For Trump, Cohen Plea Deal's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Exoneration

EXCERPT:

"Contrary to media speculation that Robert Mueller is closing in on President Trump, the special prosecutor’s plea deal with Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen offers further evidence that the Trump campaign did not collude with Russians during the 2016 election, according to congressional investigators and former prosecutors.

Cohen pleaded guilty last week to making false statements in 2017 to the Senate intelligence committee about the Trump Organization’s failed efforts to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. Discussions about the so-called Moscow Project continued five months longer in 2016 than Cohen had initially stated under oath.

The nine-page charging document filed with the plea deal suggests that the special counsel is using the Moscow tower talks to connect Trump to Russia. But congressional investigators with House and Senate committees leading inquiries on the Russia question told RealClearInvestigations that it looks like Mueller withheld from the court details that would exonerate the president. They made this assessment in light of the charging document, known as a statement of “criminal information” (filed in lieu of an indictment when a defendant agrees to plead guilty); a fuller accounting of Cohen’s emails and text messages that Capitol Hill sources have seen; and the still-secret transcripts of closed-door testimony provided by a business associate of Cohen."

Mueller has done this before. He has a bad habit of concealing exonerating information. He did it in the Enron case.

haha, what a joke.... the Cohen plea puts Trump a hair away from prosecutors stating, on record, that he committed a federal crime. He is also giving them all the information about his time an intermediary between trump and russia, leading to suspicion that trump directed him to lie to Congress and investigators.

And we know what the penalty for THAT is....

You should have heard Dershowitz on Tucker Carlson tonight. There's a thread on it here tonight with links. Informing piece.

Dershowitz and others talked about it in my article too, they say Mueller doesn't appear to have enough of anything against Trump.

Dershowitz: Mueller won't produce balanced report



He advises that the Trump team produce a counter response to the Muellers report, that Mueller allow Trump see the report BEFORE it is produced to the Attorney General.

Neat. They're not going to do that, though.

Not going to do what?

The acting Attorney General will probably give the Trump team an opportunity to read the Mueller report, BEFORE it gets officially published, formulate a counter report on their own.

Give the report to the white house first. Can you see the comment to which i responded?
