So, the plea is directly related to not shutting down discussions for building a Trump hotel in Russia as soon as they originally claimed into Trump's candidacy?
Nothing in this Cohen development about any assistance or rigging for the election?
The plea is for lying to Congress (Obstructions of justice).
But that is just what he's plead guilty too. I'd assume if he's fully cooperating and pleaing that there are more serious crimes he was involved with. This was also brought by Mueller's team and not the SDNY who raided Cohen's office a few months ago.
We won't know the full extent of what happened until Mueller issues his report and any sealed indictments are unsealed.
But we got 3 big fish in the Trump administration who've plead guilty and felt the need to lie to Congress and/or the FBI during this investigation.
