What if trump starts protecting Cohen now?

too late?

1. drumpf can't make any drastic moves without huge repercussions.

2. Too early and too late

If he pardons Cohen now, New York State will prosecute him. So too early. But New York law does not allow the state to prosecute someone who has already been tried at the federal level. So Trump has to wait at least for the trial to start. But by that time, a lot of evidence will already be public. So it's too late.

3. It depends. The press seems to be ignoring for the most part the fact that

Mueller has convictions and confessions.

4. I'm counting more on the legal process than the press

I hope my faith is not misplaced.
