You seem to be under the impression that “directed” means the Trump specifically told Cohen to do it. Cohen explains in his testimony that it was not specifically directed, but more expected. This is kind of splitting hairs.

It’s absolutely not splitting hairs. The former scenario (trump directed him), if proven through docs, is admissable in court. The latter (“I thought that’s what he wanted) would not pass as evidence by a judge.

You're missing a shit-ton of context here. This seems willfully cherry-picked to distort Cohen's FULL statements on the issue.

Amazing, It is exactly like a doomsday cult. Their predicted expiration date on existence has passed. What now? Their prediction was vindicated because it didn’t come true.

They WANT it to be true, they NEED it to be true so they continue to try to MAKE it true. Won’t work.

It's truly shocking. I had to double-check myself. From emptywheel-world to Buzzfeed's Jason Leopold himself--they all claim the original reporting has been vindicated and nobody seems to understand why Mueller pushed back against it. I despair for sanity in this country.

You can convey your desire for someone to lie for you without coming directly out and saying “lie for me this way about this thing” That’s the crux of conspiracies and the way a boss controls and directs his underlings. Plausible deniability all the way.

paid to lie. News actors. It ain't bias. That was 20 yrs ago before Clinton deep stated us to 6 news organizations (after screwing the country with NAFTA and doing 'victory laps') There are no coincidences.

Ben Smith seriously thinks he's somehow vindicated. It's simultaneously both cute and also sad to behold.

This is no different than a criminal claiming the voices in their head made them do it. This may also be the first time an insanity defense has been applied in a perjury case.
