You're thinking of the one about paying off a company to rig online polls. That was the one he confirmed yesterday.

Damn-there's a new Cohen revelation every 90 minutes it seems like.

His congressional testimony could be the best thing since John Dean's back in the Watergate days. Must watch TV.

"Lying to reduce his jail time!" Could apply to at least one other individual, eh?

"I know Cohen committed perjury and fraud because I asked him to! That's how I know he can't be trusted!"

It's looking like Buzzfeed struck gold...

Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer: So you're saying the president did not tell Michael Cohen to do that? Trump White House aide Hogan Gidley: I'm telling you the president refuses to give credibility to it. Hemmer: That was not a denial of my question. Gidley: No, but but but..

Bring on the impeachment!

It it's a legitimate possibility trump would say this. I'm thinking like Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men

And everyone would laugh at him for using honor truth and loyalty in part of his words representing himself.

Mueller spokesman says Buzzfeed story not accurate.

damn
Yup. And how often do they discuss anything?

They say the characterization of statements, evidence and testimony is not accurate.

This is why I said earlier I wasn’t putting much into it. Once a fraud... usually other media outlets can quickly confirm this stuff.

You poor, stupid, TDS suffering fucktards.
LOL.
Chances of you having had near infinite level of Obama Derangement Syndrome: approaching infinity. You see, the thing about Trump, even if all the collusion with Russia stuff is untrue... he was never fit to be president. He is a racist (racially discriminatory housing practices), misogynist (grab them by the pussy/ no i can't really say I respect women), blowhard (I don't know if I would have went in on the Parkland shooting - if you believe that you're fucking stupid
), idiotic (just listen to him speak), and a shitty business man (multiple bankruptcies despite his dad bailing him out over and over - then became untouchable by American banks). So his qualifications were what exactly? Trump has been a tremendous fuck up his entire life despite starting from a position of advantage.

What’s going to be funny is the Trump people pointing the the statement from Muellers office as vindication while ignoring it relies on the integrity of his office and team.

I just wanted to note that you were right. Exactly right. Should you choose to crow and pound your chest, I for one, won't think less of you.

That’s absolutely ridiculous. You have no idea what parts of the reporting are disputed or anything else.

This Buzzfeed "reporter" has a long history of fabricating stories and sources. In 2006 he wrote that Karl Rove had been indicted. Nothing but a lie. He already admitted that he had seen no evidence to support today's "article." Yet, he still has a job. It's 2019 and the media doesn't prove anything, ever. Accusations alone drive the media. So you hardcore demo's can take the wad out and step back and say oh well, just another lie.

Now, lets just move on to the next lie...

So are we looking at unethical journalism or did we all get trolled. I note a rush to both condemn and defend based on ideological leanings. I get called 'both sides' but I recommend less of either. And I also believe Trump is going down.

That’s not what was said at all. You agree with the rest of us though that the president is a pathological liar and a criminal though, right?

I mean nobody really disputes that, at least nobody sane.

You’re suffering from the #bothsides disease as you mention. From the beginning the report was treated as one that still needed to be proven by people who are against Trump.

#bothsides is one of the main sicknesses that afflicts America today. It’s not both sides, it’s one normal side and one crazy side.

Name me a president that hasn't lied. So tell me, what was said?

Criminal??? Tell us what he has been convicted of?

Sorry, you can’t change the terms. I said a pathological liar, someone who lies constantly about everything. Surely you agree Trump lies constantly, right?

Federal prosecutors have named him as a conspirator to multiple felony campaign finance violations. Do you dispute this?

The guy is a felon. The only question is how we prosecute him. Sane people want to prosecute all felons equally so I assume you also want to see him incarcerated, right?

Could be the guy is right and Mueller just doesn't know about it. Or maybe the Russian mind benders have turned on Trump and now they want him out. If that's the case, Trump is toast, those guy's are unstoppable.
