I don’t think there will be collusion involving him directly. I think this latest Cohen admission is Trump trying to cover up a business deal that might create a conflict of interest investigation. That’s different from collusion.
It’s a classic “cover up is worse than crime” scenario.
I think he’s just dumb enough to have had no idea there was a crime/fraud exception to atty/client privilege, or that Cohen could be made to talk.
