Didn't Cohen already admit to lying about the Trump Tower Project? Per the Buzzfeed article.

Quote:
Cohen pleaded guilty in November to lying about the deal in testimony and in a two-page statement to the Senate and House intelligence committees. Special counsel Robert Mueller noted that Cohen’s false claim that the project ended in January 2016 was an attempt to “minimize links between the Moscow Project and Individual 1” — widely understood to be Trump — “in hopes of limiting the ongoing Russia investigations.”
Now sources are saying Trump told him to lie. Why does that sound farfetched, especially when it's come to light that Trump dictated a misleading statement for Don Jr. about the Trump Tower meeting? This is par for the course.

Buzzfeed is partially owned by NBC.

If there is a big story about Trump that is ironclad truth, it will be NBC who breaks the story.

If it something that's shady, or it's not verifiable and mainly gossipy - NBC will not put that out there because it would damage their reputation. That's where Buzzfeed comes in. They are the outlet for the Trump stories that keeps the impeachment flames afire, even though those stories are not completely true. It also gives NBC and other large propaganda outlets cover in stating that this is a Buzzfeed story, not their story.
Do you believe Cohen lied to Congress about the Trump Tower Moscow Project?

I have to admit that it's difficult to tell the difference between partisan hysteria and real news. This goes for both sides, obviously. I'm holding out for a more legit news source (meaning MSM) or, better yet, Mueller's report.

I have no idea.

He has obviously flip flopped on this. Who knows? All of these secondary players are flaky and can be manipulated.

What reason is there to believe Cohen worked with Trump on this - other than Trump is evil and he stinks and his hair is orange?

I do understand what Buzzfeed does and the role they play. I would suggest taking their Trump reports at arms length at minimum if you are interested in truth.

McConnell is the biggest POS in Congress. It’s unbelieveable how one man from a state whose population is nearly the same as Los Angeles can hold the entire country hostage.

The day he leaves Congress, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, will be a big win for the nation.

Sorry to tell you Trump fanboys and girls but your dear leader's time in the White House is just about up. None of this should be shocking really. Donny is a criminal, he doesn't even try to hide it. And like other's have already pointed out it's really hard to envision a scenario where Donny is a ballot choice come 2020. Stick a large fork into his behind. Its a wrap.

A law...passed by congress, and made law by overriding a veto....likely wouldn't be good enough. The requirements to be POTUS are stipulated in the Constitution. Changing the requirements would probably require an amendment to the Constitution that would need to be ratified by at least 38 state legislatures.
