Michael Cohen Is Now in Jail. Will Trump Join Him After He Leaves Office?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Despite his best efforts, Michael Cohen reported to prison on Monday. The former personal attorney and “fixer” for President Trump will serve three years for a host of crimes, most notably violations of federal campaign finance law stemming from pre-election hush money payments to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal, both of whom allegedly had affairs with Trump.

“I hope that when I rejoin my family and friends, that the country will be in a place without xenophobia, injustice and lies at the helm of our country,” he told reporters before departing for Otisville, New York, where he will be held. “There still remains much to be told, and I look forward to the day that I can share the truth.”

Cohen’s quasi-righteous appeal for the nation to heal itself is nothing new. Since he began cooperating with Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, Cohen has painted himself as a victim of Trump’s charm who actually, in fact, as it so happens, is opposed to everything the president stands for. While testifying before the House Oversight Committee in February, he labeled Trump a “racist,’ a “conman” and a “cheat” who essentially swindled him into carrying out his misdeeds for a decade. Take it for what you will.

His claim that “there still remains much to be told” is also nothing new. Last month, Cohen’s attorneys sent a letter to congressional Democrats saying that their client had just discovered a new “trove” of documents that could assist ongoing investigations into the president. Cohen’s prison sentence would need to be “substantially postponed,” however, so that he could sort though the new documents and pick out what could be helpful to Democrats. They didn’t bite, but that doesn’t mean the book has been closed on Trump being held accountable for his alleged role in Cohen’s crimes.

1. Best Efforts? Had he told the complete truth from day 1, this all ends differently for everyone.

2. I think trump belongs in a Supermax

Just my opinion.

[justhanginon]

5. How about under the Supermax? That would be my preference

although that would preclude the satisfaction of the millions who want the privilege of pissing on his grave no matter how long the line may be.

4. He is a convicted criminal. Yeah, we'd hoped he would take down the Cretin, but

that wretch is still free for now.
Bottom line, Cohen deserves what he got.

6. Trump

8. Only if he loses in 2020

If he wins he can run the clock out of the obstruction of justice charges and the Individual 1 stuff
