Yesterday Drudge drops a story that Trumps statements to Mueller were under oath. One statement was that he didn't know about the Trump Tower meeting with that Russian woman. The next day we hear Cohen is in a plea deal for lying to congress. Cohen told congress that he only learned about the meeting with the Russian woman after the fact.

My feeble mind ties these two drops together and interprets it to say that they have force Cohen to say he did know about the meeting prior to it happening. That now lets them probe if he told Trump, which is surely part of the plea deal for him to say "yes I told Trump too". Which means that this liar is accusing Trump of perjury.

Sounds plausible, but Cohen supposedly taped Trump’s conversations with him. Thus, if this is not on a tape, his testimony will be essentially meaningless. Trump can just stick to his guns, and state that Cohen is either misremembering or is lying. He can also point to the fact that Cohen has changed his stories, and admitted perjury, thus has admitted to being a liar.

Yep. That’s why they wanted it in writing if anything. They had the Cohen deal ready to go.

Now Mueller can believe Cohen over Trump and charge him with lying under oath.
