Why did Cohen lie so much?
And why is Lanny Davis admitting that Cohen perjured himself? This entire situation stinks.
Read the story, my friends. Lanny is quoted on the record saying, "During that time period, [Cohen] directed his attorney to explore possibilities of a pardon at one point with Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani as well as other lawyers advising President Trump,”

Wow. Erik Prince is saying that the transcript of his testimony is wrong, and that’s why he lied theintercept.com/2019/03/08/eri…
The Psy Group meeting was about Iran? Another blatant lie. Even Zamel said it was about Psy Group!
This is the face of a man who was exposed on tv for having committed a felony

Lots of rumblings that tomorrow could be the day for Mueller’s final act. We shall see.

I can’t tell you how many conservatives I know view this as a barometer. Democrats have to be willing to go on Fox News.
Debate is a good thing in a Democracy!!!
None of this is about the debates.

So @RepSpeier has it exactly right—the way most people took Cohen's Congressional testimony, he said before Congress that, in all his face-to-face contacts with Trump, he never asked him (directly) for a pardon. The report we have now is that his lawyers looked into it with Rudy.
1/ What everyone agrees is that Michael Cohen had sufficient "direct" access to Trump that he could have asked him *directly* for a pardon, and that if he said he didn't do that, it may well be true given how many questions from Congress he willingly answered on this exact issue.
2/ Just as the media is trying to create a "Dems in chaos" narrative—regarding Rep. Omar—that's more or less farcical, the media is trying to create a "Cohen perjured himself" narrative that's not going to turn out the way folks think *because* of how Cohen phrased his testimony.

Look, there's no question at this point Michael Cohen perjured himself before Congress yesterday. He said he never sought a White House job when he's ON VIDEO saying he sought one and would accept whatever job was offered to him.
What a dumbass. Went in there with 1 of his major goals being to get his sentence REDUCED by cooperating with the Dems, then ends up lying his off on so many obvious things he ends up being hit with NEW perjury charges.

& Schiff claims this makes Cohen MORE credible! 😂😂😂
And for those who bought the false narrative that "Mueller gave Cohen immunity for any future crimes he commits!" you need to research that yourself instead of reading doom crying bloggers and mental patients.

I would be shocked if Cohen didn't say something false at yesterday's hearing, but this referral is impressively lame.
The most striking thing, however, is that none of the examples of alleged perjury have anything to do with Cohen's substantive claims against the president.

They were unable to find a single thing Cohen said about Trump that they could label a lie, even for PR purposes.
Although I will award @Jim_Jordan and @RepMarkMeadows half points for their claim that Cohen perjured himself when he testified that he was a good lawyer, because well they're not wrong.

#Cohen postpones testifying due to alleged threats. Thread on elimination witness. It is called "bespredel" and is practiced in the 90s and until now in Russia. Thread. cnbc.com/2019/01/23/mic…
1. Previously, last week, Cohen was photographed/videorecorded coming home after "a shoulder surgery, the same day BuzzFeed suggested Trump told Cohen to lie to Congress about a Trump Tower in Moscow" independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…
2. There is a long-standing Russian tradition of eliminating witnesses and people who know too much. Below is an incomplete list of murders and sudden deaths of people relevant to the elections 2016:
