Trump Is Being Investigated For A Mysterious New Crime In New York
Lawyers claiming to be associated with Rudy Giuliani reached out to Michael Cohen after he was raided and nobody is talking about a potential crime that is being investigated in the Southern District of New York involving Trump.
ABC News reported:
The sources familiar with the contacts said the two lawyers first reached out to Cohen late in April of last year and that the discussions continued for about two months. The attorneys, who have no known formal ties to the White House, urged Cohen not to leave the joint defense agreement, the sources told ABC News, and also offered a Plan B. In the event Cohen opted to exit the agreement, they could join his legal team and act as a conduit between Cohen and the president’s lawyers.
At one point in the discussions, one of the attorneys sent Cohen a phone screenshot to prove they were in touch with Giuliani, the sources said.

That is strange, but it gets weirder.
Here is Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi’s answer when he was asked by MSNBC’s Chris Hayes if Cohen’s closed-door testimony before the House Intelligence Committee provided more details on what the SDNY is investigating:

There is a big shoe about to drop, and the breadcrumbs suggest that Trump and Giuliani have been using non-affiliated attorneys to reach out to witnesses and defendants to try to keep them quiet and onboard with Trump. In other words, the President Of The United States may be trying to silence witnesses and obstruct justice. - PoliticusUSA

Trump's had a whole warehouse full of shoes drop so far and nothing has been done. 
It doesn't seem like Cohen is holding anything back, at this point. He knows there will be no pardons from Chump, so why bother with a joint defense agreement? It couldn't possibly help anybody but Chump.
