Robert Ray on Hush Money Case: ‘Where Exactly Is the Crime Here?’

EXCERPT:

RAY: "And not only that, but I think there’s a fair argument to be made that Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to a campaign finance violation under federal law that probably is not even a crime. And he did so, by his own admission in testimony, because the prosecution put him in the position of having to plead guilty or they were going to go after his wife, which suggests that he would have pleaded guilty to just about anything. Now he will try to buck that and deny that and say that, 'You know, I pleaded guilty because, in fact, I am guilty,' but I think there’s already serious question about that. I think you are going to see some of that explored, which gets to your other point which is, where exactly is the crime here? I think that a lot more cross-examination through Cohen will export those issues, to answer your question about where we go from here."
