Let's just say that none of your descriptions of events were overlooked by Cohen's lawyer, but rather looked at and dismissed as not legally tenable arguments.

Just sayin', law school has a tendency to create 'cut to the chase' thinking and argumentation, on the part of those admitted to the Bar, because investigators and judges do not suffer fools gladly.

Bottom line is that Cohen has plead and he has implicated Trump in a crime.

And guess what. Day by day Trump has fewer and fewer people to corroborate anything he's ever said.

But go ahead and take a stab at another 'what about....?' on this one.

Pecker flips on Trump in exchange for legal immunity, corroborates Cohen's accusations.


https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/08/donal...hael-cohen

According to two sources briefed on the Cohen investigation, prosecutors granted immunity to David Pecker, chairman of The National Enquirer publisher American Media Inc., and A.M.I.’s chief content officer, Dylan Howard, so they would describe Trump’s involvement in Cohen’s payments to porn star Stormy Daniels and Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal during the 2016 campaign.

The Wall Street Journal first reported Pecker’s cooperation on Wednesday night. (Pecker and Howard did not respond to multiple requests for comment. A spokesperson for the Southern District of New York declined to comment.)

Pecker’s apparent decision to corroborate Cohen’s account, and implicate Trump in a federal crime, is another vivid example of how isolated Trump is becoming as the walls close in and his former friends look for ways out.

Drip, drip, drip.
