General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Roger [View all]H2O Man
(73,537 posts)Keep in mind that both Manafort (per Mueller) and Cohen (per SDNY) had areas they were unwilling to address openly and honestly with investigators. Part of that has been reported upon, much is redacted, and some is not even mentioned in the unsealed filings. Now, this might sound like speculation, but it is accurate:
Manafort refuses to identify connections between himself, the Trump campaign, and the Russian mob/intelligence, because he knows he and his family will pay a steep price if he does; and
Cohen refuses to discuss his dealings with the Russian mob/intelligence, for the exact same reason.
Considering that, it is okay that Roger was released for now. And it is a good thing he is running his mouth on television. The more he babbles, the better.
