"Michael Cohen's Lawyer On How Cohen Will Expose Trump To Congress | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC"

Published on Jan 18, 2019

The Special Counsel's Office has disputed parts of a BuzzFeed report that claimed Trump ordered Michael Cohen to lie to Congress but what part? Mimi
Rocah says that should reassure the American public that Mueller is on the path to find the truth. Lawrence also discusses with Joy Reid and Ken Dilanian.

Lawrence szys: "'if true',...that's the phrase that we always use when discussing stories that
aren't yet proven to be true.", and that the Buzzfeed story puts real pressure on Mueller's team.

Most, if not all of the media reports that I watched inserted the caveat “if it’s true” before reporting it.

Ronan Farrow says he declined to run ‘with parts' of BuzzFeed’s story

After the special counsel’s office called out the accuracy of BuzzFeed’s report Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Ronan
Farrow shared on Twitter that he has a source that repeatedly disputed the idea that Trump issued direct orders to Cohen.

Ronan Farrow
@RonanFarrow

I can’t speak to Buzzfeed’s sourcing, but, for what it’s worth, I
declined to run with parts of the narrative they conveyed based
on a source central to the story repeatedly disputing the idea
that Trump directly issued orders of that kind.

Replying to @RonanFarrow

Note that the general thrust of Cohen lying to Congress “in accordance with” or “to
support and advance” Trump’s agenda (per Cohen’s legal memo) is not in dispute.
The source disputed the further, more specific idea that Trump issued—and
memorialized—repeated direct instructions.

How Democrats are responding to the BuzzFeed report that Trump told Cohen to lie to Congress
“If the President directed Cohen to lie to Congress, that is obstruction of justice. Period. Full stop.”

@tedlieu
Based on the Buzzfeed report and numerous other articles
showing @realDonaldTrump committed Obstruction of Justice
and other possible felonies, it is time for the House Judiciary
Committee to start holding hearings to establish a record of
whether @POTUS committed high crimes.

Lawrence: Rudy Giuliani Gives ‘Incoherent’ Defense Of President Donald Trump | The Last Word | MSNBC

MSNBC
Published on Jul 30, 2018

Rudy Giuliani and President Trump are the only members of team Trump defending the president and, according to Lawrence,
their bizarre denials in the Russia investigation show that they don't have a strong defense for the president's actions.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXecUpD9zqM

Suggestion is that IF there was a good evidence-based defense of Trump's involvement, or not, in the whole affair then Trump and
Giuliani's public defense would not be as incoherent as it is. And that Giuliani would do a better job at it if he kept his mouth shut.

That video is fairly dated yet the comments today are as relevant as they were back then.
