Any time for somebody who is being investigated to talk to a witness in that investigation. but where it could become seriously problematic and illegal of course is whether the president asked, demanded that michael cohen say any particular thing. certainly if that particular thing was not true. okay, we know that michael cohen is not particularly faithful to the truth. the president is not particularly faithful to the truth so if there was a meeting and the president was encouraging michael cohen to lie to the special counsel, this, of course, takes us back to the still controversial buzzfeed...
