Any Federal attorney could take over those charges. Mueller wasn’t appointed to go after decade plus old tax fraud. He is using the charges as leverage, it’s cheap squeeze tactics plain and simple. Only the blind couldn’t see through this charade. |
Actually you are right, that is why Mueller isn't making these charges, its the state of NY. I believe you forgot that Mueller handed this off to the state jurisdiction since the original case to raid Cohen had nothing to do with the Russia investigation. As for the tactics to squeeze a criminal to give up other criminals, this has been done since laws were instituted in a civilized country. Why it has to be something cheap or a charade can only be explained by a Trump supporter who would let every criminal connected to Trump go free if they believe convicting them is harassment to the President. It's not like Cohen isn't being convicted of crimes that has nothing to do with Trump. If during Mueller investigation, Cohen crimes were also found, it appears that his team did the right thing and sent it to the State AG.
