"Major Takeaways from #MichaelCohen's Plea on Trump Moscow Project"

By @K8brannen and @rgoodlaw

with quotes from Just Security experts @normative @AndyMcCanse @lrozen @alexgwhiting @renato_mariotti
justsecurity.org/61671/major-ta…
Readers may be especially interested in the section titled:

"How might the Moscow Project connect up with allegations of collusion?"

which connects revelations in the Cohen guilty plea to great reporting by other journalists and analysts

justsecurity.org/61671/major-ta…
If Cohen is cooperating like this on Russia investigation, imagine what he may provide prosecutors in campaign finance (hush money) investigation.

Brannen and Goodman's analysis of Cohen's plea also refers to this earlier piece by @ThePaulSRyan:

Exclusive: U.N. Human Rights Experts Directly Engage With Facebook on "Overly Broad" Definitions in Regulating Terrorist Content

UN expert sends letter, two sides meet. So, how was the meeting?
justsecurity.org/60554/exclusiv…
UN Rapporteur @NiAolainF:

“I wish to emphasize the importance of ensuring that any relevant definitions adopted and employed by #Facebook are compatible with standards set by international law, including international #humanrights law and international humanitarian law.”
UN Rapporteur @davidakaye:

“It undermines the ability of #Facebook to push back against the efforts of governments to impose ever broader definitions of terrorism…when the standard is not tied closely to standards in #humanrights law and other international instruments.”

A criminal case against Donald Trump would turn the weaknesses in the prosecution of John Edwards into strengths.

@ThePaulSRyan on the alleged wrongdoing at the center of the Michael Cohen #HushMoney campaign finance scandal
justsecurity.org/60415/prosecut…
A key that could unlock the case against Trump:

"Cohen’s plea documents indicate a host of other people were involved... One of those individuals, the President of AMI has already 'provided prosecutors with details about payments…including Mr. Trump’s knowledge of the deals.'"
Edwards: "DOJ presented no evidence that Hunter was planning or threatening to speak to the press about her affair…Edwards’ lawyers made a big deal out of this"

Trump: "McDougal and Clifford were in negotiation with national media outlets to sell the rights to their stories"

Based on the work of Sundance @TheLastRefuge2 I've long held to the theory that Michael Cohen was placed in Prague by a FISA Query that got the wrong Michael Cohen. I think I found a good piece of evidence for another theory. #MichaelCohen #Spygate theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/01/15/hor…
@TheLastRefuge2 While it may be true that this information was searched for & found in the NSA database. There may be an alternative source for the information getting into the dossier. It may have been part of a sting versus Oleg Deripaska who was part of the Trump Moscow deal.
@TheLastRefuge2 There is clear evidence that the Trump Casino project was an FBI sting started in 2014 against the Russians. justice.gov/sites/default/…
