Alan Dershowitz: Recommended 'substantial' sentence for Michael Cohen bad news for Robert Mueller washex.am/2rsrRx8
“There are two possibilities,” said Dershowitz. “One, that Cohen hasn’t really provided them very much or hasn’t been completely cooperative.
“Or two, by recommending a very, very harsh sentence, they are putting more pressure on Cohen, maybe to come up with even more information because the government has the power to get the sentence reduced afterward if they can tell a court that there was cooperation."
“Right now, it does not sound like it’s good news for Mueller. It doesn’t sound like in Cohen they have found a witness that will give them the key to the kingdom,” he said.
