Why Michael Cohen Is So Dangerous to Trump

Garrett Graff: “Remember Michael Cohen’s two major revelations so far have come in just two, fairly limited, specific episodes, both of which investigative reporters have unearthed ahead of time: Stormy Daniels’ hush money payments and the Moscow Trump Tower project. Cohen, though, worked with Trump — on his most sensitive messes — for a decade. What other episodes does he know about that we haven’t unearthed yet?”

“Prosecutors ethically can’t let a witness testify or plea to things they don’t believe are true. So remember that everything Michael Cohen is saying in court, or pleading guilty to doing on paper, has been combed over for corroboration.”

“If Cohen is standing up in court and saying Donald Trump ordered him to do something, prosecutors aren’t going just off his word. They have independent corroboration. Remember all those emails and telephones seized in the April raid on Cohen’s office? We haven’t seen any of that come out yet.”
