The Washington Times ^ | May 20, 2019 | Alex Swoyer

One of President Trump’s lawyers asked another one to lie about the extent of Mr. Trump’s business interests in Russia, according to Michael Cohen, one of the lawyers involved in the exchange.

Cohen told Congress in testimony earlier this year that Jay Sekulow told him to say the president’s dealings on a Trump Tower in Moscow ended in January 2016, or before the GOP primary season kicked off. In fact, Mr. Trump’s team pursued the project through June of that year, according to investigators.

Cohen says many told him to lie but he's in the slammer for lying, liars lie and Cohen's the liar.

Even before this point in time, what difference does the Rooskie Trump Tower have to do with squat?

I couldn’t agree more, he’s always come across as a man of integrity.

Fat chance. If there was one person in Washington to choose to trust to be honest Sekulow would be the man.

No way would Jay tell anyone to lie. Michael Cohen on the other hand...

Define pursued !

Both claims could be correct.

All actual ‘pursuing’ ended at the first date.

But continued communications continued to keep the poker warm in case the pursuit was reopened upon a failed election.

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

This guy has some days of reckoning ahead.

His opponents are expert mud wrestlers. They thrive in the mud. Fight back the same way. With the same relentless approach or die politically. PDT might be a good counter puncher, but it’s down on the ground, in the mud that fights usually end up. Take it to the ground.

Cohen isn’t some bricklayer or insurance salesman. He’s a LAWYER himself ... which means he knows better than anyone else what his obligations are in Congressional testimony.

Come on guys. So Cohen has told 379 lies. Doesn’t mean he’s not telling the truth now does it?

A. Recycling news from events that happened months ago.
B. Whether or not a planned Trump Tower project ended in January or June is irrelevant. Such a project could have continued until Trump was elected.

He’s not even a good liar. He’s like the first person ever to get in trouble for lying to congress.
