I'm not concerned about the Buzzfeed story being fabricated

that just doesn't seem like something that would happen, too many people would have to be in on it.

I think the real risk is that it's a deliberate setup, that they think suborning perjury is the strongest thing against them and now they can say "that was debunked!" because they gave Buzzfeed a deliberately flawed story.

It reminds me of Bush AWOL. Which he definitely was. But the Rather story ended the whole thing.

But Trump didn’t have to repeatedly tell him to do it because like a good henchman, Cohen already knew what was expected of him. They’d already established years ago that he would lie, obstruct, cheat and steal for boss Trump.

This is a long and complicated story of criminal activity. One possible reporting misstep shouldn’t distract from the larger picture. Let’s not get distracted from the core of Trump’s multitude of crimes. He’s dirty.
