It seems Mueller authorized Cohen to lie by giving immunity for crimes including "conspiracy to obstruct or commit perjury before congressional investigation".

False Statements to the U.S. Congress
2. On or about January 13, 2017, the U.S. Senate Select
Committee on Intelligence (“SSCI”) announced that it would conduct
an investigation into Russian election interference and possible
links between Russia and individuals associated with political
campaigns. On or about January 25, 2017, the House of
Representatives Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
(“HPSCI”) announced that it also was conducting an investigation
2
into Russian election interference and possible links between
Russia and individuals associated with political campaigns.
3. On or about August 28, 2017, COHEN caused a two-page
letter to be sent on his behalf to SSCI and HPSCI. The letter
addressed his efforts at the Company to pursue a branded property
in Moscow, Russia (the “Moscow Project”). COHEN stated the
purpose of the letter was “to provide the Committee with additional
information regarding the proposal,” referring to the Moscow
Project.
4. In the letter to SSCI and HPSCI, COHEN knowingly and
deliberately made the following false representations:
a. The Moscow Project ended in January 2016 and was not
discussed extensively with others in the Company.
“The proposal was under consideration at the [Company]
from September 2015 until the end of January 2016.
By the end of January 2016, I determined that the
proposal was not feasible for a variety of business
reasons and should not be pursued further. Based on
my business determinations, the [Company] abandoned
the [Moscow Project] proposal. . . . To the best of
my knowledge, [Individual 1] was never in contact with
anyone about this proposal other than me on three
occasions. . . . I did not ask or brief [Individual
3
1], or any of his family, before I made the decision
to terminate further work on the proposal.”
b. COHEN never agreed to travel to Russia in connection
with the Moscow Project and “never considered” asking
Individual 1 to travel for the project. “I primarily
communicated with the Moscow-based development
company . . . through a U.S. citizen third-party
intermediary, [Individual 2]. . . . [Individual 2]
constantly asked me to travel to Moscow as part of
his efforts to push forward the discussion of the
proposal. I ultimately determined that the proposal
was not feasible and never agreed to make a trip to
Russia. . . . Despite overtures by [Individual 2], I
never considered asking [Individual 1] to travel to
Russia in connection with this proposal.”
c. COHEN did not recall any Russian government response
or contact about the Moscow Project. “In mid-January
2016, [Individual 2] suggested that I send an email
to [Russian Official 1], the Press Secretary for the
President of Russia, since the proposal would require
approvals within the Russian government that had not
been issued. Those permissions were never provided.
I decided to abandon the proposal less than two weeks
4
later for business reasons and do not recall any
response to my email, nor any other contacts by me
with [Russian Official 1] or other Russian government
officials about the proposal.”
5. On or about September 19, 2017, COHEN was scheduled to
appear before SSCI accompanied by counsel. In prepared remarks
released to the public, COHEN stated, “I assume we will discuss
the rejected proposal to build a [Company-branded] property in
Moscow that was terminated in January of 2016; which occurred
before the Iowa caucus and months before the very first primary.
This was solely a real estate deal and nothing more. I was doing
my job. I would ask that the two-page statement about the Moscow
proposal that I sent to the Committee in August be incorporated
into and attached to this transcript.”
6. On or about October 25, 2017, COHEN gave testimony to
SSCI, which included testimony about the Moscow Project consistent
with his prepared remarks and his two-page statement.
7. In truth and in fact, and as COHEN well knew, COHEN’s
representations about the Moscow Project he made to SSCI and HPSCI
were false and misleading. COHEN made the false statements to (1)
minimize links between the Moscow Project and Individual 1 and (2)
give the false impression that the Moscow Project ended before
“the Iowa caucus and . . . the very first primary,” in hopes of
5
limiting the ongoing Russia investigations. COHEN attempted to
conceal or minimize through his false statements the following
facts:
a. The Moscow Project was discussed multiple times within
the Company and did not end in January 2016. Instead,
as late as approximately June 2016, COHEN and
Individual 2 discussed efforts to obtain Russian
governmental approval for the Moscow Project. COHEN
discussed the status and progress of the Moscow
Project with Individual 1 on more than the three
occasions COHEN claimed to the Committee, and he
briefed family members of Individual 1 within the
Company about the project.
b. COHEN agreed to travel to Russia in connection with
the Moscow Project and took steps in contemplation of
Individual 1’s possible travel to Russia. COHEN and
Individual 2 discussed on multiple occasions
traveling to Russia to pursue the Moscow Project.
i. COHEN asked Individual 1 about the possibility
of Individual 1 traveling to Russia in
connection with the Moscow Project, and asked a
senior campaign official about potential
business travel to Russia.
6
ii. On or about May 4, 2016, Individual 2 wrote to
COHEN, “I had a chat with Moscow. ASSUMING the
trip does happen the question is before or after
the convention . . . Obviously the pre-meeting
trip (you only) can happen anytime you want but
the 2 big guys where [sic] the question. I
said I would confirm and revert.” COHEN
responded, “My trip before Cleveland.
[Individual 1] once he becomes the nominee after
the convention.”
iii. On or about May 5, 2016, Individual 2 followed
up with COHEN and wrote, “[Russian Official 1]
would like to invite you as his guest to the
St. Petersburg Forum which is Russia’s Davos
it’s June 16-19. He wants to meet there with
you and possibly introduce you to either [the
President of Russia] or [the Prime Minister of
Russia], as they are not sure if 1 or both will
be there. . . . He said anything you want to
discuss including dates and subjects are on the
table to discuss.”
7
iv. On or about May 6, 2016, Individual 2 asked
COHEN to confirm those dates would work for him
to travel. COHEN wrote back, “Works for me.”
v. From on or about June 9 to June 14, 2016,
Individual 2 sent numerous messages to COHEN
about the travel, including forms for COHEN to
complete. However, on or about June 14, 2016,
COHEN met Individual 2 in the lobby of the
Company’s headquarters to inform Individual 2
he would not be traveling at that time.
c. COHEN did recall that in or around January 2016, COHEN
received a response from the office of Russian
Official 1, the Press Secretary for the President of
Russia, and spoke to a member of that office about
the Moscow Project.
i. On or about January 14, 2016, COHEN emailed
Russian Official 1’s office asking for
assistance in connection with the Moscow
Project. On or about January 16, 2016, COHEN
emailed Russian Official 1’s office again, said
he was trying to reach another high-level
Russian official, and asked for someone who
spoke English to contact him.
8
ii. On or about January 20, 2016, COHEN received an
email from the personal assistant to Russian
Official 1 (“Assistant 1”), stating that she
had been trying to reach COHEN and requesting
that he call her using a Moscow-based phone
number she provided.
iii. Shortly after receiving the email, COHEN called
Assistant 1 and spoke to her for approximately
20 minutes. On that call, COHEN described his
position at the Company and outlined the
proposed Moscow Project, including the Russian
development company with which the Company had
partnered. COHEN requested assistance in
moving the project forward, both in securing
land to build the proposed tower and financing
the construction. Assistant 1 asked detailed
questions and took notes, stating that she would
follow up with others in Russia.
iv. The day after COHEN’s call with Assistant 1,
Individual 2 contacted him, asking for a call.
Individual 2 wrote to COHEN, “It’s about [the
President of Russia] they called today.”
Rep. Jim Jordan on Wednesday accused the Democrats of using President Trump’s former fixer Michael Cohen as a “patsy” to get at Mr. Trump. “We just had a five-minute debate where Mr. Cohen disputes what the Southern District of New York found, what the judge found, that he was actually guilty of committing bank fraud,” Jordan said. “If this statement back here doesn’t say it all, ‘Cohen’s consciousness of wrongdoing is fleeting, his remorse is minimal, his instinct to blame others is strong.’ There’s only one thing wrong with that statement. His remorse is nonexistent. He just debated a member of Congress saying I really didn’t do anything wrong with the false bank things that I’m guilty of and going to prison for.”
“Mr. Jordan, that’s not what I said, and you know that’s not what I said,” Cohen responded. “I said that I pled guilty and I take responsibility for my actions.”
“They just want to use you,” the Ohio Republican said to Cohen during a highly-anticipated House Oversight Committee hearing. “You are the patsy today. They want to find someone somewhere to say something so they can remove the president.”
Cohen, once Trump’s loyal attorney and fixer, has turned on his former boss and cooperated with special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation. He begins a three-yearn sentence in May after he pleaded guilty to lying to Congress in 2017 and committing campaign finance violations while he was working for Trump. “This is the first time a convicted perjurer has been brought back to be a star witness,” he said. “This is a first because no one else would do it.”
Cohen would make a good lawyer, or used car salesman.

