    President Trump Directed His Attorney Michael Cohen To Lie To Congress About The Moscow Tower Project

    President Donald Trump directed his longtime attorney Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about negotiations to build a Trump Tower in Moscow, according to two federal law enforcement officials involved in an investigation of the matter. Trump also supported a plan, set up by Cohen, to visit Russia during the presidential campaign, in order to personally meet President Vladimir Putin and jump-start the tower negotiations. “Make it happen,” the sources said Trump told Cohen.

    Dude.....this has already been (sorta....but maybe not) refuted by Mueller. He doesn’t want a bunch of hacks playing in his sandbox. Especially when things are getting juicy.

    When you see Jason Leopold involved with breaking a story, it's best to assume it's false till someone credible confirms it. On top of that, it's always best to think about if a story makes sense before believing it simply because you want to be true. If Cohen had anything serious on Trump that could be proven, he'd have gotten immunity and wouldn't be about to head to prison.

    It's so rare that Mueller issues statements that there must be a big discrepancy.

    At the very least it has flipped some on Mueller taking his time on this. Everyone is ready for the report at this point.

    Sad day for journalism.

    It's so awesome to see that the wingnuts now consider Mueller and his team as credible. Noted.

    @Astrodome tried to merge these conversations but can’t figure out how to use those tools. I’ll leave this open as it’s significant enough to warrant its own thread

    didn't realize you had already made this comment. I'm glad you decided to handle it this way.

    When it comes to this BuzzFeed story specifically, one of the authors Anthony Cormier says that he never saw any evidence whatsoever supporting the claims and the other author Jason Leopold has been busted pushing outright fake news where he claimed to have sources that did not exist.

    It's embarrassing that this story was even allowed to be published and both authors and the editor should be immediately fired over it unless they are somehow vindicated.

    BuzzFeed’s goal is to get clicks on their page so that they can sell more ads. They’ve accomplished this. Too bad they are peddling lies and fake news to do it.

    Link time for you, dog.

    P. S. Reporters don't need to see evidence. That's what sources are for. This is how investigative journalism has worked since time began.

    The Week criticized Fox for giving this story only 22 seconds this morning. Newt Gingrich was interviewed and said Buzzfeed was the "equivalent of those tabloids you buy at the grocery store on the way out that introduce you to Martians and tell you the story of three stars who had anguished lives that you never knew about."

    Looking like Newt might have the last laugh here.

    Newt Gingrich looks far too much like Wade Phillips (an actually cool human being).
