Impeachment proceedings against Trump

What about the part that the Steele Dossier wasn't used as the basis for starting the investigation into the Trump campaign?

Cohen claims Trump knew in advance of 2016 Trump Tower meeting

Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former personal attorney, claims that then-candidate Trump knew in advance about the June 2016 meeting in Trump Tower in which Russians were expected to offer his campaign dirt on Hillary Clinton, sources with knowledge tell CNN. Cohen is willing to make that assertion to special counsel Robert Mueller, the sources said.

Cohen's claim would contradict repeated denials by Trump, Donald Trump Jr., their lawyers and other administration officials who have said that the President knew nothing about the Trump Tower meeting until he was approached about it by The New York Times in July 2017.

Cohen alleges that he was present, along with several others, when Trump was informed of the Russians' offer by Trump Jr. By Cohen's account, Trump approved going ahead with the meeting with the Russians, according to sources.

If Cohen flips, and testifies that Trump lied about the Trump Tower meeting with the Russians, and/or all the other evidence they pulled from his residence shows illegal activities (e.g. paying off women with whom he had affairs with campaign funds for example), Trump is finished.

Exclusive: Donald Trump Called into a Trump Tower Russian Spy Meeting

July 15, 2017

Sources with links to the intelligence community and the justice department report that Donald Trump himself is on tape calling in to a meeting at Trump Tower, where collusion with Russians was discussed.

Sources could not confirm, however, that the meeting where collusion in the election was discussed was the one at which his son, Donald J Trump Jr, recently admitted to conspiring with Russians to hack the election.

They pointed out that there was more than one meeting at Trump Tower where attacking the integrity of the US election was discussed by Trump campaign officials and representatives of the Russian government.

The source of the recording of Mr. Trump was his campaign chairman Paul Manafort, Mr. Trump’s campaign chairman. His phone had been legally hacked by the United States intelligence community under an SS7 exploit and turned into a ‘hot mike’ where he was, unbeknownst to him, recording all those with whom he was speaking.

Mueller Has Evidence Trump Obstructed Justice
July 31, 2018 at 1:17 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard

Murray Waas: “Previously undisclosed evidence in the possession of Special Counsel Robert Mueller — including highly confidential White House records and testimony by some of President Trump’s own top aides — provides some of the strongest evidence to date implicating the president of the United States in an obstruction of justice.”

“Several people who have reviewed a portion of this evidence say that, based on what they know, they believe it is now all but inevitable that the special counsel will complete a confidential report presenting evidence that President Trump violated the law."

Special counsel Mueller wants to ask Trump about obstruction of justice: Sources

Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office wants to ask President Donald Trump about obstruction of justice, sources close to the White House tell ABC News. According to sources, the president learned within the last day that the special counsel will limit the scope of questioning and would like to ask questions both orally and written for the President to respond to.

*Note: those are White House sources so take that with a huge grain of salt. No comment by Special Counsel when asked about this.

If Trump knew about the June 9 meeting, this is the chronology:

The Russians offered Trump help

Trump approved getting Russian help

The Russians delivered help

Trump dictated a false statement about the true purpose of the meeting

Trump covered up his own role

The evolution of Trump on Russia:

No meetings with any Russians.

Ok, lots of low level meetings.

Ok, high level meetings too, but about adoptions.

Ok, not about adoptions, but Trump didn’t know.

Ok, maybe he did, but no crime.

Next?

Ok, it’s a crime. Pardons for everyone!

When someone keeps moving the goal posts and changing their story, protesting and bleating about an investigation being "unfair", and been caught lying (Mueller has no conflict of interest, and this investigation isn't being run by "17 angry Democrats"), they have something to hide and are not to be trusted.

So, what's your dealbreaker to stop supporting this president?
