Vinoo Varghese: Cohen Plea Is ‘More Ammunition, More Fuel for the Mueller Investigation’

‘His plea agreement calls for him to file amended tax returns’

EXCERPT:

VARGHESE: "Correct, correct. It would lead to a — the indictment would be sealed so that Mr. Cohen could cooperate so that the person that he’s cooperating against doesn't know. This is a public indictment — public plea agreement. The President knows obviously it’s all over the news that he’s the person that Michael Cohen is referring to, then-candidate. What it means is that this is more ammunition, more fuel for the Mueller investigation. A question of which route Mr. Mueller takes, whether he goes against the sitting — standing DOJ policies, indict a sitting president, or use this to prepare his report for impeachment purposes."
