Confirmed: Michael Cohen has sold out everyone on everything
In the nearly two months since Michael Cohen walked into court and pleaded guilty to eight felony counts and then named Donald Trump an unindicted co-conspirator, we’ve heard one report after another about Cohen meeting with federal and state prosecutors. Although his deal didn’t require any cooperation, Cohen was cooperating on at least some level. But now we’re getting confirmation of just how thoroughly he’s been cooperating – and it’s stunning.
Michael Cohen has already spent fifty hours meeting with prosecutors about multiple ongoing investigations, according to a lengthy new expose from Vanity Fair. For reference, that’s a whole number multiple larger than any number of hours that any of Trump’s people is reported to have spent with prosecutors. This means that Cohen is selling out everyone on everything. That’s remarkable, because the extent of what he knows is quite deep when it comes to the Trump family.
Cohen spent several years acting as the “fixer” for the Trump Organization. That means he has intimate knowledge of not only every Trump family scandal that arose, but of how Donald Trump went about trying to bury those scandals. We already know that Trump has resorted to illegal means to try to make at least some of his scandals go away.
As Palmer Report pointed out three days ago, there is still an active grand jury in the Michael Cohen criminal case, even though Cohen has already pleaded out. That means someone else involved in the illegal payoff to Stormy Daniels is being criminally targeted. Based on separate reports that Donald Trump instructed Michael Cohen to work with Eric Trump to cover the whole thing up, it’s fair to ask if Eric is the grand jury target. Meanwhile, it’s more clear than ever that Michael Cohen is trying to fix this mess as aggressively as possible. Interestingly, he’s also taken to retweeting Palmer Report.
