Cohen appeared in federal court in Manhattan Thursday where he entered a guilty plea for misstatements to Congress in closed-door testimony last year about his contacts with Russians during the presidential campaign. Cohen has now promised to “put family and country first” by cooperating with prosecutors, becoming perhaps the most pivotal public witness against his former boss.
Cohen’s earlier plea deal with federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York implicated President Trump in campaign finance felonies. Since then, Cohen has spent more than 70 hours in interviews with Mueller's team. The questioning has focused on contacts with Russians by Trump associates during the campaign, Trump’s business ties to Russia, obstruction of justice and talk of possible pardons.
“The potential significance of Cohen’s cooperation is immense, for most high- powered business people with complex business interests, having one’s personal attorney become a star witness for the prosecution is the worst possible legal nightmare."” said Kendall Coffey, a former United States Attorney in Florida.

I didn't see that anyone else had posted this news....
We have known for some months that The Special Prosecutor's office, other federal, and state courts have had all of Mr. Cohen's records on the greasy toad's business. We have also know for some months that Mr. Cohen claimed that he was going to be putting the best interests of the American people and his family first.
Now, we know that Mr. Cohen has made good on his promise.
I find the timing interesting too. Just days following the submission of Dip- Shit's responses to Mueller's questions...Mikey the fixer signs the paperwork??
I looks like the Special Prosecutor got what he wanted.
