"There was somebody else in the room"?

Trump and Guiliani are trying to clean up the mess in Trump Tower.

Michael Cohen says there were others in the room when the "Russian meeting" was being discussed with Donald Trump. He knew. He has been lying all along.

Why all the panic? Does Mueller have the same evidence from another "person in the room'? Rudy and the trump seem to think so?

The lies that they are now creating are cannibalizing themselves. They make no sense? They know that Cohen's charge can be corroborated.

And it is scaring the hell out of them.

Someone else confirmed to Mueller’s team that Trump knew about the conspiracy plans. And that person explained Cohen was there as well. That’s when prosecutors went after Cohen with everything they had. They needed leverage to get the truth out of him. He’s not the first witness. He may not even be the second witness.

and standing in the back of the room against the wood paneling. Heh heh.
He was there, just 15 feet away upstairs, on the open confeence call. At the very least. If not sitting right there.

Check Josh Marshall on TPM. He says Rudy admitted there was a planning meeting two days before the Trump tower meeting. This could be a big admission.
