I just read the statement from the Special Prosecutor regarding Buzzfeed’s report that Mr. Cohen was ordered by Trump to lie to Congress. According to Buzzfeed their reporting is correct. According to the Special Council the report is not exactly accurate.

It gets kind of interesting about the Special Council’s report long about now, if it is concluding the fact finding and investigation. It is my estimation the focus of the Special Council is not about Trump exactly, but, about the presidency under pressure from a foreign power during an election. This isn’t so much about the corrupt, but, more the corruption. I am not saying there was no one breaking the law. But, to the Special Council the lawbreakers are almost secondary to the fateful flaw ruining the election and threatening the USA Constitution and the country.

I think of the very distinguished Robert Mueller as a person more interested in the truth to find where and how a foreign power infiltrated the election process in the USA to effect a result it would benefit from.

I believe Robert Mueller is assuming everyone is innocent of wrong doing until it becomes obvious Americans involved with a political campaign drank the Russian Koolaid and committed crimes. If one counts the charges brought by the Special Council there is one that frequently repeats itself; namely lying to the FBI/Special Council/Congress.

Robert Mueller wants to bulletproof the American election process over and above law breaking. If one remembers the original team it included every possible; and of course you will excuse the graphic language that is mine and not theirs; orifice Russia could fuck with.

So, as to Michael Cohen, who obviously lied to any number of people including the Special Council, the US Attorney of the Southern District of New York, and Congress; he was Trump’s well paid personal attorney that fixed everything. He was acting to protect Trump. Michael Cohen is a well educated adult able to discern right and wrong. He was not a lifeless puppet ready to spring into action at Trump’s command.

Michael Cohen knew Trump well enough to act to protect him. As we have seen with Karen McDougal and Stefanie Clifford, arrangements were clearly articulated to Trump with very little to no conversation between the two men. It was business as usual for Michael Cohen. So with dedication to the truth and the rule of law,  the Special Council does not exactly view Michael Cohen as a servant with exact orders so much as a man with legal capacity willing to take risks with his license in exchange for large amounts of money.

If Cohen acted on Trump’s behalf by lying there was nothing so concrete such as a tapped conversation or hand written note or signature to link Trump to that act. So, it was an unsubstantiated THOUGHT by Michael Cohen, as Giuliani would say. You know, “The truth is not the truth.”

So, while Buzzfeed’s reporting may be accurate from a reporting point of view, it may not be substantiated legally to make that statement from the Special Council’s point of view to equate to a violation of the law.

I am sure that is probably clear as mud, but, that is Giuliani, the power player who created the definition of SLICK.
