The article notes: "Those familiar with Cohen’s thinking were unsure about what he might have to offer prosecutors, but because he had worked so closely with Trump and his family for more than a decade, it was assumed that he could potentially be a useful corroborating witness."
In light of the fact that five of Trump's inner circle have pleaded guilty and are now cooperating with Mueller's investigation, it would seem a long shot that they're not spilling secrets about crimes involving the President. Mueller would not have cut a plea deal with some of these five if they couldn't provide significant evidence.
Possible other targets include Donald Trump Jr., the President's oldest son, as well as Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law. Other possibilities include Trump's longtime confidant and close friend Roger Stone, whose political dirty tricks stretch all the way back to the Nixon administration.
Mueller has produced some startling indictments in a little more than a year on the job, far more productive than past high-level special prosecutors. Nonetheless, this is a story with real cliffhangers, because all these cooperating witnesses means bigger fish are being readied to fry.
Stay tuned.
