One Justice Department veteran said Cohen's statements can be split into two camps: 'prurient interests' that encourage political theater, and 'legally significant' material that could prove dangerous for Trump.
that the radical pro-transparency group WikiLeaks was planning on dumping thousands of stolen Democratic emails — that had been hacked by the Russian government — during the election.Michael Cohen, center, President Donald Trump's former lawyer, speaks as he departs after testifying before a closed door hearing of the Senate Intelligence Committee accompanied by his lawyers, Lanny Davis, left, of Washington, and Michael Monico of Chicago, on Capitol Hill, Tuesday, Feb.
"In conversations we had during the campaign, at the same time I was actively negotiating in Russia for him, he would look me in the eye and tell me there's no business in Russia and then go out and lie to the American people by saying the same thing," Cohen added."In his way, he was telling me to lie.
"One is the prurient interests: Donald Trump is a liar, he's a cheat, he's not worth as much money, he's made racist statements, and so on," Cramer told INSIDER."That's hardly shocking. It may be embarrassing. It's public theater. But it's not relevant with respect to any criminal charges.""No one thinks Cohen was having an affair with Stormy Daniels, so the [hush money] came from somewhere, for some reason," he added.
Cramer told INSIDER that Cohen's submission of documentary evidence may tilt the public-relations war with the White House in his favor. "There is some validity to attacks against Cohen," he said."He's a convicted liar, that's true, but he's Trump's convicted liar. And if he's got documents to prove what he's saying, it doesn't matter that he's a proven liar. That's the beautiful thing about documentary evidence."
