Former federal prosecutor Gene Rossi said on Monday that if he were special counsel Robert Mueller, he would have already presented an indictment against President Trump if he were not the president.
“If the president of the United States weren’t the president, and he was just a 34-year-old, 35-year-old candidate, and his buddy [Michael] Cohen had pleaded guilty with all of the corroboration,” Rossi, who currently serves as counsel at Carlton Fields, told Hill.TV’s Krystal Ball and Buck Sexton on “Rising.”
“They got that Sept. 7 tape recording. They got [Allen] Weisselberg, who’s probably singing like a bird,” he continued, referring to the Trump Organization’s chief financial officer.
“I would have presented to the grand jury in August, an indictment against Donald Trump. The only reason he is not currently indicted is he’s the president,” he said.
Rossi, who has been critical of Trump in the Russia probe, is a Democrat and was defeated in the party’s primary for Virginia’s lieutenant governor in 2017. – READ MORE
