According to documents associated with a plea agreement reached with the office of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, it was on Aug. 28, 2017, that Michael Cohen sent a letter to the House and Senate Intelligence committees about his interactions with his former legal client President Trump. Among the claims in that letter, Cohen asserted that conversations about a prospective real estate development in Moscow ended in January 2016, before the Republican primaries began. By the end of January 2016, I determined that the proposal was not feasible for a variety of business reasons, his statement read, and should not be pursued further. This was a lie. As Cohen later admitted, conversations continued until June of that year. Presented with this conflict by Mueller, Cohen agreed to plead guilty...(snip)
...In his prepared remarks, Cohen said that Trump never told him specifically to lie about the proposed Moscow deal but that Trump in his way indicated that he wanted Cohen to be dishonest about it. But in the statement, he also offered a more tantalizing explanation: Mr. Trumps personal lawyers reviewed and edited my statement to Congress about the timing of the Moscow Tower negotiations ...

Sekulow should be put under oath.
I bet his dog ate his homework a lot too...
Who to believe, Sekulow or Cohen???
What a SCUM BUCKET Cohen is.
That’s a great question of which there is no easy answer.
Between Cohen and Sekulow, Cohen is the only one who knew whether his testimony was true or false.
What's interesting here is that Cohen's pathological lying is giving all of these other players on Trump's team a very high degree of plausible deniability. Every one of them could plausibly claim that the statements they made based on anything Cohen told them were either true, or they were false only because Cohen was lying to them.
>>Sekulow should be put under oath.
Must see tv to watch Ellijah C-stain’s head cave in.
Cohen: I lied, but Im not a liar
This continual demonstration of pathological lying...gets to the point where nothing that Cohen says...can be 100-percent true. His entire life, successes, and failure...all could be just one big huge fabrication.
I didn’t realize until the other day that for two or three decades...he’d been registered as a Democrat, and only around 2015, did he register himself as a Republican.
My head is spinning. Now he is lying about lying about lying about lying about lying to whom Congress? The “Special” prosecutor? To whom and about what is self-confessed liar lying? This time, I mean.
So then, what is the exact end? Is it when Trump decided to end it? Is it when some formal document was presented? Was it when Cohen decided to end discussions? Etc. Other than Cohen's lies, this whole issue is a meaningless fly speck on the wall of world events. Or should I say meaningless Democrat specks.
I could see a whole line of tee shirts and logo attire exploiting this:
"I stole, but I'm not a thief" "I said FU, but I don't swear" "I cheat, but I'm honest"
Release the names of all congress rats that used tax dollars to pay hush money to cover up their sex crimes. Just do it now. Guaranteed to stop all this witch hunt nonsense. Over 17mil if I recall.
Release the FISA stuff too. All unredacted.
Cohen is very odd. He determined business decisions for Trump? Really?
Creating ambiguity was the goal to the answer given
Obviously the purpose is to implicate one level closer to the President (Sekulow).
Its a win-win for Mueller, Schi** head and the others
How did Cohen ever pass the bar exam?
It depends on what the definition of “liar” is.
Are you sure? Sekulow was on board by June of 2017. Wasn’t Cohen’s testimony in the fall of that year?
I’m talking about the Trump real estate deal in Moscow that was under discussion in 2016 before the election. Cohen was Trump’s lawyer in 2016. Sekulow was not.
