And later pleaded guilty do having done so ... we've also learned he paid off Porn Stars and Bunny's at his bosses direction in other criminal cases.

Has anyone ever thought, for one second, that Cohen made the decision to commit this crime of lying to Congress ... of his own accord? WHY would he have done that?

The very notion that the truth of who ordered this lying should be logically questioned at this point ... SMDH ...

Anyways I guess Holder has to be 'diplomatic' to some degree ... and I do hope for a bit more solid evidence than "Buzzfeed says", gotta admit ...

The special counsel’s office learned about Trump’s directive for Cohen to lie to Congress through interviews with multiple witnesses from the Trump Organization and internal company emails, text messages, and a cache of other documents. Cohen then acknowledged those instructions during his interviews with that office.

I'm really getting tired of our side coming out with statements to the effect of "Now it's serious!", which serve only to implicitly discredit all the criticism that came before. Trump has been guilty of impeachable offenses at least since the corrupt firing of Comey. The appropriate thing to say is, "If true, this is yet another impeachable crime and it makes the need for impeachment hearings all the more urgent."
