Excerpt:

Once again, Robert Mueller’s team is nailing a witness they want to use to incriminate President Trump in some nefarious scheme with a guilty plea for lying, and thereby discrediting any future testimony against the intended target. Well, at least it gives them a scalp to nail to the wall to justify the tens of millions of dollars already expended over the last two years in an effort to unseat a sitting president.

But Trump’s enemies are certain that the end is near.

As Brooke Singman of Fox News points out

Significantly, Mueller’s questions to Trump included a specific inquiry about any interaction or communication Trump may have had with Cohen and others, including foreign nationals, regarding real estate developments in Russia during the campaign.

But Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani told Fox News’ Catherine Herridge there is no “contradiction” with Trump’s answers and they “remain comfortable” with the president’s responses.

Trump, in response to Thursday’s plea deal, called Cohen a “weak person” and accused him of lying to get out of trouble.

There was nothing at all illegal about the Trump Organization negotiating a real estate development deal with Russia or anyone else during the campaign, or even in office, for that matter. Perhaps Cohen mis-remembered the date the talks ceased, or perhaps he was  trying to avoid embarrassment. That embarrassment was not because of any illegality or impropriety but rather has to do with keeping up appearances of confidence in victory.  It seems obvious that President Trump was hedging his bets, not 100% certain that his campaign would bring victory (as 99%+ of the media and “experts” predicted), and not torpedoing the process of exploring new business projects, a steady of stream of which is necessary to maintain his activity as a developer.
