“Mueller’s goal is to depose Trump however he can do it, and this is how he will.”
Well no. Mueller will want to and the DNC Media will want to but President Trump’s lawyers will say, no thanks. Go ahead and fine Mr. Cohen for his civil violation.
It’s not even criminal. It may not even be a civil penalty.
I agree that what Cohen did may not be a violation of the FECA. From what we know, I don’t think it is. It’s really debatable. But, if you assume that it was, the charge against Trump would be a criminal conspiracy to violate the FECA.
