Michael Cohen begs federal judge for mercy after guilty plea
NY Post ^ | December 1, 2018 4:17pm | Michael Hechtman

Posted on 12/01/2018 1:54:38 PM PST by conservative98

President Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen begged a federal judge not to lock him after pleading guilty to crimes allegedly involving the man he once said he would “take a bullet’’ for.

In a sentencing memo filed by Cohen’s legal team, the disgraced attorney promised to continue cooperating with Special Counsel Robert Mueller, whose probe Trump has dismissed as a “witch hunt.”

Cohen’s legal filings, released late Friday, include praise from associates and relatives, including his father Maurice.

The 83-year-old Holocaust survivor wrote that his son “is the oxygen in the air that I breathe,” the New York Times reported. “I pray and beg, beg and pray that you won’t take my oxygen away from me.”

Cohen’s lawyers said that instead of keeping quiet and risking prison in the hope he’d get a presidential pardon, their client decided to work with prosecutors.

Lie. Fake news.

He’s 83 and he didn’t take one for the team?!?!?

I’m 50 and I’d do the years before I’d screw my president.

He may live another 20 years. He may die next year.

But he could have lived and died as a man.

Not a rat.

He should have held out for the pardon. They will screw him just as hard anyway.

A turncoat loolking for leniency.

The unmitigated chutzpah! I can see why Cohen is begging for mercy.

He’s not remorseful for what he did; he’s just seeking to shift the blame.

Jeez, what a real standup guy we have here!

I feel very badly for Paul Manafort and his wonderful family. “Justice” took a 12 year old tax case, among other things, applied tremendous pressure on him and, unlike Michael Cohen, he refused to “break” - make up stories in order to get a “deal.” Such respect for a brave man!— Donald J.

Michael Cohen stepped in front of the train and now he wants leniency? He probably shouldn’t have buckled and confesses to things that weren’t crimes.

Unless he had some incriminating pics on his hard drive and he’s doing his damnest to keep that out the news.

The character of a friend is marked by how he looks out for you. Cohen’s only concern is with saving his own skin.

Won’t do him any good in the end. Why should Trump show him love?

I agree Mr. President. Hope he gets a pardon.

This was inevitable as soon as those who knew him personally said Cohen would never stand the pressure. Weak man.

Mueller will throw him away once he has squeezed him for everything useful.

When his usefulness is over, he’ll have the rest of his life to think about his choices.

Its in times of crisis when we are truly tested.
