Trump and bank,tax and insurance fraud.

One thing that I noticed about the Cohen testimony is that the crimes that he was alluding to, bank, tax and insurance fraud, seem to be pretty easy crimes to prove as long as you get your hands on the documentation. If you go to a bank, and apply for a loan, telling them through the forms that a 50 mil piece of property is worth 500 mil, that's bank fraud. Cohen probably knows this because he was convicted of it. He's not going to accuse Trump of the behavior and then have the documentation prove him wrong. There may have been people in New York who were dong the same kind of things that he was, but none of them were foolish enough to put themselves in the spotlight by running for president.
