So a guy refusing a pardon can somehow convince the Judge to put him in prison anyway? How does that work?
The accused prefers to clear his name via trial. It’s a gamble.
Unless a pardon specifies that the accused was innocent, a pardon is an admission of guilt, if accepted.
Cohen has obviously decided that it’s better to be in jail, on Hillary’s side - on the side that’s trying to destroy Trump - than it is to be pardoned by Trump and free. Better for his health. Better for his family’s well-being and health. Hillary takes care of helpers. What she does to those who aren’t helpful...well, that’s all a part of history.
Heh, you think Hillary’s NOT running again? LOL.
