#1 This really, really stinks. But now that it’s out, and I read that there is a book manuscript floating out there by Mr. Cohen saying wonderful things about President Trump, completely contradicting the nasty things he said under duress, the situation becomes much more interesting for all involved.

#2 Grain of Salt

Unfortunately, I find this explanation entirely believable. I know of too many prosecutors who bring up matters unrelated to a case in order to coerce a witness to provide false evidence in a case.

This happens with both Republican and Democratic prosecutors - especially if the lawyer thinks their career will be enhanced with this case.

God help you if the prosecutor loses the case and God help you if you can't give them what they want (because you're innocent).

Back in the Whitewater affair one of the small fry wanted to plead innocent to the charges against him. His lawyer told him: "You don't have enough money to be innocent." He meant the prosecution had an unlimited budget and could grind him and his assets into dust. Remember this when you read about these political charges.

#3 Then Cohen had his opportunity to explain that in front of America. He is a POS.

#4 I wonder what the story is with Gen. Michael Flynn? What was Mueller threatening him with?
