy with a portion of the truth just like he plays everyone else
Rudy maybe elaborated like HE does because he loves the limelight and being the center of authority
But Trump DID know about it
Trump is so anal-retentive people don't do anything related to HIS business unless Trump knows
He might lie about it and say he doesn't or admit to only a part of it---but he knows
People get fired if Trump DOESN'T know---remember Tillerson--
Trump didn't know Tillerson--didn't know how hard to control he would be--Tillerson lasted longer than I thought when he was hired...
Do you not remember the letter Trump "wrote"/dictated on AirForce One to frame the meeting at Trump Tower as some simple discussion about adoptions???
Trump was the blocked number Don Jr called during that meeting
Trump KNEW exactly what took place, what was promised on both sides, who was supposed to do what...
And of course what did he do--
He lied about his knowledge, lied about his son's and SIL's knowledge, lied about the purpose--
And then threw everyone under the bus when it didn't work out like he wanted/needed his coverup to do
Trump has lied about his life and actions, words and deeds since he had a public presence--
He claimed he was the greatest high school baseball player of his era---FALSE
He claimed he was a great student--really FALSE--and he has NO degree from Wharton School of Business
He lied his way onto the Forbes' list to leverage that sign of success with his banking lenders...
He has been a liar all his life--
And he has learned to profit from it
Why would he change when it won him the presidency???
