Trump suborned perjury and at least in that way obstructed justice

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.

And even as Trump told the public he had no business deals with Russia, the sources said Trump and his children Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr. received regular, detailed updates about the real estate development from Cohen, whom they put in charge of the project.

Now the two sources have told BuzzFeed News that Cohen also told the special counsel that after the election, the president personally instructed him to lie — by claiming that negotiations ended months earlier than they actually did — in order to obscure Trump’s involvement.

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.

Trump accuses ex-lawyer Michael Cohen of 'lying to reduce his jail time' in wake of BuzzFeed bombshell

President Trump accuses his former lawyer Michael Cohen of "lying to reduce his jail time" in the wake of a bombshell report from BuzzFeed News that said the president himself directed Cohen to lie to Congress.

BuzzFeed cited two federal law enforcement officials involved in the investigation. 

Neither NBC News nor CNBC has confirmed the BuzzFeed report.

This guy is going to implode.

So when do Republicans in Congress bail on him?

Would they stick with him if he murdered somebody on the White House lawn, as he bragged his voters would?

Newsies now saying the above is not from sources close enough to Russiagate investigations to be reliable.

Could be fake news.
