Clinical Associate Professor Cheryl Bader was quoted in a Newsweek article about Michael Cohen’s recent plea deal and what it means for President Trump.
Cheryl Bader, an attorney and law professor at Fordham University, told Newsweek that the case may be that prosecutors have already determined that Cohen wouldn’t be such a “valuable witness” compared to the evidence they’ve already gathered.
Bader said that the prosecutors may also feel “that he’s sort of damaged goods anyway, so engaging in a cooperation agreement wouldn’t make sense for them strategically.” She also didn’t rule out that Cohen might not have wanted to cooperate at all.
