my post address the % chance that this is a "leave now Trump, impeachment is coming off this alone" that we're dealing with here.
Twitter is on fire with "the time is now" mentality.
not saying there's a 10% chance it's true at all, or even 10% that the reporting is generally accurate.
we can't forget Clinton dodged the axe by questioning what "is" is. i find it hard to believe there's verifiable proof Trump told Cohen to break the law in a way that Cohen himself wouldn't be the one liable. trump makes a LOT of shitty excuses but "he's the lawyer his job is to know what is illegal" isn't one of them, that's valid. Mistake of Law is an applicable defense in the court of law, as is the mistake of fact followup Trump could claim because presumably we don't have recordings or transcripts implicating him directly.
You definitely didn't make that clear.
We should be talking about this in the Russiagate thread, but this is a useful excerpt:
Quote
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.
If that's accurate, it's not a he said, he said situation. I don't think we should bother thinking about how spineless Republicans will react right now... the story is that the President of the United States obstructed justice while in office. That's huge.
