    You think it is physically impossible for trump to order Cohen to lie to congress.

    Did it make any more sense when I put your analogy in words?

    Well, I agree with you that the original reaction to the Trump election was a little overdone... I was one who actually agreed with Dave Chapelle on SNL, to give the guy a chance to see what he could do. I really did... But with the Muslim ban on the first week, he's consistently done and said things that I find counter to the image I have of America, and by Charlottesville, I was 100% completely against him (even though I've said I understand what he was TRYING to say). 2018 was even worse with no sign of improvement.

    I don't believe (I don't THINK I believe) he's a willing Russian puppet. Either his support of Russian ideas was arrived at separately and is just weird and wrong, or there is kompromat, financial or personal. Either way, it's counter to what we should expect as a US president, if not illegal. He needs to go.

    I agree with the Atlantic article that Impeachment hearings are warranted now, adding this news to the Campaign Finance violations to start, with anything Mueller coming up with to be added later. It's a slow process....

    But if he's not impeached/removed before 2020, I just cannot see those close state electoral votes going his way again.

    Three responses that the annals of history will never lose:

    1) Justice Gorsuch
    2) Justice Kavanaugh
    3) not Justice Garland

    Could care less what else history writes!

    And a fourth response might simply be, but only time will tell that one for sure:

    4) not President Hillary Clinton

    You did a poor job, but I'm sorry it hurt your head.

    I said trump organization emails. Those are emails from within the trump organization, but not necessarily emails sent by trump (who is notorious for not using computers) to Cohen.

    That is an interesting question certainly. He already has clearance from Mueller to testify and so, the usual "unable to answer because it might affect an ongoing investigation" probably won't apply. He is not the person being pursued in the investigation (having reached a plea deal on the charge of lying to congress) and he is not the person handling the investigation.

    My vote is that testimony regarding who lying to Congress and who directed him to do such is probably fair game.

    Believing Cohen as opposed to believing who?

    I've noticed what you said. But the OP says, Trump directed Cohen. Good luck tying Trump to yet another make believe scandal... that be what, fifty fifth? :)

    Two pages in and there hasn't been a single response to your question from the dozens of Trump supporters who read it. Heck, a dozen or so replied to the thread but ignored the question.

    Can you name one or two of the make believe scandals? They all seem to be very accurate.

    Even if proven 100%, news like this won't move that needle at all... It's a "process" crime.... I can see those posts coming in droves...

    Of course not. With Trump you have no idea what crimes he is capable of. Best not to commit if you are willing to support him no matter what crimes he is guilty of.

    Because he has brain cells and a grasp of the obvious.

    Why wasn't Obama indicted for his role in wire tapping the Trump campaign?

    Yep, for the last two years every month was another 'Trump is finished' report that never panned out.

    You may wish to waste your time screaming uselessly at the sky but I have better things to do.

    If you don't like what the left is saying then ignore it. But you can't ignore the fact that Trump's campaign people are being investigated, indicted, pleading guilty and in some cases sentenced to jail.

    This didn't come from Cohen:

    "The special counsel’s office learned about Trump’s directive for Cohen to lie to Congress through...internal company emails, text messages, and a cache of other documents."

    If true this is obstruction of justice and he needs to be impeached. Bill Barr was even asked about this very scenario and said it would be obstruction:
