Trump accuses Michael Cohen of lying about Trump Tower meeting
Source: Axios
President Trump unleashed a series of tweets Friday morning, accusing his former lawyer Michael Cohen of lying "in order to get himself out of an unrelated jam" and denying that he had any knowledge of Don Jrs 2016 meeting with a Russian lawyer.
"I did NOT know of the meeting with my son, Don jr. Sounds to me like someone is trying to make up stories in order to get himself out of an unrelated jam (Taxi cabs maybe?). He even retained Bill and Crooked Hillarys lawyer. Gee, I wonder if they helped him make the choice!"

It's coming.
We are already at the "Who you gonna believe, me or yer lyin' eyes/ears?" stage with the Trump cult. It's only going to get worse.
It's probably time for people who want to survive this to start looking for exit options. The cult is millions deep and itching for the word to start violence. They're going to murder people in large numbers.

(889 posts)Trump didnt conspire with the Russians, the Democrats did. The accusation that Trump knew about the Trump Tower meeting beforehand is not only false news, but also comes from Hillary Clinton!
So, the same old song: it wasnt me, I didnt do it, it was Hillary Clinton!
Wow. Just...wow.

(26,298 posts)If evidence is found that proves he did though then our guys should push for impeachment.
Granted the Repugnants are likely to block such an attempt and if it should come to a vote they will do a sham vote so it fails to reach the required number to remove him but either way its a win for us because we can and should slam them for it before every election for the next 20+ years.

(7,142 posts)Correct me if I'm wrong, but Jr. telling Sr. about the Russian meeting happened in a separate meeting.
I believe Hope Hicks was also in this meeting and she has already testified to Mueller. Did she lie or tell the truth?

Accusations began flying that the botched response made an already bad situation worse. Ms. Hicks called Mr. Corallo, according to three people who relayed his version of events to The Times. She accused him of trafficking in conspiracy theories and drawing more attention to the story. The conference call with the president, Mr. Corallo and Ms. Hicks took place the next morning, and what transpired on the call is a matter of dispute.
In Mr. Corallos account which he provided contemporaneously to three colleagues who later gave it to The Times he told both Mr. Trump and Ms. Hicks that the statement drafted aboard Air Force One would backfire because documents would eventually surface showing that the meeting had been set up for the Trump campaign to get political dirt about Mrs. Clinton from the Russians.
According to his account, Ms. Hicks responded that the emails will never get out because only a few people had access to them. Mr. Corallo, who worked as a Justice Department spokesman during the George W. Bush administration, told colleagues he was alarmed not only by what Ms. Hicks had said either she was being naïve or was suggesting that the emails could be withheld from investigators but also that she had said it in front of the president without a lawyer on the phone and that the conversation could not be protected by attorney-client privilege.

In the days that followed the Air Force One statement, The Times revealed that the true purpose of the June 2016 meeting was to obtain damaging information about Mrs. Clinton, which was being offered as part of Russia and its governments support for Mr. Trump. The younger Mr. Trump ultimately released the emails after being told The Times was about to publish them. Within weeks, Mr. Mueller sent out grand jury subpoenas for documents and interviews about the June 2016 meeting.
