Barr tried to get SDNY to un-do the part of the Michael Cohen conviction that implicated Trump

WiseGuyHat Retweeted

Absolutely outrageous: Barr tried to get SDNY to un-do the part of the Michael Cohen conviction that implicated the President, per NYT.

But the SDNY resisted. Which helps explain last weekend’s attempted takeover.

Its my opinion that Rod Rossenstein approved an indictment on Trump for the same charges as Cohen and then they sealed the indictment, only to be unsealed once Trump is no longer President. Barr can only know about its existence, he can't do anything about it like get rid of it. Its beyond his control at this point. I opined before that this could have been what made Trump explode at Barr, or why what may have caused a panic attack that lead to the Walter Read trip.

The fact that Trump was noted as "Individual 1" in Cohen's charging documents means only one of two things: Trump is charged in separate documents or Trump was the *target* of another criminal investigation which had not concluded/made public. Now that we know he was trying to get Barr to "un-do" the Cohen charges, its clear they know Trump is going to be charged with the same thing.

Sending him to prison, after trump is ousted. He will I think be connected to Jeffery Epstein , and convicted also. His secrets will be exposed why he was chosen for that position.
