From listing all the applicable federal laws that may have been violated to ridiculing Trump’s political future, Twitter lit up over the revelations.

Raise your hands if you've heard this in the past 2 years: this latest bombshell is it for Trump, this changes everything, there's no going back, he can't recover, Republicans will abandon him, he's reached the bottom.

Right? It will get bottomer. Have faith.

If the @BuzzFeed story is true, President Trump must resign or be impeached.

Pretty much the last chance for the GOP to decide whether it's an actual party or a nihilistic personality cult. I fear we've long known the answer. https://t.co/7dRrW02Hym

I see your 18 U.S.C. § 2(a), and raise you 18 U.S.C. § 1622:

“Whoever procures another to commit any perjury is guilty of subornation of perjury, and shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.”https://t.co/44GxvERgVx https://t.co/PyjFR3Y7zE

What’s that thing when it’s the crime AND the coverup? https://t.co/JAxDpQLcwB

Don’t expect an awkward, Nixon-style goodbye. He’s going to make you think Watergate was a cakewalk.

Trump's only hope now is that the BuzzFeed story is wrong

This is a very important report. IF IT IS TRUE, this is evidence remarkably similar to evidence used to build the impeachment counts against Clinton and Nixon. Both Clinton and Nixon encouraged witnesses to make false statements under oath: https://t.co/FCDRrUhJYk pic.twitter.com/Q4Yu7QPtWC

Gotta think this would be bad for Trump if literally anything mattered https://t.co/TSu6rKAWvO

"If a President…suborns perjury, or induces a witness to change testimony, or commits any act deliberately impairing the integrity of available evidence, then he, like anyone else, commits the crime of obstruction." — William Barr https://t.co/LziXcdoaTQ

If this is true, it seems like a pretty straightforward crime. And then the only question left would be whether this is still a nation of laws.

Important fact in article: SCO "learned about Trump’s directive for Cohen to lie to Congress through interviews with multiple witnesses from the TO & internal company emails, text messages, & a cache of other documents." This isn't just based on Cohen, they have the goods. https://t.co/3iT7u78JFw

Big breaking news. About to talk about it on @cnn with @donlemon. Ordering someone to lie to Congress is a felony. https://t.co/HnOKdw3DlW

If I were Trump, Ivanka or Don Jr, this would make my blood run cold:

"The special counsel’s office learned about Trump’s directive for Cohen to lie to Congress through…internal company emails, text messages, and a cache of other documents."

Why is Trump still in office?

So let me get this straight. The president of the United States suborned perjured testimony before the United States Congress. When do impeachment proceedings begin? This is the last straw. Trump needs to be gone yesterday. The man is a menace to the Republic. Enough dammit!

I mean everything feels like a bombshell and we are all numb but I’m pretty sure if this story is true it’s – I’m going to be careful with my words here – something that congress must investigate thoroughly.

At this point, Giuliani’s credibility is even lower than Cohen’s. https://t.co/tgppFXmQsS

This sounds like conspiracy to commit/suborning perjury. And of course, there are others in Trump’s orbit who testified as well. There could be a lot more shoes dropping here.

William Barr said the president coaching a witness to give false testimony or to conceal evidence would be obstruction of justice.

According to @BuzzFeedNews, Trump directed Cohen to give false testimony to Congress about the Trump Tower Moscow project: https://t.co/BQcHjYyasM pic.twitter.com/iF7anKgREd
