Just heard on Fox. Didn't even go to trial and he already made a deal. I bet he sold his soul.

Cohen set to appear at 4PM in court today to strike a plea deal. Trump's attorney Michael Cohen strikes a deal to plead GUILTY amid claims of $20 million fraud - meaning he could co-operate with Mueller. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6083533/Cohen-discussing-possible-GUILTY-plea-following-report-alleged-fraud-probe.html |

The only thing this little dog and pony show demonstrates is that if the government wants to destroy your life, if they dig deep enough, they can probably find something on you to do it. |

Why would this mean he’s going to start cooperating with Mueller? Mueller referred it to the SDNY, and they are the ones who decided to prosecute. Mueller has nothing to do with it now. |

Cohen dropped his lawsuit against Fusion GPS/Buzzfeed the moment he got hooked up and then started dumping recording and now has come to an agreement. We'll see what that means in the long run. |

Cohen's troubles were self-inflicted losses and fraud tied to his taxi-medallion business (leeching off government rents).
I'm not seeing how he could (legally) inflict any harm on Trump -- it's not like being convicted of bank fraud over taxi-medallion losses is going to give him free rein to break attorney-client privilege with his clients. Trump wasn't a part of that business, so Cohen can't fall back on the legal-ethics exception to not being allowed to perpetrate crimes with clients. |

In related news.... Flynn’s sentencing has been delayed yet again. "This is the fourth time sentencing has been delayed, even as Flynn’s team has signaled they are ready to conclude the case. In July, a lawyer for Flynn said the retired Army lieutenant general was “eager” to wrap up and proceed to sentencing." --some Fox news rag Naturally they say it's because Flynn is still 'cooperating' with authorities, lol. And I guess he is, insofar as the continued lack of |

Probably won't deal with Ruskies - although I'm interested in the "campaign finance violations" that the media is currently reporting... I wonder how quickly the Information and/or plea agreement gets filed so we can read it... |
