FLASHBACK:

Klobuchar: "A president persuading a person to commit perjury would be obstruction. Is that right?"
Barr: "Yes."

Klobuchar: "You also said that a president — or any person — convincing a witness to change testimony would be obstruction. Is that right?"
Barr: "Yes."

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 think Biden announces he will serve just one term if elected and he picks a Beto or Kamala as a running mate once he wins nomination...

Yeah, would say borderline 2nd depending on what evidence there is surrounding Trump's instructions to Cohen in paying off McDougal and Stormy.

Starting to see a little early pushback focusing (IF IT IS TRUE AND THE LYING, LIBERAL BUZZFEED HAS IT RIGHT) on the fact that Cohen's Trump influenced lies were before Congress, not a grand jury or other Judicial sphere. Which I'm not sure legally if there's a difference in punishment between lying to Congress and lying to a grand jury, but think there is in reality. People lie to Congress, Congress lies, everyone in politics is a liar, etc. therefore it's no surprise Trump told Cohen to lie about something that never even came to fruition anyway! How can you impeach Trump for something everyone does! Eric Holder! It's not a sturdy limb to hold onto, but if you're committed to the play you might grasp for it.
