So Michael Cohen has admitted lying to Congress about the time line on a potential investment by the Trump Organization in Moscow. It raises all sorts of questions.
1. Is Cohen now telling the truth, or is this plea another lie?
2. If Cohen has been convicted for lying to Congress, will we soon see Andrew McCabe, Jim Comey, Peter Strzok, James Brennan and James Clapper being charged as well. We all remember Clapper stating that the USA was "not wittingly" collecting masses of data on Americans in testimony in to a senate committee. That was a lie. The NSA was collecting the metadata of all phones in the USA and Clapper knew that. Nevertheless, he lied and did not disclose that fact. Nothing ever happened to him as a result.
3. Does Cohen's supposed lie about the timing of the investment in Moscow matter insofar as the claims of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians are concerned? It surely doesn't appear to make any difference at all.
4. Why is Cohen being made to plead again to another charge, especially if it doesn't matter? This is baffling. If Mueller wants to use Cohen as a witness at some point, you would think he wouldn't want the guy to have plead guilty to multiple instances of lying under oath. It tends to discredit anything he says.
