The federal Bureau of Prisons has notified Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former personal attorney, that he will be released early from prison due to the coronavirus pandemic, according to people familiar with the matter and his lawyer.

Cohen is serving a three-year sentence at the federal prison camp in Otisville, NY, where 14 inmates and seven staff members at the complex have tested positive for the virus.

Cohen was scheduled for release in November 2021, but he will be allowed to serve the remainder of his sentence from home confinement, the people said. He will have to undergo a 14-day quarantine at the prison camp before he is released.

For real.

Why are they still behind bars?

Do their jailers WANT them to catch China’s Gift?

Because Trump hasn't pardoned them yet? Not sure what he's waiting for.

I don’t either. I can’t argue with that.

Get them out of there, President Trump.

People like Michael Cohen don’t belong in prison. They should be ordered to make restitution to all of their victims and then required to work until the debts are repaid. If they can’t find work or refuse to comply with the court directives, they should be picking up trash along the highway for the rest of their lives.
