Has he snuck out of DC for the weekend?

Can't wait to enjoy the impending tweet storm. His silence is just the calm before the storm.

I kinda doubt he'll be playing his best golf game anytime soon.

If Cohen is cooperating with Mueller? Then why is he being sentenced? That is counter productive to have Cohen testify against Trump. Or Flynn, or Poppy, or Manafort.


Usually the sentencing happens after they have been used to nail someone and then a lean or no sentence granted.

3 years really should have been like 8 to 10 year dude getting a very light sentence wow. He is a lawyer he knew what he was doing was illegal.

Agreed. Makes me wonder why they went so light on him?

I wonder if his testimony and interviews with SDNY and Mueller provided enough dirt on Trump to where they went easy on him.

Bingo. Mueller has nothing, but he doesn't want to admit it.

You know there are folks rotting in jail since the 90's for weed possession. Yeah definitely a light sentencing.

Yes, I think people are coming to that conclusion about the mainstream media. We're into the third year of fake Trump stories. That's why their approval rating is lower than Trump's.

Intelligent people have figured out their game. Ratings!

He would have gotten of free, if he would have corporate with the NY state.. he chose to withhold information to NY prosecutors.
Maybe he will turn around and give them the information they want now, after thinking about 3 years in jail.


He chose to corporate fully with Mueller.. so he is getting a lesser sentencing there.

Why do lawyers think they can get away with crimes? Unless you are a Clinton or a Dem it's impossible.

The lesson is: Pay your taxes.
