Jon Chait and others have noted a basic interpretation of the latest news from the Cohen scandals. Everyone is pretty much convinced that Cohen will flip on Trump and give up what he knows about Trump to Mueller or Schneiderman of whomever.
All of this presumes that Trump is guilty.
Think about it. If you believed Trump was innocent, you'd say that you welcomed the full disclosure from Cohen, because Trump has nothing to hide. Instead, they are all acting like Trump is guilty, because what else can you believe at this point?
The saddest, most maddening thing is that it won't make a lick of difference to the Trumpenproletariat. Witch hunt! No collusion! MAGA! I hope Adam Davidson's right and the narrative is on the cusp of changing, but I'm hardly optimistic.
