During his sentencing, Michael Cohen referred to dirty deeds that he had to cover up for Trump. Robert Mueller already knows what those dirty deeds are.
Cohen said during his sentencing:
Cohen began his remarks by stating that: "Today is the day that I am getting my freedom back." … "I have been living in a personal and mental incarceration ever since the day that I accepted the offer to work for a real estate mogul whose business acumen that I deeply admired."

Cohen:
"Recently the president tweeted a statement calling me weak and it was correct but for a much different reason than he was implying. It was because time and time again i felt it was my duty to cover up his dirty deeds"— Shimon Prokupecz (@ShimonPro) December 12, 2018
Michael Cohen didn’t say what other dirty deeds that he covered up for Trump, but it is a certainty that since Cohen cooperated with the Special Counsel, Robert Mueller already knows.
Very soon, the knowledge of Trump’s activities is going to be known by every single American as House Democrats are expected to call Cohen to testify in front of Congress. Michael Cohen has nothing to lose now. He is a convicted felon who is going to prison. He probably won’t end up doing the three years that he was sentenced to, but prison is still prison.
Donald Trump got a glimpse into his future today, and he may end up like Michael Cohen standing before a judge on a future date being sent to prison.
