Interesting that Mueller doesn't think these revelations by Cohen are important to him

All these bombs that Cohen is tossing is with the blessing of Mueller, who instructed Cohen (and the House) what subjects were to be off limits due to his investigation. My take is that if Cohen still has all these haymakers to throw that don't seem all that important to Mueller, imagine what Mueller has that is far more important. I think when it all comes out Mueller will have a ton of evidence against Trump.

It's background and set-up for his report. Meanwhile, the Rs will spend days or weeks claiming that everything Cohen is saying is false and Mueller will (likely) confirm that most, if not all, of it is true.

Which will show even more OBSTRUCTION by Trump to prevent the truth from coming out.

Trump will do everything in his illegal manner to hold on to his office.

Cohen's testimony is a warning-shot to Jr. and Kushner to better cooperate.

My guess is that Kushner will break first.
