    ABC News has learned that Michael Cohen has entered into a plea agreement with federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York.

    I don't have much at this point... watching MSNBC.

    There is a hearing at 4pm in NYC, where we will learn more...

    Probably Taxi stuff for now... don't know if there is any cooperation agreement at this point.

    Avenatti on MSNBC now... bet he's happy...

    On what? Trump isn't part of Cohen's private dealings...just like he's not part of Manafort's.

    Just had video of Cohen turning himself into the FBI office in NY.... Talk about some chummy looking fellows.. Handshakes and smiles all around...

    Even when turning yourself into the FBI, Cohen is getting treated better than probably any single day with Trump...

    Well, presumably the deal is that Cohen talks about Trump's private dealings in return for leniency.

    I have to assign somebody to monitor Trumps twitter feed in the next few hours.... He's reported to be flying to WVA this afternoon, so that'll be the time that his idle thumbs take over...

    Any volunteers?

    Just reported this is a straight guilty plea deal, NOT a cooperation deal.... I'm told that can come later, but it's not a part of today...

    The only campaign Cohen was involved in was the Dirty Donald campaign which means he is directly implicated.

    He has a 4:00 P.M. court appearance scheduled where he will submit his plea.He may possibly be incarcerated immediately and he may not the judge probably has discretion.

    It will be interesting to see whether he is still willing to talk with Mueller, as he reportedly said to several associates.

    This proves the case against Cohen was weak -- and Trump is completely vindicated.....

    The Red Wave is going to be huge this fall -- Mueller is toast

    Oh look, more fruit from the poisonous tree.

    All these cases should be thrown out and the Mueller investigation stopped unless proof a crime can be produced to justify the Mueller Special Counsel.

    Think of it, we have something as big and important as a Special Counsel investigating a duly elected President and no crime commited for the Investigation to begin with......
