I would love to know what proof Michael Cohen has that Donald Trump knew all about the Trump Tower meeting between the Russians, his son and his son-in-law because it will blow the whole collusion thing out of the water, expose all the Trump lies and could very well result in Trump being impeached or even imprisoned.
If you don't know what I'm talking about then read here.
An extract:
Trump has loudly and repeatedly denied that his presidential campaign colluded with the Russians, calling Mueller’s investigation a “witch hunt.”
But the explosive report, if corroborated by Mueller’s team, could potentially expose the president and his team to additional legal risk, according to experts.
“The significance of this report will depend on the facts,” said Barbara McQuade, a former U.S. attorney from eastern Michigan. “If Trump was aware of the meeting in advance and encouraged it to go forward, then he could face criminal exposure under a number of different theories.”
“He could be in violation of campaign finance laws for accepting a thing of value from a foreign national in relation to an election” she continued. “If he knew that the source of the information was from illegal hacking, he could be charged with accessory after the fact to a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. He could also be charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States by impeding the fair administration of elections. In addition, he could be charged with obstruction of justice for misdirecting investigators by dictating a misleading press release.”
But Cohen’s statement on its own probably isn’t enough to convince Mueller.
“It’s huge if true. The question will be if it can be corroborated,” said Peter Zeidenberg, a former federal prosecutor. “It’s very possible that Mueller can or will be able to corroborate much of this. I would not be at all surprised if these participants emailed or texted one another about the meeting — before and after.”
“Of course, for some, even if Trump is caught on video talking Russian to Putin, they will not care,” added Zeidenberg, who served as deputy to independent counsel Patrick Fitzgerald during the George W. Bush-era investigation into who leaked CIA operative Valerie Plame’s identity. “For most, though, this is a big deal and would show, once again, how dangerous it is to rely on Trump’s denials.”
The other question that has to be asked is how stupid is Trump to make an enemy of his former lawyer? This is the guy who knows where all the bodies are and - by the sounds of it - is prepared to spill the beans.
I only hope for Cohen's safety. I wouldn't be all that shocked if he was involved in some kind of fatal "accident" between now and his meeting with Mueller!
