The President in a Vise

If we were the judge a stretch to be sure we would reject the guilty plea in the one matter that intimately threatens Mr. Trumps presidency.

Particularly because Cohens plea puts the President in a terrible box.

Cohen, after all, is pleading in court that it was at Mr. Trumps direction that he paid for the settlements with the two women who say they had affairs with Mr. Trump and won financial settlements from him.

It features the fact that the presidents erstwhile lawyer is now being represented by, in Lanny Davis, long-time friend and adviser to the candidate Mr. Trump defeated for president.

Mr. Mueller is now going to use the prospect of a long sentence to wrest Manaforts cooperation in the case against President Trump.

So Mr. Trump will soon be in an unprecedented vise, as the world grows more dangerous by the hour.

It is why we have been saying that Mr. Trump should have put a stop to the special prosecutor the day he was named.
