Breaking news: Cohen to cooperate with Mueller....

Even if Cohen had dirt on trump it would be attorney client privileged stuff. So you’ll need to find something outside that scope. Just cause he isn’t telling mueller to get fucked doesn’t really mean much. Anyday now though!

You should've read the article I linked....

Cohen... went to federal court in Manhattan arguing that his attorneys should be given a first look at the materials seized in the raids for items potentially covered by attorney-client privilege before federal prosecutors could examine the haul.

Judge Wood subsequently appointed former federal judge Barbara Jones to act as a “special master” to conduct an impartial review of the materials and to referee any disputes between Cohen and the government.

Trump and the Trump Organization intervened in the case and were also granted access to review the materials for potentially privileged items.

Jones reported last week that of the first 300,000 items reviewed, she had determined that just 162 of them were covered by attorney-client privilege. She rejected three items that Cohen, Trump or the Trump organization had designated as privileged.

Trump is dirty as a pig sty.

He belongs in prison. But I'd settle for him being a private citizen again. Maybe one on the dole.

I wonder how many billion dollars in fines he can afford to pay and still have enough left over to buy a mobile home and a small lot in a trailer park to put it on...
 
Again I’ll say, Federal Prosecutors are not giving Cohen a deal without new, strong, verifiable information about a bigger fish.

It's possible that the fish could just be Manafort.

But then, who might they get Manafort to flip on?

Have we heard there is a deal/plea agreement? That’s not what I heard based on this thread. I heard he’s cooperating. Which can me something far broader

Cooperating usually means there is a deal in the works.

I read in a Washington Post article, that his attorneys stepping away could possibly be because of a conflict of interest due to the fact that they have been paid by Trump. If that's the case, then it would suggest that Cohen, their client, would be giving evidence against another of their clients, i.e. Trump.

Cohen is a big fish who appears to have committed some very serious crimes, If federal prosecutors are giving Cohen a deal, they are getting something big, and verifiable that they didn’t already have.

Not necessarily. Mueller, for example, keeps indicting people for serious financial crimes, and then allowing them to plead guilty to process crimes, like lying to the FBI.

Probably in exchange for information on higher ups.

Hopefully, anyway.
