President Trump's longtime lawyer Michael Cohen has surrendered to federal authorities, news reports say, and is expected to plead guilty to multiple counts of campaign finance violations, tax fraud and bank fraud. Up to six years in prison is possible
/2 A guilty plea by Cohen could make his old friend and boss - President Trump - squirm, given Cohen's apparent intention to cooperate with special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into possible collusion between Trump and/or his campaign and the Kremlin
3/ Trump departs the White House this hour for a fundraiser and 2020 campaign rally in West Virginia; news that his once loyal employee may cooperate w/federal prosecutors is certainly gloomy news for the president

What @RealDonaldTrump must wonder:
1) What will Cohen - out to save his skin - reveal about his former boss?
2) what has White House counsel McGahn told Mueller's team?
3) what other tapes is Omarosa sitting on? (though her 15 minutes may be up)

.@RealDonaldTrump said he would "drain the swamp," and the ever-lengthening line of those close to him who have pleaded guilty to felony crimes shows that indeed, it is being drained
