Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen may not get released early due to new prison policy
Published 49 mins ago on April 21, 2020By Matthew Chapman

On Tuesday, Politico reported that the Trump administration is changing its mind on a planned COVID-19-related prisoner release policy — and that could spell bad news for two of his former associates.

Apologies as I cannot get more to copy. More at link. Wonder what's up with this?

Oh well, do the crime & enjoy the time.

1. Can't wait until trump does The Time.. Michael Cohen is

writing a Tell All Book "pulling no punches" due to be out before the election.

So I wonder why trump doesn't want him out of prison?

4. Could well be the reason, Cha!

What a pathetic man boy Cohen is. Did you hear his reason for writing the book? He "feels betrayed" by dump.

Cripes, why can't these people grow up?

Guy has a serious daddy complex.

WTF did he expect? 😳🤯

[Cha]

7. As long is it excoriates trump with

the truth.. I'm grateful he "felt betrayed by trump".. the orange clusterfuck needs Blowback from those he betrayed.. what did he expect?

8. IKR?

But I have the feeling with Cohen that if dump schmoozed jim with bs, Cohen would screw the country for his daddy. Sock people. Really clinically sick.

10. We shall see.. we'll have to remember this

when MC's book comes out.. if it does.. and see how it impacts the election if at all.

I hope it has something worthwhile about how he cheated to get rigged in. With receipts!

11. I'm hoping he has it written & in safe hands

To announce before it is written would be foolish, but, well rationality does not apply when complexes are constellated.

[Cha]

12. Yeah, he already announced it.. so it was foolish.

He's working on it supposedly and yes I hope he keeps it safe because as we know.. trump & his cult are capable of anything. Looking at you, putin.

13. Indeed!

He is trying to hurt trump by annoucing book in retaliation for being let down by the con.

🤮

2. Much as I think these two, particularly Manafort, need to pay for their crimes,

America's prison system needs a major re-think, and COVID-19 is teaching us about that.

5. Likely

But when people behave in radically anti-social ways, they need to live in cages. Really a sad concept, but I don't want to live among them or have them inflicting more harm on innocent victims. JMO. ✌

6. True, I have no love lost for them. I don't particularly care if they stay in there

However, I work in mental health and see jail patients once a week by zoom. This is what we are doing to people with mental health issues and substance abuse issues, especially if they are poor or minorities.

Spoke to a parent of one of my clients last week that did not show up for his appt, to find out that he violated probation and was sent back to jail. He has a pre-existing condition. And by the way, the violation is something I would consider minor. So in a time when the virus is spreading, you send a person with mental health issues who has a pre-existing condition to jail for a minor infraction?


Dad has been trying to get his case in mental health court but the pushback from the court is that he does not qualify for diversion/mental health court programs because he's too smart!
What the hell does being smart have to do with mental health?

9. Grrrrr

Horrible the way the system conveniently ignores mental health! 🤬

3. Good. And rejail Gayes, too.
