What did the emails say, exactly? Who were they from? Were the âwitnessesâ people who heard Trump tell Cohen to lie or were they people repeating some rumor they heard from someone who heard a rumor that started after the fact?
Not excited yet.
Cohenâs word, of course, is the least worrisome evidence.
Normally Iâd be skeptical of buzzfeed but they have retooled a bit in the last few years to more serious reporting, and one of the journoâs who worked on this piece is a pulitzer winner for his investigative journalism.
If itâs true, I donât see how Trumpâs Presidency continues. But after '16 who knows.
Absolutely. And if you are going to lie to Congress because the President told you to, and you are someone who covers all these things with recordings and documentation, then you are certainly gong to cover that. So if he ordered Cohen to lie, that will be documented. Conversely, if Cohen did not have such documentation, it is strong evidence it did not happen.
Merkley is right- but DoLoop is also right that the Congress has been dominated by 5th Avenue republicans who would allow for pretty much anything. I would guess there has to be multiple examples of crimes committed before they would vote to convict. Weâll see.
His poll numbers are dropping into the 30s tho. Breaking the threshold into the lower 30s would also make impeachment/conviction easier.
