Michael Cohen's new plea deal with Robert Mueller poses the greatest danger to Donald Trump: All you need to know

Firstpost  

The timing of the Cohen guilty plea is a strategic masterstroke in the wider arc of the sprawling investigation. Donald Trump’s incoherent meltdown soon after his former fixer and personal lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to lying to US Congress about a Trump real estate project in Moscow in order to be “consistent” with Trump’s “political message” proves how dangerous Michael Cohen has always been in Donald Trump’s mental landscape. Throughout the campaign, Trump kept saying “I have nothing to do with Russia” while Cohen’s guilty plea says that’s not true. Thursday morning surprise Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former lawyer, made a surprise appearance before a federal judge in New York on Thursday and pleaded guilty to lying to Congress to cover up that he was negotiating a real estate deal in Moscow on Trump’s behalf during the heat of his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination.Thursday’s charge was brought by special counsel Robert Mueller. “Liar” Robert Mueller says Michael Cohen is telling the truth, Donald Trump is saying Micheal Cohen is a liar.
