President Trumps 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 Cohens legal team, the disgraced attorney promised to continue cooperating with Special Counsel Robert Mueller, whose probe Trump has dismissed as a witch hunt.
Cohens 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 wont take my oxygen away from me.
Cohens lawyers said that instead of keeping quiet and risking prison in the hope hed get a presidential pardon, their client decided to work with prosecutors.

The U.S. now really is not that different from the Soviet Union or Communist China.
Maybe, if we fix America’s Justus System, Cohen can get Meuller as a cellmate.
What happened to the attorney-client privilege argument? Sincere question. Does it not apply in this situation?
Don’t know in this case, but A/C privilege does not apply in the case of client supposedly committing a crime.
So what can Cohen offer Mueller, other than keeping the story in the headlines? My guess is, not much. Cohen discredited himself when it was found he recorded clients without their knowing. He is the last person Mueller should use as a witness.
It’s the most embarrassing statement I’ve ever made on here :)
Whether the article was written to give that impression or not, how could I think it was an 83 year old when SO MANY articles gave the impression that he was younger than Trump?
I made an appointment for a neuro psych evaluation already :)
Where in hell does Trump get to assert his attorney-client privileges? Rhetorical. I know it is if and when Trump goes on trial (which I hope NEVER happens.)
Cohen should pay for spilling his guts, including surreptitiously recording material, on a client. Hottest place in hell for him and for Mueller for feasting on such carrion.
Weasel Mueller can`t pick his nose much less his witnesses.
His old man can visit his hemorrhoids.

Cohen was never Trump’s personal lawyer.
He was a temporary company employee sent to process the planning of a new hotel. He was only a messenger.
Cohen was a mob ‘councilieri’ all his life.

I agree.

Would you believe 43?
The character of a friend is marked by how he looks out for you. Cohens only concern is with saving his own skin.

How did President Trump come up with this goofball for a personal lawyer anyway?
Sorry Dad. Your son has no morals and deserves jail time. He had all the privileges in the world and chose to do wrong thing. You can visit him in jail if your short of breath.
The media kept playing up the “Trump’s personal lawyer” angle, but who know exactly how many “personal” lawyers Trump employees. I’d imagine it’s more than one.
You think Cohen is 83?
Is there a fountain of youth in your backyard?