Yeah, that's not how that went down at all. You gotta take off the tRump-colored glasses and see reality for a change.
Perhaps you need to take the Surrender Monkeys dick out of your mouth and opened your eyes ...you may be able to see again....but I wouldn't bet on it!

Glad I didn't use the drunken sailor analogy.Cohen would make a good lawyer, or used car salesman.
I've sold dozens of used cars and resent the implication we are liars.....many people need a good used car and as long as I told them what to expect from the vehicle in question for the price that was asked, it was good business...liars don't last long (a week or two) in the car business.
Impeachment is not a legal process. It is a political process and normal rules of criminal court do not apply. This why when you will see a bill of impeachment it will contain both violations of federal statues and ethical violations which are often more important than legal ones.My Socialist, Communist, Fascist, Stalinist Progressive USMB friends, if you believe Cohens testimony will get Trump impeached, please put suiside prevention on speed dial
I think the entire deal will be bad Karma for the Democrats. They just can't get enough hatred spewn on President Trump. Today was just rehashed garbage. The only thing new was the embellishments of a compulsive liar. I hate to see the fall of a great party. They once were good Americans. Now, it's elbowing other people out of the way to try to convert a free country into one with communist/socialist tendencies. It doesn't take a village to raise a child. It takes two parents.Today was a circus, and at the end of the day, the best they had on Trump was that
his character lacks. Everybody knew that when he called Ted, "Lying Ted", and Marco, "Little Marco".
The dems got nothing on Trump, but it was a smear campaign under the Big Top during NOKO talks.
