      Important point: people are rushing to collapse the SDNY Cohen investigation (which was referred by Rosenstein as not pertinent to Mueller) and Mueller investigation. Different kinds of danger for Trump from each, UNLESS and UNTIL they merge again.https://twitter.com/rgoodlaw/status/1033022255146651649 …

      emptywheel added,

      CNN's reporting supports the cautionary note: "The interview happened weeks ago under a deal negotiated by his attorney, another source familiar with the matter said. The interview was focused on Cohen and the payments. Weisselberg hasn't been called back, the source said."

      One other reason to be disciplined about distinguishing between SDNY/Cohen/hush payment // SCO/Russia // NYS/Trump investigations until we're sure they've merged is bc some people will respond to one or another kind of graft/corruption/sleaze but not others.

      If a witness is granted immunity as part of one of the Federal investigations (SDNY or Mueller), does that immunity open them up to questioning in both, or are they not sharing access to witnesses?

      It depends what kind of immunity it is, which is a point that defense attorneys like @Popehat are trying to make amid a din of people writing pieces about how the Trump investigation(s) has become one blob.

          Prediction: For some pieces of the various investigations around Trump, we will have indictments before we have full details of the immunity deals that may or may not have been struck to get those indictments.

          Right, the investigations are far from a single blob, but Trump himself now has to worry about potential vulnerabilities on multiple fronts, being looked at by multiple sets of investigators.
