Mob and Mafia thugs and fixers are routinely flipped. How can we trust them? They are all liars, just like the Trumpian mob thugs who employ them.
We can only trust them if we FOLLOW THE INCENTIVES and corroborate with supporting documentation and independent evidence. Promises of immunity or leniency are conditional on cooperation and telling the truth. If they are ever caught in a lie, they lose any benefit that had been offered them AND they have already confessed to long lists of crimes.
If they can provide the supporting documentation and their incentives are contingent on telling the truth, then it is no longer just one person’s word against another.
Bob Mueller brought down “Teflon Don” John Gotti and many other crime families who were all far smarter and more sophisticated than the orange loony in the White House. (And Bruce Ohr, still at the FBI, has built his career on fighting Russian organized crime, which is why Comrade TRUMPovich’s Russian puppet masters are so terrified of him.)

Um…either a lawyer’s lying or a politician’s lying. Stay with me – What if they’re – and I know this sounds crazy – both lying? (sigh)

Fortunately we don’t have to trust Cohen’s testimony. There are lots of other witnesses and lots of other evidence.
