“OK... what do I have to say again in order to not go to jail for 10 years? Could you please remind me?”

It’s time to go scorched earth on every leftist lawyer and Democrat front soros to Clinton to Hogg.

They want to destroy attorney client privilege - let them live by it.

could be as simple as a guilty plea in exchange for a more lenient sentence.

CNN saying sources tell them COHEN is not expected to cooperate with government ... both of parties agreed to skip a trial

They may want something to report on if the Manafort jury doesn’t convict (or not on very many counts).

If so, they can report instead on the Cohen threat to testify against Trump. That will be the new headline.

IMO Cohen is a bigger scumbag than Manafort. Plus he has closer ties to Trump.

If you thought the Manafort Trial was a dog and pony show, just wait. You ain’t seennothing yet.

Yeah... Because he knows all about the Russian’s and the collusion... NOT! But he probably does know what color underwear Stormy wears on any particular given day.

The man is a joke and looking at serious jail time for tax evasion. Being rich is great, being rich and avoiding taxes is even better... Being rich and avoiding taxes via criminal activity is jail time.

So, it sounds like they are getting nothing from Cohen on Trump?

Is Michael Cohen on the level of Tom Hagen or Fredo?

I don’t think that’ll happen. Cohen is a scumbag. A traitor to Trump.

IF he does plead guilty = no trial, then he likely will get either immunity or a suspended sentence.

In exchange for damaging dirt (true or not) on President Trump.

This is not a Mueller case right? This is in NY courts.

Cohen was mainly involved in payoffs to porn stars, not any meetings with Russians. He was not even invited to the meeting in Trump Tower with Don Jr.

Still no evidence of Russia collusion by Trump campaign after 2 years of investigation by angry democrats on Mueller team..

I just heard on network radio news Cohen described as Trump’s “enforcer.” I guess saying that he was Trump’s lawyer might remind people of the violation of attorney-client privilege.

If Mueller believed that Cohen would give him anything really bad on Trump he wouldn’t have passed the case to other prosecutors.
