I wonder if he'll implicate Trump?

Cooperation isn't technically part of the plea but obviously he still could.

The relevant bit:
NYTimes wrote:The plea agreement does not call for Mr. Cohen to cooperate with federal prosecutors in Manhattan, but it does not preclude him from providing information to the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, who is examining the Trump campaign’s possible involvement in Russia’s interference in the 2016 campaign.

He already implicated Trump in his guilty pleas. It’s unclear if he’ll cooperate to strengthen the case.

Outside of your shear ingnorance in your emotions, what crimes did Cohen implicate Trump to with his plea? Please, “Mr Now Legal Expert” enlighten all of us with your new I-Phone expertise.

The pleas directly state that Cohen says he committed felonies on behalf of Trump at the direction of Trump. Specifically counts 7 and 8 implicate Trump. Individual 1 who is clearly the same as “candidate” is described as the current president of the US. Know of any other current US presidents?

Stop. It.

If he wants to put his sheer ignorance on display, who are we to deprive him of it?
