MAGA: Cohen claims Trump knew in advance of 2016 Trump Tower meeting. Who released this?

Why are those recordings recordings credible but not cohen's?
1) Illegally spying on someone is a crime and violation of the Constitution, whether it is Cohen or the FBI or the CIA doing it.

2) Recordings / testimony can be altered. The US IG reported the FBI, for example, altered witness testimony after the fact.
 
I'm not looking forward to Pence becoming president. If the OP is true and can be confirmed - that is clearly COLLUSION with a hostile foreign power to influence an American election.
For the bazillionth time, COLLUSION IS N-O-T repeat NOT a crime.



And for the bazilyionth time conspiracy is a crime.

Collusion is a crime it goes hand in hand with conspiracy.

Plus taking any benefit from a foreign nation or entity is also illegal.

Not reporting campaign contributions isn't legal either.

Obstructing justice is also a crime.

There's a very long list of crimes that mueller is investigating. I'm sure he will be very thorough with the investigation. Which isn't good for trump and all his criminal cohorts.
 
Has there been any response to this by Trumps team?


So far, what I can see guilani has been on all the talk shows saying that cohen is a liar. That's a few weeks after he said cohen was a man of integrity and not a liar.

trump has sent out a couple tweets about it denying all of it and accusing cohen of saying that to get out of the trouble he's having with other issues.

So the typical response from trump.
 
The Trump Tower meeting was set up in hopes of getting dirt on presidential rival Hillary Clinton from a Russian.

Michael Cohen, the president’s former personal attorney, said Donald Trump knew in advance about a meeting during the 2016 campaign in which Russians were expected to offer negative information about his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, according to a report by CNN.

Citing sources with knowledge of Cohen’s claims, CNN said the attorney is willing to share that information with special counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating Russia’s attempt to influence the 2016 presidential election.

The meeting occurred at Trump Tower in June 2016 with Donald Trump Jr., son-in-law Jared Kushner and then-campaign manager Paul Manafort. They met with a lawyer linked to the Kremlin and a Russian businessman who initially had offered to disclose dirt on Clinton.

Trump has repeatedly denied having any knowledge about the meeting and told The New York Times in July 2017 that he “didn’t know anything” about it.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

I wonder who leaked this story. Cohen side denies leaking it.

The Trump Tower meeting was set up in hopes of getting dirt on presidential rival Hillary Clinton from a Russian.

That's awful!!!

Only Hillary is allowed to get dirt on presidential rivals from Russians, eh comrade?

Trump lied about it, which most will assume was a cover up. Trump will have to resign at this point.

Trump lied about it,

The FBI lied about the dossier Hillary paid for it. I guess we can cancel the Special Counsel.

Nope, the FISA court was told the dossier came from an opposing political party.



They're still trying to peddle that lie?

Wow they need to get new material.

Confirmed what info? Link? The FBI gave the FISA court enough proof to get the warrant.



They got the original warrants and a few renewals before the dossier even existed. The surveillance of page started at least a year before the dossier was even in existence.

I can't believe some still grab for that flimsy straw.

no,

not simply from 'a Russian'

it was:

''getting dirt on presidential rival Hillary Clinton from the Russian GOVERNMENT, as their help to get Donald Trump elected....''

is what the emails to Don Junior SAID.



Exactly.

Which is extremely illegal.

The only legal thing that junior could have and should have done was to run, not walk, to the FBI with the email.
 
From a foreign adversary who feloniously obtained it and distributed it as a part of an intelligence operation designed to sway the election toward Trump.

You losers are hilarious. :laugh2:

The Russian intelligence officers who gave info to Steele weren't foreign adversaries?

No - Steele has Russian connections up the yang. If they gave him info, then they were double agents.

If they gave him info, then they were double agents.

Steele got info from employees of the Russian government?
And Trump Jr didn't get info from an employee of the Russian government?

Sounds serious!

You lack a basic understanding of what is going on here.
There is a big difference between Clinton campaign hiring longtime US asset Steele to collect oppo ..
And your own campaign officials meeting directly with Russian spies who have offered dirt ...
THEN after 82 known meetings - Around a dozen Trump allies then proceeded to LIE about every one of them.
Trump’s Russia Cover-Up By the Numbers – 82+ contacts with Russia-linked operatives - The Moscow Project
It's known as consciousness of guilt
IOW, they knew what they were doing was illegal as hell.
How else to explain Trump dictating a total LIE to Don "Guido" Trump Junior after Trump Tower meeting went public?

If meeting a Russian and getting no dirt is bad, actually getting dirt (even fake dirt) from Russians has to be worse. Even if you hire intermediaries to do it for you.
What “dirt” did Hillary get??

You just described Hillary Clinton, Obama's Conspiracy to help her and take down Trump, AND all the existing evidence that proves it, as we have seen over and over....

But Mueller REFUSES to look at the already proven crimes by Hillary, Obama, and his administration...

Instead, while breaking the law himself, going on 3 years now, Mueller is still fishing for his 1st piece of evidence against the President.

