"SNIP.....

Michael Cohen “was under the impression Trump would offer him a pardon in exchange for staying on message in support of the President in discussions with federal prosecutors,” CNN reports.

“After a March 2018 visit to Mar-a-Lago, the President’s private club in Florida, Cohen returned to New York believing that his former boss would protect him if he faced any charges for sticking to his story about the 2016 payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels… Trump was also at Mar-a-Lago at the time of Cohen’s visit.”

“Another source said that after the April 2018 FBI raid on Cohen’s office and home, people close to the President assured Cohen that Trump would take care of him. And Cohen believed that meant that the President would offer him a pardon if he stayed on message. It is unclear who specifically reached out to Cohen.”

1. If this can be proven it's game over!

Obstruction of justice, witness tampering, and abuse of power.

5. In a normal world, yes. But...

...so should have been Trump firing Comey, then publicly stating he did he did it to “relieve pressure” on his administration over the “Russian thing.” If that open admission of obstruction wasn’t enough to get him impeached, why would this be?

4. Trump, Cohen, and the rest of the not yet ready for prime time grifters were amazingly ignorant.

They had little or no real understanding of how government works.

They thought removing the sanctions on Russia would be easy.

They thought Trump could pardon whoever he wanted to pardon with no repercussions.

Trump himself thought that then the House passed the repeal of AFA, all he had to do was sign it and it was a done deal.

3. "It's unclear..." (to reporters and the public) "who specifically reached out to Cohen"

Cohen knows! Mueller knows! The grand jury knows!

6. This is a case where the crime is SO much worse than the cover up.

8. "Lordy, I hope there are tapes" to quote Comey. Cohen liked to tape his conversations..... nt
