Ken “Popehat” White (previously)
is a former US federal prosecutor whose explanations of the minutae of
law have been invaluable to my understanding of the legal controversies
swirling around Trump and his retinue.
White’s latest piece, delving into this week’s FBI raid on Michael Cohen,
the Trump lawyer who tried to secure the silence of adult actress
Stormy Daniels regarding her sexual affair with Donald Trump.
The key takeaway from White’s explainer is that this is a Big Deal;
moreover, it’s a Big Deal in precisely the way that many of the other
news-blips about the president’s legal woes were not. This isn’t just something that sounds scary to laypeople but bores legal experts. This is yuuuuuge.
