20. Being vulnerable to both Federal and State charges makes it hard to flip Cohen

Which prosecutor is going to get him to plead what offenses?

How do they assure Cohen that the other prosecutor won't bring charges against other offenses in the other jurisdiction?

How do they make the plea deal and immunity broad enough to give Cohen confidence that further charges won't be brought?
