WHEN DEMOCRATS ARE EXPECTED

OF THE DELETION OF DONALD TRUMP

More than a year and a half after the start of Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller's investigation into suspicions of collusion between the US President's campaign team and Russia, a new revelation from ex-trusted man Michael Cohen Donald Trump is the stuff of democrats.

The billionaire would have asked his lawyer at the time to lie under oath about an aborted Trump Tower project in Moscow. Michael Cohen has indeed lied on the timeline of the project of the 100-story building.

Mr. Cohen assured the elected officials that talks with Russian officials ended in January 2016, while they continued until at least June, when Donald Trump was about to win the Republican primary. Why this lie?

To minimize the links between the two countries.

That the real estate mogul was in business was not illegal in itself, but that he asked to lie is a crime.

A lie that could therefore cost him, according to his political enemies because it would be an attempt to hinder the investigation and subordination of a witness.

"If the president ordered Cohen to lie to Congress, it's obstruction of justice. Point bar, "responded the elected Democrat David Cicillin.

The Democrats were quick late Thursday night to go for their small comments reminding including that the same crimes had earned Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton the launch of a removal procedure.

"Oh, for information, the first head of Richard Nixon's impeachment procedure was obstruction of justice," tweeted Democratic Representative Ted Lieu.

"Look, if Mueller has several allegations that Trump has asked Cohen to lie to Congress, we need to be informed as soon as possible," Senator Chris Murphy added on Twitter.

For Adam Schiff, who now chairs the House Intelligence Committee, if the allegations are true, Donald Trump was guilty of "witness tampering".

A crime punishable by five years of imprisonment in the US Penal Code and that Congress could especially consider a "major crime" justifying impeachment.

An impeachment however unlikely. Indeed, if the House of Representatives, with a Democratic majority since early January, can launch the procedure of accusation, it is the Senate to make a judgment.

But its elected representatives are in the majority Republicans ...

The public testimony of Michael Cohen, already sentenced to 3 years in prison, before the Congress on February 7, is eagerly awaited by the Democrats.
