Crime: Trump Threatened Cohen’s Father

~ < 1 of audio

Author note. 

Explore voice = Exploratory style. Very punchy. Personal, and lively using “me,” “you,” “us,” and “I” freely.

I want you to feel me right there with you. We use “I” and “me” and “us” without apology. If the Explain voice is a bridge, the Explore voice is the hike we take across it. It is lively, reflective, and sometimes a bit raw. It is the sound of a shared exploration where I lead you by the hand, but we both discover the view at the same time.

This is where I get to think out loud. Not with definitions, we aren’t just looking at the facts; we are looking at how they feel and what they mean for our lives. I’m talking to you about what I’ve found and what I’m still figuring out. It is engaging because it is real, and it is reflective because it is honest.

The goal is real advice and enjoyable reading. I want to land on something you can actually use. It’s about being direct, being punchy, and making sure that by the time we reach the end of the page, we’ve both found something worth keeping.

And now the piece.

Crime: Trump Threatened Cohen’s Father

It is illegal to intimidate witnesses against you. It is particularly bad for the President to way in on any court case, but especially his own. The President of the United States threatened a witness in a case against him. We know through Michael Cohen’s lawyer that Michael is now worried about his father-in-law and re-evaluating the situation.

Verified: Trump did this in public. There is no dispute. The only question is whether Mueller or anyone will bother to prosecute because of all the other crimes. Wait and see time.
