I’ve been wondering why Cohen folded as he did. But now I’m reading about millions of dollars being moved around. Maybe that’s part of the puzzle.
Maybe he folded as quickly as he did because going to prison might be the best way to get out from under his debts.
The players arrayed against PDJT can get their hands on tens of billions with a few phone calls.
He folded because he lives and does business in the deep blue state of New York. Even if Trump pardoned him for federal charges, it wouldn’t save him from the NY AG’s office and doing a long stretch in state prison instead of a short stretch at ClubFed.
I view his plea as good news for Trump. All they’ve got is their novel interpretation of campaign finance law declaring NDAs are a violation.
Cohen literally had nothing to give them except soundbytes for a couple of news cycles.
