You really can't signal Trump much more specifically than Cohen has been doing. Mind you, he assumes SDNY *and* Mueller are ready to deal with him.https://twitter.com/rebeccaballhaus/status/1009201248963264512 …

Would it make sense for Mueller to transfer Cohen over to SDNY only to be expecting to get him back? Why wouldn’t his team (ala manafort) just investigate / prosecute Cohen in the first place?

2 separate questions. 1) Why did it get transferred? Just part did. Mueller still investigating Cohen in RU probe. This part got transferred bc the issues (Stormy &, if they weren't already investigating, taxi fraud and other financial corruption) were not central to RU probe.

2) Would Mueller have preference for it that way? Yes. a. Gives him cover, makes it harder for Trump to eliminate danger with one firing. b. Puts it in same place as ongoing NYS investigation of taxi fraud. c. Actually raises the penalties for punishment even w/plea deal.
