According to a series of tweets trying to make sense about the blockbuster guilty plea made by President Donald Trump's former attorney, Michael Cohen, the attorney who writes under the name "Popehat" on Twitter stated President Donald Trump's entire family should be concerned by what happened on Thursday morning.
On the Twitter account begun by Los Angeles attorney Ken White -- dubbed one of the "25 conservatives worth following" by Salon -- the tweets suggest Robert Mueller is playing a longer game than just going after President Trump.
"Okay. Let's talk about a few reasons today's Cohen plea is significant," the first tweet begins. "First: it expressly contemplates Cohen's cooperation, which Cohen's previous agreement did not. Suggests that Mueller is satisfied that Cohen's cooperating enough to give him an agreement."
The tweets go on to note that there was no reason for for Mueller to go after another guilty plea from the embattled ex-Trump attorney, but that there is the larger game afoot not named Michael Cohen.
"It's not primarily ABOUT Cohen. See, this is bouncing the rubble. It adds one more felony to those Cohen has already taken, with no real marginal effect. It will have an extremely negligible effect, IF ANY, on his sentence. So why bother?" the second tweet continues, before adding, "Well, normally a federal prosecutor WOULDN'T bother with a plea that has no impact. But here, the impact is telling the story of the investigation as a whole, and promoting the case that the entire Trump Organization was lying about its degree of involvement with Russia."
"Though Trump isn't named explicitly, he and his organization figure prominently and obviously in the charging document and plea. That's not something federal prosecutors do lightly. This strongly implies further action against someone," he added.
"The conclusion that the President of the United States knew that his personal counsel was repeatedly lying to the Congress of the United States about the President's business is inescapable under these circumstances," he concluded before leaving this tip for reporters: "Dogged journalists should look to see which other Trump figures said the same things under oath or in statements to investigators."
