And this puts aside the political pressure that would be on DOJ as to whether to treat this campaign finance violation as a wilful criminal violation. As
@thetrevorpotter mentions, the unknown question is whether this is within the purview of special counsel MuellerShow this thread
Presumably, given that it is campaign related, AG Sessions would have to recuse on handling of DOJ case, which gives it to Rosenstein. But we don't know if Rosenstein would/did refer it to Mueller. If not, could be handled by DOJ public integrity folks or people in another office

But just to stress--even a fair minded prosecutor untouched by political pressure would have to think twice about going after Cohen criminally for this, absent some smoking gun evidence. John Edwards case just latest time DOJ got burned for being too aggressive in political cases
