Muller’s looking at the Stormy payment, sees stuff about taxi medallions, wonders if this is an unreported source of income and thus like Manaforts deals, some possible crime that “arises in the context of the SC investigation”. He calls Rosenstein who says nope and refers him to the Southern District. That’s what happened.
Maybe. But what he’s really investigating is not Stormy or the payments but rather the GPS dossier. Cohen is mentioned in the dossier. He’s going to waterboard Cohen to secure his cooperation. But the allegation on Cohen in the dossier is pretty hokey. I don’t think he’s going to get anything on him.
