Michael D. Cohen, President Trump’s former lawyer, on Tuesday reached a plea agreement with prosecutors investigating payments he made to women on behalf of Mr. Trump, a deal that does not include cooperation with federal authorities, two people familiar with the matter said.

With all of the other evidence around that the Mango Mussolini knew about it, he may not have had to agree to provide any more cooperation. His guilty plea manages to drag tRump right into the middle of it.

He plead to both the $150,000 and $130,000 payments "in cooperation with and at the direction of a 'candidate for federal office'".

And I don't think he was talking about Bernie or Hillary!

Cohen sure has a funny way of 'taking a bullet' for tRump!

It is not a co-operation agreement, Cohen is pleading guilty to 3 charges. He may later decide to co-operate but this isn't a profer or anything like it.

Probably with all the documentary evidence in hand, the Feds didn't need Cohen's testimony. Just making a deal so they can save their resources and move on to the big bloated fish.

His fixer is about to plead guilty, and one of the pleas could be about Stormy Daniels payoff. Michael Avenatti is licking his chops waiting to depose Trump, waiting to get him on the stand.

Trump better start pardoning people which will not be a good look leading up to the elections.
