Did Trump Just Move a Step Closer to Unindicted Co-conspirator?


Cohen’s sentencing is not the end of the investigation into the campaign finance crimes. And we can expect further indictments against those close to the president.

Michael Cohen got three years in prison Wednesday for his role in what the judge called “a smorgasbord” of crimes, including hush money payments that violated campaign finance rules. But the most consequential development from the hearing had to do with a person who was not even in the courtroom: Donald Trump.

While it might have been a formality, it was important. No one in that courtroom, including the judge, disagreed that Trump directed Cohen to commit crimes.

Nevertheless, news reports make clear that their investigation of the crimes Cohen was convicted of are not over. That means others in the Trump Organization are still vulnerable to indictment and therefore it is entirely possible Trump himself would be formally named as an unindicted co-conspirator. - Politico

No matter what happens, Individual-1 & the GOP have set the new standard for the definition of power grab and power retention. Break the law, do not uphold the law, let the pieces fall where they may, then deny deny deny.
