    We are already seeing exactly that by the cultist's reaction to this story.

    Rudy has tried to make this about Cohen's credibility.

    Color Rudy Giuliani Unimpressed On The New Bombshell Cohen Report

    https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/giuliani-unimpressed-buzzfeed-michael-cohen-bombshell
    .....................................................................................................................................
    The problem for Rudy and Don is.................

    "The special counsel’s office learned about Trump’s directive for Cohen to lie to Congress through interviews with multiple witnesses from the Trump Organization and internal company emails, text messages, and a cache of other documents. Cohen then acknowledged those instructions during his interviews with that office."

    Imagine my surprise.

    Trump dismisses BuzzFeed report, accuses Cohen of trying to reduce sentence

    https://www.politico.com/story/2019/01/18/trump-cohen-buzzfeed-lying-1112748
    ..................................................................................................................................................
    The thing is...........Mueller has more than Cohen's word.

    "The special counsel’s office learned about Trump’s directive for Cohen to lie to Congress through interviews with multiple witnesses from the Trump Organization and internal company emails, text messages, and a cache of other documents. Cohen then acknowledged those instructions during his interviews with that office."

    Sounds Like Barr Thinks Trump Telling Cohen To Lie Is Obstruction Of Justice

    https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/barr-thinks-trump-telling-cohen-to-lie-obstruction-justice

    "Attorney general nominee William Barr made comments at his confirmation hearing this week about hypotheticals that sound an awful lot like what President Donald Trump did when he reportedly told Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about his Moscow Trump Tower dealings.

    Based on his testimony Tuesday, Barr considers Trump’s actions obstruction of justice."

    So now the OP believes everything Cohen says and yet just a few short weeks ago Cohen was a guy not to be believed. How small minds work.

    Telling someone to lie to Congress is obstruction of justice. He's going down, one way or another.

    I think that "suborning" will turn out to be the 2019 "word of the year."

    If what you say is correct, why not just stop posting unsubstantiated garbage and wait the 8 years it will take to get Mueller to tell us he has nothing?

    The parallel to the impeachment of Nixon is very clear. We are going to hear all sorts of accusations and smears directed at Buzzfeed and Cohen over this story. No matter how they try to disparage it, or how willing the minions are in believing what the Liar-in-Chief says, the evidence and the truth will win out.

    Using Don's language........this appears to qualify as a "smocking gun."

    How much longer will it take before Republicans who hate Trump [ Rubio/ Cruz/ McConnell/ Christie join Romney/ Bush family/ McCain family/ Schwarzenegger/ Christine Whitman/ Kasick/ etc in denouncing Trump?

    “We know that the President has engaged in a long pattern of obstruction,” Nadler said in a tweet. “Directing a subordinate to lie to Congress is a federal crime. The @HouseJudiciary Committee’s job is to get to the bottom of it, and we will do that work.”

    Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, also said that his panel would do “what’s necessary to find out if it’s true” that Trump had directed Cohen, a longtime loyalist and fixer, to lie to Congress about plans for a massive Trump Tower in Moscow.

    Don can keep the "What, me worry?" routine going for the amusement of the cultists for as long as he can. But the day of reckoning is coming.

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

    The beginning of the end occurred last year; now the details surface like refuse after a fatal air crash out in the sea..

    Yeah let's do keep this one up top for awhile. It's hilarious.

    This is like one of the movies where the jailhouse snitch gives damning testimony against the innocent defendant hero facing the death penalty, and then the hot assistant digs in and uncovers 18 perjury convictions against the snitch in the past in other states. The snitch's past, numerous perjuries are exposed in court, the judge bangs the gavel and shouts "in my chambers!" The judge threatens the prosecution with sanctions and disbarment while the prosecutor claims "Your honor the prosecution had no knowledge whatsoever of all those perjury convictions."

    The only difference is with LW, they just keep repeating the programming over and over like drones, like sign spinners or hoboes walking back and forth in front of a store wearing a sandwich board ad, even after the snitch is exposed as irrefutably perjurious.

    The "journalist" in question has a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG history of publishing complete made up stuff, often unsourced. Not surprised, consider the source is buzzfeed, and the credibility of this OP's threads generally.

    To some extent I can't blame the deniers for their reflexive reaction to this story. A lot of information has come to light without definitive evidence of a crime being committed. This one appears to be the exception. Buzzfeed says Mueller has documentary evidence of obstruction of justice. That puts this in a different category than Don's word against Cohen's.

    Seriously, when will you call it quits? It isn't flattering to be the last doubter. And when Trump is gone what will you say? Nixon fans lasted a little while.

    The very fact that hardly any Republicans are posting is quite telling.

    Maybe consider actually reading the link I posted describing the history of the "journalist" who broke this "huge story?" Because it's obvious you have not done that.

    Or keep bumping this DOA thread more, either way works for me.

    Prepare for a credibility crisis. You can stubbornly deny. What will you post in a month about Trump?
