NEW YORK (AP) — Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former lawyer, has pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about work he did on a Trump real estate project in Russia. Cohen made a surprise appearance Thursday in a New York courtroom to enter the plea. He admitted making false statements in 2017 to a Senate intelligence committee about a plan to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. Cohen said he lied about the timing of the tower negotiations and other details to be consistent with Trump's "political message."

One of the prosecutors working with Special Counsel Robert Mueller was present in the courtroom.
Cohen has been cooperating with Mueller’s probe.
from CNN
According to the information read out in court, Cohen made a false statement regarding a proposed Trump Tower deal in Moscow that he was working on in 2015 and 2016. He had a discussion about the project at a later date. Cohen had previously said that the deal was stopped in January 2016.
Absolutely NOTHING to do with the campaign.
Herr Mueller is picking easy low-hanging fruit here.
Cohen is a rat bastard who betrayed the President.
No tears being shed here that Cohen has been selected to be yet another political prisoner of the Deep State Swamp Machine.
The Dems keep entering the trap. They think they can beat the wrap but they won’t. They will end up getting crushed.
No, he's saying that negotiations went on until the summer of 2016, well into the campaign.
Did he claim that the attack on our Libyan embassy was a result of a youtube video?
BBC is saying “OMG this is really bad for Trump” , LOL
And Brennan, Clapper, Comey, Rice, Holder, Lynch, Hillary, etc. are never prosecuted for doing the same thing.
Michael Cohen lies to Congress: FELONY!
James Comey lies to Congress: [crickets]
Lying to congress, who themselves are mostly liars?
All this deal proves is that Cohen is an admitted liar, so why would we believe he gave the ghoul Mueller truthful testimony?
Michael Cohen lies to Congress: FELONY!
James Comey lies to Congress: [crickets]

Not to mention Christine Ballsy-Ford.
Perhaps they just had Trump say the opposite in his written answers.
So what the hell does this prove? That he lied about building something in Russia while he was actually putting people together for the Uranium One deal with Putin himself? Oh wait...my bad...STRING HIM UP, STRING HIM UP!
Lying in an investigation in which there was no crime. What’s wrong with this picture?
Process crime = political vendetta.
More so-called ‘justice’ from the so-called ‘justice department’. perjury traps? weak. what a joke. Mueller is a turd and everyone knows it.
Sacajaweau’s statement stands. The Moscow project was in work before Donald Trump declared himself a candidate.
Mueller has nothing in this except propaganda hysterics to feed the liar media.
For this to have sticking power, Mueller would have to show Trump construction’s proposals and planning were related to election interference which of course, is ludicrous.
Mueller’s only role now is to feed the cockroaches who will never stop to think that Donald Trump is their worst nightmare.
Cohn Lied about the Russia project date it ended. Cohn said January 2016 and Muelldog says it was June 2016. WOW what a Lie and waste of time.
Lying to liars is wrong. Who knew?
