Cult 45 won’t budge then, either. They’ll never budge; they’ll never admit what he is, and they’ll never do the right thing. There is no set if circumstances that will get them to turn.

...but a certain number of other Republicans will probably finally try to escape their Faustian bargain once they’re hopelessly surrounded by flames.

I, personally am ready for a long day of congressional Republicans running away from reporters, saying they haven’t seen the report or contorting themselves into pretzels in order to argue suborning perjury is actually good.

i like how before this story broke, Barr was asked if a president directing someone to lie to congress was obstruction of justice and he said yes

I am looking forward to people internet legal scholars pretending "suborning" was part of their vocabulary before today.

So basically Trump was put in power by Russia, Israel, UAE, and SA? At this stage, it might as well be NK too....

We basically knew this a few weeks ago when Cohen plead guilty. Pretty clear he didn't lie to congress/federal investigators of his own accord.

^^It has been used exactly one time before today on this website. And that was back in 2005 in relation to a thread about Bill Clinton.

Ronan Farrow is saying the part of the story that he couldn’t corroborate was that there’s documentation that trump himself directly ordered the lying.

Definitely an interesting twist in all of this. The thought is agents in SDNY are the leakers, and leaking disinfo can only help trump. Cohen himself on twitter affirmed the thrust of the report that trump ordered him to do it.

The plainest reading is that the same FBI agents working with Guiliani since the election are still working with him to leak info to help trump, and Cohen is also still working for trump despite the public feuding.

Also, if the special counsel is saying that at least 1 part of buzzfeeds reporting is false, that implies to me the case against trump is weaker than the charges/pleas we already know about would indicate.

I think we all price in that Cohen is a slimy scumbag, but I had been minimizing the likelihood he hadn’t actually turned on trump, but I think the likelihood that he’s still on trump’s side just went up to me.

I think the plainest reading is Buzzfeed got greedy, overreached and ran a story without fully corroborating sources.

Empty wheel reminds us that there's at least 3 other instances that aren't disputed where trump had suborned perjury

^ yeah they screwed up, not much more needs to be said. But still curious who is shopping this info and why did Cohen so readily affirm if

Cohen corroborated because he was told to lie, Muellers statement is probably about the documentation and being mad because he doesnt like leaks

^^^i thought that but given everything that's gone on in the past three years, there's no way mueller risks his credibility by falsely claiming something. so i'm very intrigued by this because i don't see why buzzfeed would have run something they didn't believe was solid.

He's not claiming anything falsely - that's the point I'm making in my post. Which is why this situation is fubar. I don't see Buzzfeed running this story without confidence it was true and I don't see Mueller falsely disputing it to buy himself time or to temper impeachment talk. I only see him disputing it because it's false.

dtownral made a point in another thread that it's likely mostly/generally true and only the specific points are being disputed (which I would normally agree with). But the two points Mueller is disputing are literally the entire point of the Buzzfeed story - that Cohen testified to Mueller he was directed to lie by Trump and that Mueller possesses Trump Organization documentation that corroborates this.

So I have no clue what's going on.

Ah, ok, I'm following you now.

BuzzFeed ran a story they shouldn't have. It's simple, clean, no conspiracies required, Occam's Razor, etc.

Trump's supporters are in total freak-out mode right now.

They're apparently convinced that the FBI tipped CNN off about the arrest, as if CNN wouldn't have already had a camera crew at Roger Stone's home in anticipation, due to yesterday's Grand Jury indictment.

Wasn't it reported that Roger Stone had been communicating with Guccifer 2.0, which was allegedly affiliated with the GRU? I'm surprised that I haven't seen any mention of those connections.
