were direct denials. mr. delaney, bring us up to date here. how could this disclosure that the president did in fact order michael cohen to lie to congress. how could that impact bob mueller s investigation? what might that mean for cohen s testimony before congress, which if i m not mistaken is going to happen the first week in february? well, i m told he s not going to be able to address this question before congress. he s been warned off dealing with anything that s a matter of pending investigation. but look in a sense this is separate from the question of russia conspiracy. if this story is true, it means that donald trump as president suborned perjury and orchestrated a scheme to lie to a co-equal branch of government. that s considered an impeachable offense. that s why you re seeing democrats saying if the stroorys true we must begin impeachment
washington post and also danny cevallos. again, you know, not to belabor the point, but i think it bears repeating. if the president did in fact order michael cohen to lie to congress, is that obstruction of justice? it may be a crime. the way we get to that is we work backwards from what we know. what we know is michael cohen did plead guilty to a number of crimes. one of them was false statements, which is not perjury. it s a separate crime for the statements that he gave to congress. because they were not under oath. so working backwards from that, if president trump directed that activity that constituted the crime that may fall under a number of different criminal statutes. one would be conspiracy, for example, to commit that crime of lying to congress. the other might be the aiding and abetting statute. anyone who persuades someone to commit a federal crime is liable as if they had committed that crime him or herself.