The only thing he is trying to do is build an emotionally-manipulating, circumstantial, manufactured case against the President based on ZERO actual evidence of from the democrats could attempt to justify using to Impeach Trump should they win the House and/or Senate in the midterms.

Evidence or not, crime or not, they are determined to carry out their proven treasonous coup!
 
The Trumpys leaked it same as they did the phone call.
Three reasons:

1. Shiny object to distract from one horrible week after the next
2. Get out in front of the tsunami they know damn well is on its way
3. Take away potential value of the likely Cohen flip

Exactly right. They're trying to set the narrative. Not that it matters in the end as Cohen will still have to testify.

Yep, and in the unlikely event Trump pardons him - he can't take the 5th :)

You can always take the 5th. It's in the Constitution. Duh.

You can't incriminate yourself if you're already pardoned for what you're testifying about, dope.

You can still take the 5th, moron.
You are pitifully uninformed...

Under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, Americans are protected against self-incrimination, but people who have been pardoned are no longer under any legal jeopardy, Harvard Law School Professor Laurence Tribe told TIME.

Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former personal attorney, claims that then-candidate Trump knew in advance about the June 2016 meeting in Trump Tower in which Russians were expected to offer his campaign dirt on Hillary Clinton, sources with knowledge tell CNN. Cohen is willing to make that assertion to special counsel Robert Mueller, the sources said.

:11_2_1043:
The Great Douche lied. IT knew the whole time.
And so what. Hillary paid for information from the Russians so I fail to see the issue here.

-Geaux

Oh No....Not....Not...Not HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't say that....anything but that....not HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not The Dreaded......HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you have no argument left.

When you have nothing but nothing to say.

When you have no real, cogent argument left to make.

HILLARY!!!!! HILLARY!!!!! HILLARY!!!! HILLARY!!!!! HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep - and equating what the DNC did with a trusted US asset Mr Steele did with double agents providing information unfavorable to Russia with campaign members cavorting around conducting 82 separate meetings with known, Putin loyalist Russian spies and then lying about every last one is .. well, GOOFY

But just in case, they all carry an extra in their wallets. :)

Double agents? Wow! Sounds very exciting!!

Where did the FBI go to confirm they were double agents?
Or are we relying on Steele's word that they're double agents? Or your word?

Sounds like hearsay.

All the fake info in the dossier which was then used to get FISA warrants.

Is Todd still clinging to this nonsense after we proved him wrong again and again yesterday morning?
Jesus, some of these Orangelings are painfully under-informed.
If someone gets a presidential pardon then whatever they say CANNOT be used against them because they are immune from prosecution and conviction ..
So obviously the 5th amendment privilege against self incrimination is moot and they MUST testify.
Of course if they lie like dogs under oath, then that's another matter.

Oh Noes!!! MSNBC!!!! roflmao
The source is not MSNBC. It is Nunberg's own mouth.


nobody cares what you fake news loons claim about anything. The claim is just innuendo and has no credible source or evidence. It's fake news, the only kind MSNBC reports.
Tapper: Do you think that — Donald Trump says that — President Trump says he knew nothing about the meeting. Do you think that that’s true?

Nunberg: No.

Tapper: You don’t think that’s true?

Nunberg: No. It doesn’t — and, Jake, I have watched your news reports. You know it’s not true. He talked about it a week before.

Sorry pal...that's not "innuendo". Better go back to the board and get your marching orders ironed out...

They are madly scouring Breitbart, Hannity, TownHall, PJmedia, Infowars, and of course - RT for marching orders, and will get back to us. :lol:
Such support from Breitbart might be a little hard to come by...

Derp - If they are in Russia and providing information not favorable to Putin or his candidate of choice Trump, then they are obviously double agents.
 
Don Jr. swore under oath that he never told his father before the meeting. Don Sr. said he was never told in advance.

If that is proven to be a lie…that’s the ballgame.
the president was not under oath when he told the lie, he was simply lying to the public.... don junior was before Congress.... junior is toast, but that is not criminal for the Don.....other than breaking campaign laws on working with foreign governments and getting their help in an election..... I think?

And piss poor judgement...

Trump mentioned at a rally right before the trump tower meeting with the Russian operatives, that he was going to have dirt on Hillary on Monday....or something like that, but he never gave this dirt, the following week as he promised?



Obstruction of justice is also a crime.

Which that letter trump wrote on AF one was nothing but a lie about what that meeting was about so that's obstructing justice.
 
Trump lied about it,

The FBI lied about the dossier Hillary paid for it. I guess we can cancel the Special Counsel.

it takes 5 to 10 years for the average counter intelligence investigation to be completed before the investigation ends and charges are brought.... it isn't a video game that ends in 30 minutes.

Russia was listening...

Trump Invited the Russians to Hack Clinton. Were They Listening?

The same day that Donald J. Trump asked Russians for help in hacking Hillary Clinton's emails, Russia began efforts to target her personal servers.
