onald Trump may have just admitted to committing a crime in an interview on Fox & Friends, Barack Obama's former ethics chief said.
The president appeared on the show after his former personal lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to eight charges, including campaign finance violations. Cohen claimed in court that he arranged payments to two women who alleged they had affairs with Trump at the direction of the now-president.

Being overly confident that you know everything about everything is annoying to everyone around you but not really that big of deal, except when you're a crook.
Then you admit felonies on national television without realizing what you're doing.

Admit to his crimes
So, when Mueller lays it all out there is no shock value
To the public it is old news and Trump was actually truthful
He(and Rudy)has been doing this for a while
