Cohen: Trump "Disloyal To This Country"


There are new reports that former Trump lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen has spoken extensively for hours with investigators and prosecutors on the Mueller team, with representatives of the Southern District of New York attending. The broad scope of the discussions between Mueller's team and Cohen are described by Vanity Fair's Emily Jane Fox:
"One person familiar with Cohen’s conversations explained that while Mueller’s focus is on Russia, their discussions have gone beyond potential collusion. 'He’s committed to working with Mueller on everything,' this person said. 'Everything. It’s been him saying, ‘these are the many things I’ve lived with for 10 years.’ He is no longer behind Donald Trump with a shovel. He wants to tell the truth about why Donald Trump is unsuitable to be president, about how he is not only dangerous for the country, but disloyal to this country as well.'" (our emphasis)
In addition to being con man and unindicted co-conspirator Donald "Rump" Trump's bag man for payoffs to porn stars, Cohen was also a link with the Russian mob in New York City and would have had knowledge of financial transactions between them and Rump. The New York State tax authority is also in the loop for violations of state income tax fraud and the ongoing lawsuit against the corrupt, self-dealing Trump Foundation. We're anxiously awaiting the details of those things that show Rump's disloyalty to the country.

The fact that Cohen is tied in to Federal prosecutions (Mueller and SDNY) and the State of New York's prosecutors must worry Rump to no end, knowing "the many things (Cohen's) lived with for 10 years."
