An emotional Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former lawyer and fixer, was sentenced Wednesday to 3 years after pleading guilty to nine federal charges stemming from his failure to report millions of dollars in income making secret payments to women who claimed they had affairs with Trump.
One of the charges Cohen pleaded guilty to included a separate charge, stemming from Robert Mueller's probe into Tump's potential collusion with Russia, that he lied to Congress about his dealings with a proposed Trump Tower in Moscow.

That was exactly my point. None of the real facts matter because what’s getting played out is something entirely different.
i.e. “none of that matters on Hard Copy”
It’s not the narrative that anyone is going to hear.
Yep, totally agree. What Cohen should have done is tell Mueller to go F himself and Trump probably would have pardoned him. And next, round up all these scumrats and charge them with sedition. Besides Civil war thats probably the only way this nightmare can be fixed, but Republicans do NOTHING!!! Both houses and the WH and for the past 2 years Democrata have been stomping all over us as if they own the place
Because Trump keeps putting idiots in the positions that can actually do that.
“We will use every area of the law to investigate President Trump and his business transactions and that of his family as well,” Letitia James, a Democrat, told NBC News in her first extensive interview since she was elected New York Attorney General last month.
I always gotta go with T-Bone Walker on this one.
Cohen, et al are just a skirmish in the battle of Trump, which itself is really only a sideshow of the war against the West. As far as the globalists are concerned, native populations of people who have high expectations about economic circumstances, self government, cultural awareness and possess the means to defend those demands are enemy #1.
Oh how they dream of an entire world comprised of social stratification like Mexico. Nonstop persecutions with media encouragement/support play only a small tactical role. The real game is to get masses of low IQ denizens of the 3rd world moving across borders. Demographic destiny is the globalists' strategic nuclear weapon; everything else is just a distraction.
So, how does one make income just by paying people? Do they mean Trump paid him exclusive funds to pay off people? Like the congressional slush fund to pay off accusers?
They want to get Trump on this, though I think after some thought, they will realize that election fraud is a huge stretch in a House/Senate where members have done far, far worse. But who knows? They will however, take Cohen's GUILTY plea, and push the "unindicted conspirator" angle.
Cohen is an absolute scumbag. Sometimes, people like Trump need people like Cohen to take care of other scumbags. Trumps mistake was letting Cohen into his inner circle. Cohen immediately took advantage. His actions to sell influence (that he didn't have) to pharmaceutical companies, as well as others was a huge betrayal, and once that happened, I figured he would also sell out to Mueller. Sleep with dogs, wake up with fleas...
Cohen pleading guilty to the part that is a non-crime
______________________
Trump should pardon Cohen for only Count #8, for no other reason than to unearth all these questions about the crime
I think the phrase was garbled, word(s) lost.... it should have read something like “failure to reports millions of dollars in income AND making secret payments”
Since the payments to two bimbos were around $400K total, I believe and they had nothing at all to do with Cohen’s tax problems.
Journalism is dead.
For me it’s the Allman Brothers - because of the Hammond B3
Hes a rat, just a lowlife Trump had around that he liked, for whatever reason. All of Trumps life hes helped people and never asked anything in return. But he despises disloyalty and if I were Cohen Id be watching my back. Not to be scared of Trump, but the man has friends all over NYC, going back decades. He might be a well known billionaire and now the president, but he has lifelong friends and the vast majority are tough-ass blue-collar workers that I guarantee you are pissed this weasel stabbed their friend in the back.
The rest of the title :
“Michael Cohen gets 3 years, says Trump’s ‘dirty deeds’ led him to ‘choose darkness”
Initially I felt sorry for him, but now that I see he is blaming Trump, I am sorry he didn’t get more.
36 months in Club Fed with all the trimmings. Not much for a POS traitor.
Cohen, you chose wrong.
Enjoy your stay.
Loves me lots of B3 too but the Allman brothers will always be “Dreams”.
Welllll he’ll be in a minimum security “Club Fed” with white collar criminals, so he probably won’t be in much danger (alas)....
He can because this is illegal lawfare. They are threatening and torturing citizens with Federal power.
I neither like nor respect Cohen, but his rights have been trampled - like Flynn, Caputo, Manafort, et al.
First they came for Cohen, and I did not care because I did not like him... (not aimed at you specifically.)
