I think we can safely conclude that Cohen (as I predicted) has given Mueller nothing on collusion. Cohen's crime concerns lying about a deal that didn't come to close happening; proposed meetings/contacts w/ Russians went nowhere; and nothing is redacted. #CohenSentencingMemo
Because the Cohen doc offers them nothing else, the collusion hopeful will seize on this ambiguous sentence. But it could be read either way:
1/ So I have bad news for the collusion hopeful: none of Manafort's "crimes and lies" have anything to do with events that took place during the 2016 campaign, or pertaining to collusion w/ Russia.
2/ They have to do with:
1-2) interactions w/ Kilimnik in Manafort's (non-Russia trial)
3) payment to a firm in 2017
4) "Another DOJ Investigation"
5) Admin contacts in 2018.

cc @emptywheel - care to revise your theory that Mueller let Manafort lie to nail Trump on collusion?
