Because the President of the United States committing a felony is newsworthy stuff even if it hasn't been corroborated by other outlets. It was corroborated by Buzzfeed, however. They have two witnesses who say they have documents to prove it. We all know Trump of course told Cohen to lie. That's what he does. I don't know why you're acting like you really care. If he was found guilty of this you'd still support him and blow it off as a nothing burger.

Without making this a right of left argument...Russian Interference has been going on since world war 2. Can we agree on that, and that it will not stop anytime in the future.

In regards to how we attack our President and act, both sides of the aisle, is that alone helping or hurting our country?

Having real evidence is one thing, but blind hatred is another...I hope we can learn from this, I have.

Yes but we don't control the news media the way the left does, unless you want to admit Fox News is mainstream media.

even if it turns out to be completely false? sounds more like libel to me.

And if it turns out that Mueller clears DJT completely, you'd still want him impeached. It's not really about Russian collusion is it? It's the Democrats trying to win what they couldn't win in an election.

Part I bolded. I do think that's part of all of this. I also think we should wait and see what Mueller produces though it's difficult not to get caught up in the releases of information and try as we might to put the pieces together.

We're all human after all.

At least you admit you don't really care what he does, you support him NO MATTER WHAT HE DOES.

And yes, if he is innocent of collusion we already know he is still guilty of violating the emoluments clause. There are a number of issues he could easily be impeached for.

I'm at the airport on my phone so I can't post a link, but Sean Hannity said that even if Trump did order Cohen to lie, that it wouldn't matter because democrats are hypocrites.

It wouldn't matter to him if he committed that felony.
