Woah! Folks are saying Michael Cohen is not cooperating, he's only pleading guilty for a lesser sentence.
Michael Cohen will plead guilty to bank fraud, tax evasion, and campaign finance violations. Looks like he will serve anywhere from 7-11 years in federal prison. Donald Trump will not pardon him because Cohen would be forced to testify and not plead the fifth, so I guess he's willing to serve a decade of his life to protect Trump.
Either that, or like Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen fears for his safety and the safety of his family if he were to cooperate.
Wow, so it's possible that TWO people close to Donald Trump will be found guilty (one by trial, one by plea deal) of multiple federal charges on the same day.
Just heard the same thing.
Although to be honest, perhaps there was no reason to reach a deal.
They probably have all the evidence they need.
As another poster said - could be a great day for justice.
. There is strong evidence that the illegal actions of both helped Trump (a) hide his adulterous involvement with a series of women and (b) win the election, with the corrupt assistance of Russia..
Why did Rod "Mr Peepers" Rosenstein say the Russians had no effect on the vote? Obama said the same thing. Were they lying?
So anyone that has stood next to a criminal at one time is accountable for their crime too.
Rosenstein will back that position no doubt.
Oh, come on, no one here is that gullible. Manafort and Cohen were criminals, and TRump was their best buddy. They were all in each others' pockets.
Glad to see Cohen turning - not entirely trusting his motives being his claim of love of family and country, but glad to see it, anyway.
I have no use whatsoever for Manafort - just read what his daughters wrote one another about him. He is corrupt in every way and utterly depraved in his appallingly abusive treatment of his brain-injured wife.
One is known by the company one keeps.
