      title：Michael Cohen alleges that the president directed him to break the law.

      first and last paragraph：A graft case；Trump's reaction to the indictment

      core content：('Transitional Sentence' = 'TS')

A congressman was indicted for graft.

[TS]Such juicy news barely rated a mention because Robert Mueller landed his hardest punches.

Trump's former campaign chairman was found guilty on graft and faced over 80 years in prison.

[TS]The bigger blow came in NY.

Trumps's former personal lawyer and longtime fixer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to graft and illegal potilical contribution.

[TS]America is now in largely uncharted territory. Two similiar cases: a former senator used illegal money to hide his affair; Nixon resigned from the presidency.

[TS]Trump has not reached that point. Congressional Republicans still stands by him. Their support may soften if Trump lose in November's mid-terms.

Trump has broken faith with voters: no corruption.

Cohen is eager to tell prosecutors what he knows and wouldn't accept a pardon from Trump.

Trump threw a tweet tantrum again : to praise crinimals and deride presecutors.
