“Impeachment proceedings against President Trump went from a theoretical danger to a vivid reality with yesterday’s guilty plea by former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen,” sources close to the White House tell Axios
“Cohen’s guilty plea (with the president identified as ‘Individual-1’) said Trump directed him to arrange hush money during the 2016 campaign to keep women from speaking out about affairs — so Cohen was accusing Trump of pushing him to commit a crime. Look for Cohen’s statement to form the basis of a 2019 impeachment attempt if Democrats win control of the House in November.”
”The crimes detailed yesterday have nothing to do with colluding with Putin to throw an election — but are felonies, nonetheless.”
