Why isn't it a headline on cnn that the DOJ is accusing Trump of a felony? Also, why can't Mueller drop that charge now even if he still investigating Rusher?
Because it's more effective to scare the **** out of Trump and his stooges.

The whole “can a sitting president be indicted question”.
There's no chance Trump pardons Cohen, suzzer. This is a guy who just rage tweeted schoolyard insults about his former SoS because he said something kinda sorta negative. Cohen literally flipped on him in a criminal investigation.
The special counsel’s office credited Cohen with significant cooperation — including providing “useful information concerning certain discrete Russia-related matters core to its investigation that he obtained by virtue of his regular contact” with Trump organization executives during the campaign, as well as “relevant and useful information concerning his contacts with persons connected to the White House during the 2017–2018 time period.”
They revealed that Cohen told them of what seemed to be a previously unknown November 2015 contact from a Russian national, who claimed to be a “trusted person” in the Russian Federation offering the campaign “political synergy” and “synergy on a government level.”
Cohen told investigators the person, who was not identified, repeatedly proposed a meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying that such a meeting could have a “phenomenal” impact, “not only in political but in a business dimension as well,” the special counsel’s office wrote.
Cohen, though, did not follow up on the invitation, because he was already working on a Trump project in Moscow through a different person he believed to have Russian government connections, the special counsel’s office wrote.

So basically a Russian contacted Cohen to do the collusion but he didn't follow up because he was already doing the collusion with other Russians.
