BuzzFeed: Sources say Trump directed Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about proposed Moscow project

All of which means what? Are charges going to be formally filed or what? How many more months does this little drama go on before we actually SEE something of any substance involving Donald John Trump? If there's this big avalanche of evidence that's going to come down on Trump, where is it?! Isn't there anything to all this big, hooptie story besides "a reporter thinks that Mueller has something that he got from Cohen"? That's pretty threadbare, even for a radical, Trump-hating Democrat....

 

I understand the jokes about Buzzfeed, but people do know that Buzzfeed news has had several Pulitzer Prize nominations over the past 2 years right? One of the journalists who broke this story is Jason Leopold. Just look up his achievements. He said he has seen documents and has been briefed on them as well. It's very likely that this will end up being proven true.

 

As of now, the story is hearsay.

I am willing to wait to see if any corroborating evidence emerges.

In any event, as long as there is an ongoing investigation, why would someone expect a final decision on criminal charges until the investigation is completed?

As of now, nobody has any idea what Mueller has.

 

ROFL, and Yasser Arafat was given the Nobel peace prize. Your point?

 

...he rants, ignoring the indictments, guilty pleas and incarcerations of Trump's campaign flunkies.

 

We have seen plenty of substance regarding Donald Trump. I can link you a whole host of details, the vast majority of which you know already.

But I have no idea how much longer the Mueller report will take. There is zero reason for him to rush the report, as much as I may want Trump removed from office yesterday. And there is zero indication that Mueller's report will result in charges filed against Trump while he is still President, as that goes against a fairly longstanding DOJ guideline. But Democrats are already vowing to investigate and the clamors for an actual punishment that can take place while Trump is President (impeachment) are dependent on those investigations.

 

Did you think the Nobel Peace Prize and the Pulitzer were the same thing? Or did you really just try to imply that internationally recognized awards are meaningless?

 

My point is that he is a distinguished journalist with a career of integrity and honestly. This report will likely be proven true. We will find out soon enough.

 

Thank you. Your Post #73 lays it out clearly. Especially the part that reads: ..."...However, when asked by New Day host Alisyn Camerota if he had personally seen any “corroborating evidence” that backs up his story, BuzzFeed’s Cormier responded, “No, I’ve not seen it personally.” In other words, he was pulling all of this out of his ass? Where have ever seen this kind of tactic used before? Ah, I remember now -- NAZI GERMANY!

. "EVIDENCE?! You're kidding... right?"

 

News that reflects badly on Trump is not automatically fake news.

You don't seem to understand the difference.

 

You don't seem to understand that they don't have a real source... AGAIN.

 

I absolutely think there are bias's with these types of awards. Hell, look at the Rock n Roll Hall of fame. No Kiss? Really???

And Chevrolet wins the JD Power awards every other week and they surely are no longer the model of integrity.

 

They say they have multiple sources. Just not named. That is not the same as fake news.

I have asked many times on this forum for someone to identify any major story about Trump from any of the MSM sources that has been shown to be fabricated. Fake.

Crickets. Nothing. Trump and his cultists cry "fake news" every time something unflattering comes out, but no-one ever manages to show it is fake.

Let's see with this one.

 

Jesus, why would you like prisonplanet.com? Ugh. There are plenty of other sources for that CNN interview. The prisonplanet.com reporting cuts off some rather significant points from the interview. Like this:

“[Our sources] have been working the Trump Moscow tower portion of the investigation…before Mueller. So they had access to a number of different documents, 302 reports which are interview reports,” he said. “That stuff was compiled as they began to look at who the players were speaking with, how those negotiations went, who all from the Trump organization and outside the organization were involved in getting that tower set up.”

And this:

“My sourcing on this goes beyond the two on the record,” Cormier told Camerota, adding “It’s 100 percent. I am the individual who confirmed and verified that it I am telling you our sourcing goes beyond the two I was able to put on the record. We were able to gather information from individuals who know this happened. ”

 

My guess he was just proud of himself for spelling Yasser Arafat correctly??

 

But for the Trump cultists it will be "fake news". Until it is proven true.

But that won't ever stop them from crying "fake news" whenever they hear something they don't like about President Small Hands.

 

Is it really so hard for you to believe that Trump directed Cohen to lie to Congress?

The man essentially threatened to blackmail Cohen at 10am this morning.

 

FAKE NEWS!!!

 

Precisely. What is "proven true" to these folks? @Bluesguy continues to defend Trump's call for Russian hackers to release illegally obtained emails on his political opponent as clearly a joke.

Hey, bluesguy, do you consider the fact that Russian state actors tried to hack Hillary's Server - for the first time - within 24 hours of that comment as clear evidence that he was making a joke?

 

You have elected the biggest liar ever elected to any office whose only motivation in life is his own enrichment and self gratification and adulation and yet you the gullible question the veracity of those who didn't drink the Kool-Aid????Baffling.

 

Do you have even a rudimentary understanding of how journalism works?

 

FYI, the First Articles of Impeachment against Nixon were for "obstruction by directing others to lie".

"Sources". Heh.

As the Democrats said: Neither perjury nor obstruction of justice rise to the level of an impeachable offense.
