    One other note about Cohen, while we wait--Mueller may have been less interested in offering up a cooperation agreement with Cohen since Cohen was already working the press.

        The latest from @WRashbaum @maggieNYT @benprotess: "The plea agreement does not call for Mr. Cohen to cooperate with federal prosecutors in Manhattan, but it does not preclude him from providing information to the special counsel" https://nyti.ms/2OUBjTy

        It means wait for the document. It's possible it is written like Pap's, meaning that if Cohen bends over backwards he may get consideration, but prosecutors aren't promising anything.

        I thought the special council office already told federal investigators that they didn’t need Cohen’s cooperation for their probe . Unless of course they find that he did go to Prague

        I no of no evidence to support either of those claims.

        And Mueller might have gotten enough documents in the raid, that Cohen has little value to him at this point

        This plea agreement seems to be missing some of the bigger charges though according to sources, which implies he might be cooperating?

        This is absolutely true, and this plea agreement likely covers none of his liability in the Russia case, where witnesses like Artemenko have already told newspapers they believe Cohen is one of the main targets based on the line of questions from prosecutors.

        Maybe Cohen cooperation isn’t that necessary if they have all his emails and recordings.

        He doesn't need cooperation since Cohen's plea allocution included the damning testimony.

        I’m guessing they have him nailed down pretty well, given the mountain of evidence they got on the raid also.

        My thoughts exactly. I think any intentions Mueller had of working with him evaporated once he began doling out info to the media. Even before then, I didn't think Mueller believed any tenable info Cohen could provide/verify was worth the trouble.

        But his lawyers presumably would've known that before the resistance hero press tour. I wonder if this is all kabuki. Pleads guilty to all the charges including ones that could overlap with state charges so double jeopardy will apply, and wait for the pardon to come.

        Is Cohen not as valuable if the prosecutors recovered tapes/docs/evidence that implicates Trump?
