Might have something to do with the whole
cover up that makes the things Mueller has found thus far look like literally less than nothing, particularly given how the whole thing has been a total nothingburger thus far.
During the campaign, Cohen played a central role in two similar schemes to purchase the rights to stories – each from women who claimed to have had an affair with Trump – so as to suppress the stories and thereby prevent them from influencing the election. With respect to both payments, Cohen acted with the intent to influence the 2016 presidential election. Cohen coordinated his actions with one or more members of the campaign, including through meetings and phone calls, about the fact, nature, and timing of the payments. (PSR ¶ 51). In particular, and as Cohen himself has now admitted, with respect to both payments, he acted in coordination with and at the direction of Trump. (PSR ¶¶ 41, 45). As a result of Cohen’s actions, neither woman spoke to the press prior to the election. (PSR ¶ 51).
That, right there (your "nothingburger") makes Trump a criminal. The prosecutors at SDNY and the SCO don't just have Cohen's word for this, they have documentary evidence, and supporting Grand Jury testimony from other witnesses.
Its going to come as a real shock to you, but its looking more and more certain that the 45th President of the United States is a criminal, and a recidivist one at that; one who has committed multiple felonies and continually lied about it.
There are also likely to be a lot of people going down with Trump. Remember how Cohen admitted to lying to Congress? Well it turns out that there was quite a number of other people who testified in front of the same Congressional panels, on the same materials, and were telling the same stories as Cohen... Oops!
Have you given any thought as to why so much detail has been included in these sentencing documents, and releases from the SCO. It is quite unusual for so much fine detail to be included in documents such as this. We'll, it ain't rocket science. Mueller knows that there will be a fair number of Republicans (mostly Trump sycophants such as McConnell and Grassley) who will want to bury his final report so that it never, ever sees the the light of day. What Muller is doing is making sure that key information gets out into the public arena. It would seem the only parts that have been redacted are those pertaining to ongoing criminal investigations (presumably so that the targets are not tipped off as to what Mueller already knows). Those redactions will become public-facing once all the shoes have dropped... and when that happens, your Dear Leader is going to find himself up **** creek in a barbed-wire canoe!
