This statement from the Special Counsel's office today should concern the President:

Michael Cohen “has provided our office with credible and reliable information about core Russia-related issues under investigation and within the purview of the Special Counsel's Office.”

Cohen was the National Deputy Chairman for the Republican's Finance Leadership Team. I wonder if any "core Russia-related issues" Cohen provided involved them.

My guess, it was a rat's nest and Trump had his hands in it, that was why Cohen was there in the position that he was in, he was Trump's gofer.

president. Imagine having a president with BRAINS again? I respect this man so very much. He keeps a tight lid on his investigations, no leaks. He is methodically tightening the (well deserved) noose around tRump's swollen neck. These two are total opposites. One is smart, competent, respected and the other one is tRump.

That was his one client. Who knows, maybe he was on the company's payroll. Regardless, Cohen didn't do anything on his own.

We are going to find out that pretty much everything in the dossier was true.

But more than likely the Republican Senate will look on with sour faces and do nothing.

Cohen without very substantial verification. Cohen is scared with good reason, (Lanny Davis said tRump and those around him represented a potential threat to Cohen) lt is safe to conclude Cohen is in payback mode. Guess that is the code by which dotard has lived.
