Democrats' Two Different Approaches to Subornation of Perjury

Post 47

The Democrats' response to the BuzzFeed report that President Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, told investigators for Special Counsel Robert Mueller that Trump had directed him to lie to Congress about building a skyscraper in Moscow while Trump was running for president is evidence that the President is held to a different standard than other elected officials. The BuzzFeed report cites two unnamed law enforcement sources that claims Trump's direction to Cohen to lie was found in emails, witness statements, text messages and other documents. However, none of this evidence was seen by BuzzFeed reporters. Democrats were quick to pounce on BuzzFeed's report and stated that investigations would be forthcoming in order to verify if Trump told Cohen to lie to Congress. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler said he would look into the matter. Nadler said that directing a subordinate to lie to Congress is a federal crime.
Democrat Adam Schiff, Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said that the allegation that Trump directed Cohen to lie under oath is one of the most serious to date. Schiff went on to state that Democrats would do whatever is necessary to find out the truth. Telling someone to lie under oath is a crime known as subornation of perjury, and it also raises questions as to conspiracy and obstruction of justice. Adam Schiff and the Democrats' quick response to call for an investigation of the President for subornation of perjury and possible obstruction of justice based on the uncorroborated claims in the BuzzFeed report is jumping the gun. It differs dramatically from the lack of a response to letters I sent to Democratic lawmakers alleging that San Jose city officials and federal court officials committed several public corruption crimes during the litigation of two lawsuits I filed against the City of San Jose. Two of the crimes I allege are subornation of perjury and obstruction of justice, the same crimes the President is alleged to have committed. Democrats' quick response to the BuzzFeed report calling for an investigation of the President for suborning perjury and obstruction of justice, while at the same time covering up the same crimes committed by San Jose city officials and the courts, suggests that any investigation of the President is politically motivated. It should be noted that the BuzzFeed report has been discredited by the Special Counsel's office. Details of my allegations against San Jose city officials and the courts can be found in my prior posts and my group facebook page at:
