Yesterday, after a BuzzFeed article was released, falsely claiming President Trump directed his disgraced former lawyer, Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about his dealings with the Moscow Trump Tower deal, the left, including elected officials who sit in some of the highest offices in our nation, came completely unhinged. The Democrat Party and their allies in the mainstream media were apoplectic over the prospect of finally catching President Trump in the act of Russian collusion.
MSNBC tweeted a discussion they had with Buzzfeed writer Jason Leopold, the author of the article that claimed President Trump told his former attorney Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about the Moscow Tower deal. In an unprecedented move, special counsel Robert Mueller’s office came out with a statement yesterday, calling the BuzzFeed article fake news.
BuzzFeed’s Jason Leopold spent much of his MSNBC interview convincing the host that his story was true.
Well, we all know how that turned out.
Listen here:

Several top Democrat lawmakers capitalized on the unfounded BuzzFeed story and used it as a way to threaten President Trump on Twitter.
Here are just a few of the more incredible tweets by top Democrat lawmakers:
The unhinged Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer tweeted about the importance of keeping the Special Counsel’s investigation “moving forward unimpeded” following the allegations made by Buzzfeed. Schumer took the opportunity to warn AG nominee Barr to not interfere in Mueller’s investigation and to make the whole Special Counsel report public.
Allegations like Buzzfeed’s make it all the more important the Special Counsel’s investigation go forward unimpeded. AG Nominee Barr must be far more explicit & unequivocal about not interfering in the investigation and pledge to make the whole Special Counsel’s report public.

One of the dumbest women serving in our United States Congress, Rep Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) tweeted about the fake news BuzzFeed story, stating the unfounded claims by disgraced journalists, Jason Leopold, and Anthony Cormier, as though they were indisputable facts.
Incredible. @realDonaldTrump suborned #perjury so that @MichaelCohen212 would lie to #Congress and obstruct its investigation into whether a hostile foreign power subverted our democracy-oh, and his campaign may have colluded, too #trumprussia #Collusion

Democrat Congressman Ted Lieu of California, who behaves like the bad dog that refuses to stop biting at Trump’s ankles, tweeted about the fake news BuzzFeed “bombshell story.” The only problem is that his tweet leads his followers to believe the BuzzFeed piece is factual, even though the authors provided no serious evidence that it was in fact, a true story.
Lieu called Trump’s alleged behavior, “OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE.”
Another bombshell story. @realDonaldTrump directed Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about negotiations to build a Trump Tower in Moscow.
THIS IS OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE. https://t.co/pdVZ5dsFkc

Democrat Representative Adam Schiff suggested that President Trump may have committed perjury before the House Intelligence Committee, as a way to curtail the investigation and cover-up his business dealings with Russia. The high-ranking Democrat suggested that this is the most serious issue to date. Finally, after condemning President Trump and accusing him of perjury, Schiff notes that they’ll do what’s necessary to find out if it’s true.

Political commentator, Nick Short blasted Democrat Representative Adam Schiff‘s irresponsible press release threatening President Trump. Short asked Congressman Schiff if he was going to update his official letter regarding the unfounded story about Trump and Russian collusion that turned out to be fake news?
In his press release, Representative Schiff warns that the House Judiciary Committee is already working to secure additional witness testimony and documents related to the Trump Tower deal in Moscow.
Are you getting a little ahead of yourself Rep. Schiff?
Uhh, you gonna update this @RepAdamSchiff? pic.twitter.com/RZTmiNz72B

Democrat Representative John Yarmouth( KY), Chairman of the House Budget Committee suggested that if the offense BuzzFeed accuses Trump of committing is true, that it is an impeachable offense, and Congress should, without any further evidence, begin the impeachment proceedings.
If true, which it appears to be, the @BuzzFeedNews report that Trump suborned perjury is an impeachable offense, and the House should begin the process.

This morning, Democrat Representative Nadler, a member of the House Judiciary Committee tweeted a warning to President Trump about the consequences of direction a subordinate to lie to Congress, reminding him that it’s a federal crime:
We know that the President has engaged in a long pattern of obstruction. Directing a subordinate to lie to Congress is a federal crime. The @HouseJudiciary Committee’s job is to get to the bottom of it, and we will do that work.

The loudmouth, anti-Semite, Freshman Congresswoman, Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), who threatened to impeach Trump (or as she likes to call him, the “motherf**ker”), threw her two cents worth in. Tlaib even confirmed that the lie BuzzFeed told was “like I said.”
Yeah, like I said…https://t.co/LZZCykdTSC via @jasonleopold

Democrat Senator Jeff Merkley of Oregon tweeted that if this report of Trump pushing Cohen to lie to Congress is true that he committed a felony and must resign or be impeached.
So far, there are no new tweets or updates to his tweet from this morning.
If this report of Trump suborning false testimony is confirmed, then Trump committed a felony and must resign or be impeached.
