Michael Cohen called on the DOJ not to worry about looking political and to prosecute Trump for tax evasion.

Cohen said on MSNBC’s Deadline: White House:
Our democracy is on the line. Plain and simple, what are we worrying about whether or not — the same people who are Trump supporters will complain no matter what unless he is completely exonerated for crimes that we all know that he committed. They’re going to continue to complain. So let’s just ignore it and let’s hold him accountable for actual crimes that he committed.
We don’t need Donald to play the victim. We don’t need to make up crimes and allegations, we know exactly what he’s done wrong. And if, in fact, that they’re concerned about oh, it’s coming too close to mid-terms, it could be impartial or it could be perceived that way, it could affect the 2024 election, let’s put this all aside.
Go for the low-hanging fruit. I say it all the time. Go for the low-hanging fruit. Tax evasion. We’ve got him.
Cohen is right. The DOJ is never going to come out of anything involving Trump without getting attacked and smeared. The only way Attorney General Garland could avoid the smears from Trump would be if he came out and said that Donald Trump is the most law-abiding person in history and he did absolutely nothing wrong.
That is never going to happen.
Garland is better than any special counsel, so he should oversee the investigation himself. Trump must be brought to justice, and it should be the attorney general, not some special counsel, who makes it happen.
