Trump says Michael Cohen deserves a 'full and complete' sentence

President Trump on Monday called for his former lawyer Michael Cohen to serve a “full and complete” sentence, weighing in on the fate of a onetime loyalist who is arguing that he does not deserve prison time for the criminal charges to which he has pleaded guilty.

“You mean he can do all of the TERRIBLE, unrelated to Trump, things having to do with fraud, big loans, Taxis, etc., and not serve a long prison term?” Trump said in morning tweets. “He makes up stories to get a GREAT & ALREADY reduced deal for himself. ... He lied for this outcome and should, in my opinion, serve a full and complete sentence.”

In a late-night court filing on Friday, lawyers for Cohen wrote that their client was a changed man who was cooperating extensively with special counsel Robert S. Mueller III as well as other prosecutors conducting probes related to Trump and his 2016 campaign.

Cohen pleaded guilty in August to five counts of tax evasion, one count of making a false statement to a bank and two campaign finance violations, admitting that he and the chief executive of a media company worked in the summer of 2016 to keep an individual from publicly disclosing information that could hurt Trump’s campaign. Two women had alleged extramarital affairs with Trump, which the president denies.

Just more projection...you can tell what he's worried about. You know, cause you told him what to say. Oh, the irony.

He's ruined. He's lost his business and he'll probably be disbarred. His legal expenses must be astronomical. He's facing many years in jail and profound notoriety for the rest of his life.

A pardon from Trump will not protect him from New York State which has cases pending against him.

Cohen knows how badly Trump has betrayed him. He's not working in cahoots with Trump the way that Manafort apparently did. Robert Mueller would bury him if he were; let's watch what happens to Manafort now that he's screwed himself.

Cohen is going to be an amazing asset in the cases against Trump. He'll be the gift that keeps on giving.

Just see his tweets.

But I look forward to him and several of his family members and associates serving full and complete sentences over the next few decades!
