Remember Cohen's plea deal? Where he took a deal as "not cooperating"? Manafort gave him something or promised to give him something valuable enough to cut this deal. And he's likely taking prison time still.

Giuliani saying they aren't worried means, "THEY ARE REALLY WORRIED!" People have to pick up on the fact that this group lies out of instinct and say the opposite of what the truth is almost without fail.

Trump will go on a Tweet storm soon enough to confirm how much this freaks him out.
