Napolitano Says Cohen Paints a ‘Grave Picture’ for Trump: There Are ‘Four Potential Felonies’
EXCERPT:
NAPOLITANO: "This could have been put off for a week. The Congress actually helped Michael Cohen get his sentencing reporting date, his jail reporting date delayed by two months. He’s got another two months in which they could have had this. The President doesn’t need this monkey on his back while he’s negotiating with Kim Jong-un. However, as to what Michael Cohen said, you know the government doesn’t always get to pick its witnesses. Often the people who testify on behalf of the government are as morally bad as the people that government is prosecuting. Michael Cohen lied and admitted to it and now says I’m now telling the truth. But if he's that kind of a monster, Mr. President, why did you keep him around for 10 years? But he paints a potentially grave picture for the President. If the conversation he says he overheard with Roger Stone is true, then the President lied under oath because the President swore to the accuracy of his answers to the written questions from Bob Mueller, one of which was did you speak to Roger Stone about Julian Assange? Answer — no. If what Michael Cohen says is true, that the President knew about the meeting with the Russians in Trump Tower in June 2016, then he lied under oath, because he told Bob Mueller he didn't know about it."
