About that majority report...

. . . or ruin your life .

Well, according to Donald Trump today, they were pursuing a deal in Russia during the campaign. Apparently, it wasn't a big deal and totally legal.

If it was totally cool and legal why did Cohen lie about it? Why did Trump repeatedly lie about it in public and on camera?

If Trump is telling the truth now, why did they spend the last 2 years lying about it?

If it is legal what has Mueller been investigating for over 2 years . Obama and the Injustice department had Trump under illegal surveillance since 2016 , Don't they know everything already ?

According to the mandate from the DoJ, Mueller is to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 election and I am going to quote "and any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation."
Meaning anything illegal he finds as a result of the investigation is fair game.

Now to your broader question:

It is certainly legal to have your business conduct affairs with Russians.

It is NOT legal to lie about it.
It's not legal to have your lawyer lie about it.
It's not legal to have your lawyer lie to Congress about it.

The first article in the Articles of Impeachment against Richard Nixon were for making false statements in public. So, lying for 2 years repeatedly is enough to remove Trump from office.

You forgot to mention Clinton.

Naah, you didn't forget.

.

And, yes, a President can be impeached for lying to the people in a public statement and for having your lawyer lie for you in front of Congress or under oath.
- Here are the relevant sections of the Articles of Impeachment for Nixon and Clinton.

Article 1:
Section 1: making false or misleading statements to lawfully authorized investigative officers and employees of the United States;

Section 3: approving, condoning, acquiescing in, and counselling witnesses with respect to the giving of false or misleading statements to lawfully authorized investigative officers and employees of the United States and false or misleading testimony in duly instituted judicial and congressional proceedings;

Section 8: making or causing to be made false or misleading public statements for the purpose of deceiving the people of the United States

Of course, for Clinton Article 3 covers the "letting your lawyer lie for you."

5) On January 17, 1998, at his deposition in a Federal civil rights action brought against him, William Jefferson Clinton corruptly allowed his attorney to make false and misleading statements to a Federal judge characterizing an affidavit, in order to prevent questioning deemed relevant by the judge. Such false and misleading statements were subsequently acknowledged by his attorney in a communication to that judge.

You didn't read section 8, did you? And he did lie. Here's a set of clips of him lying to us on camera. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3j1I8af50sc

Once again, Timber, we see that you have a predetermined belief and reject all facts and reality that easily disprove that belief.

Mueller was named "Special Counsel" because Trump spoiled the plans of the 3 Scamigos . The plan was for Trump to fire Comey and Mueller would apply for the job , but Trump wouldn't hire him and then the scammers had a hissy fit . Mueller appointment as "Special Counsel" is , in fact , Unconstitutional for a number of reasons . #witchhunt

Cohen's lie was saying the deal ended in January when it ended in July. During the Congressional testimony they kept going back and forth about two different deals. Not saying Cohen isn't a liar, but confusion would make for a great appeal.
