Michael Cohen now has an official cooperation deal with Mueller.

[pnwmom]

He didn't before, though he was trying to be helpful, they were saying. Apparently he has been helpful enough that they'll let him keep helping.

So, during the same week Mueller announces that he's lost a cooperator with Manafort, he announces that he's gained a bigger cooperator -- one who's worked for Trump for many years, and who the Steele dossier says traveled to Prague for him to meet with Russians.

And, coincidentally (or not) a Chicago Alderman who was been helping Trump lower his taxes in Chicago since 2006 got his office raided today. That's interesting.
