Is this the Game Changer: Cohen-Trump Pardon Talks?

WaPo reports that Cohen was questioned by the House Intelligence Committee about whether Trump discussed a pardon with Cohen. Is this the possible “game changer” to which Lanny Davis referred on the Rachel Maddow show?

From WaPo:

Lawmakers are investigating whether President Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen was involved in any discussions about possible pardons — which they view as a potentially ripe area of inquiry into whether anyone sought to obstruct justice, people familiar with the matter said. . . .

Unless it is an audio recording, what kind of document could demonstrate offer of a pardon?

I can't imagine SDNY would not have already flagged an audio recording like that.

federally indicted, this stuff will continue. Trump NEVER plays by the rules, ALWAYS lies and doesn't give a damn about anything except his narcissistic driven ego.

It will take more than a village bring down this despicable person.

My son said to me yesterday that there could be video of Trump signing a contract with Putin in blood while eating a baby and stomping on a kitten, and his base would not care.
