THREAD: The five things we've already learned from Michael Cohen today: wired.com/story/michael-…
1) Cohen's actually telling the first story about the 2016 campaign that makes sense, a cohesive timeline that includes Trump Tower Moscow, the June 2016 meeting, and Julian Assange—and then his long-puzzling “Russia if you’re listening” comment. wired.com/story/michael-…
2) Cohen draws attention to what I’ve long seen as one of the most suspicious parts of the Trump Tower Moscow project—the expected $300 million price tag to the Trump Org, a fee a hundred times what Trump was usually making in deals at the time. wired.com/story/michael-…
3) He pierces the facade—never all that believable—that it was possible these projects (Moscow, June meeting, Wikileaks) were proceeding without Donald Trump’s personal oversight or permission. This isn't a Fortune 100 org. This is a family business. wired.com/story/michael-…
4) Cohen brings Donald Trump’s crimes into the White House—and he brings the literal receipt. And he's implicating others. wired.com/story/michael-…
5) Lastly, Cohen gives a precise and completely believable accounting of the confusion over last month’s BuzzFeed bombshell that said Cohen had been directed by Trump to lie to Congress—and it's a story consistent with what Comey has already told us too. wired.com/story/michael-…
