5. More importantly

Nov 2018

Cohen told congress that all efforts to pursue building a Trump property in Russia ended well before the Iowa caucuses. But now Cohen says that efforts continued through 2016 and into 2017. Depending on the date, that would mean pursuing the property AFTER Trump was swown in, in Jan 2017.

That would mean violating the emoluments clause.

It also probably means violating campaign rules about reporting. Not certain about this one.

But more importantly, it shows a complete lack of integrity and lying to voters.
