The "definitive" language used in the indictment against Michael Cohen must mean special counsel Robert Mueller has more corroboration against President Donald Trump – at least he had better – former New Jersey GOP Gov. Chris Christie said Sunday.
"Because everyone knows that Michael Cohen is not going to be the most effective or trustworthy witness on the stand, given some of his past statements," Christie told ABC's "This Week." "They sounded very definitive. In my experience, when prosecutors sound that definitive they've got more usually than just one witness."
With no evidence of collusion with the Russians presented, Christie said the Cohen payments at the alleged direction of the president is "far more perilous" for the White House than the unsupported Russian collusion narrative.
Firing at the president with a shaky single witness who is an indicted liar might be perilous to the special counsel, Christie surmised.
"Now the flipside for the prosecutors is they'd better have more than one witness on this, because if you're shooting at the president of the United States and the only bullet in your gun is Michael Cohen, well I think that's a problem," Christie to ABC News' Martha Raddatz during a panel discussion.
"So, I think it's going to be very interesting to see how this thing plays out."
The language of Friday's court filings will either reveal a strong case implicating the president, or merely expose the weakness of the case against him, according to Christie.
"There's no Russia collusion, there's been no proof of Russia collusion, and I don't think there's gonna be," Christie told ABC. "This is the stuff that should be much more concerning to the White House legal team and that language is very very strong and very definitive.
"So, the prosecutors better have corroboration."
