Cohen's rap-sheet is a fizzer - dont be led astray by the narrative https://www.foxnews.com/politics/federal-prosecutors-recommend-substantial-term-of-imprisonment-for-michael-cohen ok so here's the 'damnable' news about Cohen his charges? 1) lying to congress about Trumps hush money to 2 women 2) lying about being approached by a Russian agent offering  'political synergy' this is why it's bullshit: 1) hush money for sexual escapades is legal. Its a twist of legal norms and definitions for that to suddenly become illegal during a run for public office  Cohen was a goose for lying about it, though. But in a similar way to Bill Clinton lying about Monica Lewinsky, I'm of the view that its a personal question that the congress has no rightful , decent place to ask. Its a bullshit form of entrapment, and its no indication of wrongdoing on Trumps behalf, only of Cohen's procedural compliance 2) This is how Fake News is generated. A Russian came to Cohen asking to participate in what could be perceived as corruption. ok. but:  NOTE HOW WE AREN'T TOLD what Cohen's response was to that offer. If he said 'No' - there's no crime. Except, of course, that he was a chump and lied about it NOTE ALSO that we already know from the Trump tower meeting that Fusion GPS coached a Russian agent to bait Trump jnr, who didnt take the bait. and that's why Trump tweeted that this totally exonerates him https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1071177621445230596
