Who's lying? Trump or Cohen?

FACEBOOK USA TODAY OPINION

Shortly after President Donald Trump’s ex-lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about a Trump real estate deal in Russia, Trump said Cohen is “lying” to get a reduced sentence.

You see when you lie so much it all comes back to you. Trump has made it almost impossible not to believe Cohen this time! I know there are people out there who will believe anything Trump says, but this time it would have been a lot easier if he and Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders didn't lie so much over the past two years.

What happened to the lawyer/client oath Cohen took? Guess the Democrats offered Cohen a good deal to say whatever they wanted him to say. If Cohen went against the oath he swore to, then we can guess he can lie about anything.

Lawyers and politicians feed from the same trough. Maybe Cohen and

Trump will be bunk buddies.

Special counsel Robert Mueller is now an out of control, power hungry rogue prosecutor kicking in doors in the middle of the night trying his best to trap Trump so he can be the ruling class' hero at his elitist cocktail parties. Sad.

John James

All of this happened right after Trump submitted his answers to Mueller's questions. Maybe, just maybe, one of those questions asked about the timing of Trump's tower negotiations with Russia. What if Trump lied about the dates in one of those answers?

Still no proof collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia! All this ordeal has proved is that Cohen is a liar and maybe the special counsel found some unrelated dirt on him that he cannot risk coming out. Stanley Baker
