3) Cohen may have been subject to witness tampering
"Cohen described the circumstances of preparing and circulating his response to the congressional inquiries."
That sounds like an accusation of witness tampering to former federal prosecutor Barak Cohen. Why else, he asks, would Mueller use a sentencing memo to detail insight regarding the former Trump attorney's interviews with prosecutors? Unless it's significant to the probe, it strikes him as an odd detail to include.

Instead, Mueller appears to be saying he has evidence relevant to his investigation describing directions Michael Cohen received before testifying.
"'Circulate' is an interesting word," McQuade added. "Who did he circulate this too? Cohen had a written statement [to Congress]. So did he write those things and send it around to various people to ask, 'Does this look right?'"
Aside from witness tampering, she said, such actions could amount to conspiracy to obstruct justice before Cohen's 2017 congressional hearing.
