Trump And Cohen
Trump had made it clear that he didn’t think his personal lawyer Michael Cohen would flip on him.
Despite this assertion by Trump many analysts still wondered if Cohen could be persuaded to turn on Trump.
The documents found in the raid on Cohen’s office haven’t been revealed. At this moment they still remained a mystery.
How troubling could this be is a very good question as it was unclear if the documents contained anything that could implicate Trump. Could there be anything to implicate his allies as well?
Trump was informed that he wasn’t a target in the Mueller probe, but some actions certainly made it seem otherwise.
“There really has not been any visible change since he was apparently informed of his status as ‘subject.’ Not being considered a target of the Mueller probe does not mean he can’t still be charged as they obtain additional evidence,” James Trusty said. “Not being a target for the Cohen investigation and search warrant is slightly reassuring, but again does not mean much in terms of whether he will ever be charged.”
Trusty served under the Bush and Obama administrations as a high ranking Justice Department official.
“We heard he had some proclivity to make tapes,” one Trump adviser said. “Now we are wondering, who did he tape? Did he store those someplace where they were actually seized? . . . Did they find his recordings?”
The thought of viable evidence in the hands of Mueller was certainly terrifying, but more terrifying was the wait.
