    Mueller insists that we wait for him even if it is true that Trump demanded that Cohen lie to Congress!

    I wonder if Trump is spoon feeding the idiots these stories just to make his fake news report. Something tells me he's playing the media like a fiddle because we literally get one of these breaking news headlines that all the dems lose their minds about get debunked within a day, it literally happens every week.

    El Adobe de Capistrano

    President Nixon's Favorite Mexican Restaurant

    The El Adobe de Capistrano
    is a modern Mexican food restaurant created from the marriage of two historic California structures. Located on the main drag of San Juan Capistrano and known to the locals simply as El Adobe, the northern portion of the building (where the bar is located) was the home of Miguel Yorba and was constructed in 1797. The southern portion, where the Portola Room is, was constructed around 1810 and served as the courthouse with the basement (where the wine cellar is) serving as the jail. The buildings were joined in 1910.

    President Richard Nixon ate here frequently during his administration. The Western White House, Nixon's Casa Pacifica, is located just down the road in San Clemente. Nixon's favorite combination dish is still on the menu.

    The jail portion of the building is said to be the most active in regards to ghosts and such. El Adobe also boasts of the ghost of a headless friar who appears every now and then (probably the same ghost from Mission San Juan Capistrano, which is a short walk up the street). Legend has it that the famous California bandit, Joaquin Murrieta, was jailed here at one time. It could be true -- maybe he haunts the jail... https://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/33146

    Actually he used a word of milder tone: inaccurate

    Means the same, doesn't sound as bad.

    But in the wrap up it's another fake news hit piece.

    Then it should be easy for you to answer the question.

    If a president instructed a witness to lie to Congress about an investigation concerning the president, would you think that should be an impeachable offence?

    Since Mueller said such a report was "inaccurate" then why are you wasting your time worrying about fake news hypotheticals? Isn't that left wing mental masturbation?

    Mueller said aspects of the report were inaccurate.

    I will still wait to see what the Mueller report says - and I will accept the findings, no matter what they are.

    Are you prepared to say the same?

    • Insulting or personally attacking other posters (Rule 2)
    <Rule 2> Per the left wing Washington Post:

    "The special counsel’s office reviewed evidence to determine if there were any documents or witness interviews like those described (by Buzzfeed), reaching out to those they thought might have a stake in the case......They found none......People familiar with the matter said the special counsel’s office meant the statement to be a denial of the central theses of the BuzzFeed story."

    It's not just "aspects" that were inaccurate. It's the central theses of the accusation that Trump directed Cohen to lie to Congress. How do you, like Buzzfeed, <Mod Edit>

    LOLOLOLOLOLOL. You are already refuting the findings above when the central theses has been shot down by Mueller but you are trying to change what he said. <Rule 3>

    You are already not accepting his findings by bringing up hypotheticals Mueller has already publicly shot down. This is left wing mental masturbation. You are just too clueless to see it.

    You edited my post. That's against forum rules. You edited out a really important part. My question to you.

    The report hasn't been published yet. I haven't drawn any conclusions about whether Trump instructed Cohen to lie to Congress. I know there is a Buzzfeed report that says he did, and Mueller's office has issued a statement saying aspects of the report are wrong. It isn't clear to me what the truth is. I will wait for the report. That doesn't prevent anyone from asking hypotheticals, but no Trump supporters are prepared to answer. I guess they are scared that maybe there might be some aspects of the Buzzfeed report that are true, and they don't want to commit themselves.

    So now I'll say it again, and ask the question again.

    I'll wait for the Mueller report and accept the findings. WILL YOU?

    So what you are saying is that you don't accept the Mueller statement that rejected the "central these" (as the Washington Post detailed) of the claim that Trump instructed Cohen to lie since you are going back and trying to minimize it again by calling it just "aspects"?

    No. I'm not saying that. Don't put words in my mouth. Here is the statement from the Mueller office:

    I accept that. I accept it but I don't fully understand what it means because it refers to "specific statements" without identifying which statements. It refers to things being "inaccurate" without stating the accurate version.

    Now, to come back to the question that you seem afraid to answer. Do you have the courage to answer this time?

    I'll wait for the Mueller report and accept the findings. WILL YOU?

    I’ll answer:

    Impeached AND removed from office. It’s already been determined that it isn’t enough to remove the president from office though. Thanks 1990’s.

    That is NOT what Mueller said, you're 100% factually incorrect just like buzzfeed. Deal with it instead of continuing to make up more lies to cover their lie, your as bad as Cohen.

    When, in the 1990s, did a president instruct a witness to lie to Congress about an investigation concerning that president?

    Who elected you to speak for everyone? Lack of an intellectual response noted.
