IMPEACHMENT

Mueller – 🍊 lied in his written anwers?

For the Mueller probe, the most damning thing Cohen alleged today ties Wikileaks right to Trump and raises this question:

Did Trump break the law and lie to Mueller in his written answers?

of Cohen hearings

I don't believe that Cohen is repentant and I also don't care. I care if he tells the truth. He gave a selective narrative that played down long-term criminal networks, but mostly answered honestly. Now act, Congress! What matters is not Cohen's feelings but our country's fate.

takeaways

What did we learn from today's Cohen hearing?

— Cohen is making remarkable allegations
— There's a roadmap for ongoing investigations
— Cohen was critical, to a point
— The is a White House problem, not just a campaign one https://t.co/y88veSST7q

— Jeremy Herb (@jeremyherb) February 28, 2019

per Feinstein

In particular: 1) Roger Stone speaking with the president about Wikileaks, 2) the president’s lawyer editing Cohen’s false testimony to Congress, 3) hush money payments using campaign funds, 4) who knew about the Trump Tower meeting and 5) the Trump Tower Moscow deal in 2016.

Wiki-lie
