“MULE FACE is a VICIOUS, EVIL, VILE DESTROYER of PEOPLE!”
Couple of guys.....Hatfil and Jewell agree with you 101%......
In other words, Mueller used the threat of ruination of Cohen’s wife to get him to “compose” a story (lie).
So who’s gonna prosecute Mueller? For that matter, when are we going to see indictments of people like Mueller, Rosenstein, Rice, Brennan, Clapper, and the list goes on...?
This is Mueller’s standard operating procedure for years. He interprets the law however he wants, for the political advantage of someone else in power.
Wake me up when a crime committed by a government official is actually prosecuted.
They got to Tommy Robinson by threatening his wife. They are totally disgusting. These are the people who starved millions of Ukrainians to death.
Anyone who thinks the DOJ plays by the rules anymore, hasn’t been paying attention. It’s a democrat infested political driven swamp backed up by judges planted by the democrats. Democrats are untouchable, unless they go against the party. Republicans are fair game. Democrats know that as long as they tow the party line, they’re safe. Republicans know if they go too far, some phony charges drop on their lap. Those are the rules, now go out there and have fun, kids.

Because: 1) It's the theoretical maximum, and 2) Even though the logical defense would be "My husband is a lawyer, and told/advised me to sign," Cohen's funds for legal defense were severely depleted or gone (remember, he lived large on borrowed money), and he was scared, because he knew he was undoubtedly going to jail.
Cohen was flipped by threatening his wife with prosecution. He was facing 70 years and could have been placed in a facility with violent offenders.
So they handed him a script to read for his opening statement and closing.
An indication of the political spin is they had Cohen plead guilty to the Stormy Daniels payment and nothing done there was illegal. It was done purely to damage Trump.
Spicer nailed it on Twitter when he posted that if Cohen had the goods on Trump he wouldn’t be looking at 3 years in jail. He’d have walked.
The government may have had some “evidence” showing she knew Cohen had inflated the value of the taxi medallion in order to secure the loan. If so, that would make her a co-conspirator in an effort to defraud a financial institution. Even if the government lacked such “evidence” to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, the prospect of her arrest and trial, with the attendant financial and emotion costs, may have pushed Cohen over the edge just as Ms. Patton suggests.
It’s a birdbrained story. Not because it may have been made by Mueller’s henchmen, but because of its ridiculousness.
Seriously. I don’t know when it turned into “Not Our Country” but it was clearly sometime in the remote past.
Good points.
? Any reasonably intelligent lawyer would know this and not subject himself to perjury on behalf of a rogue special counsel.
That means either this story is completely untrue, or Michael Cohen is an even bigger fool than anyone could’ve comprehended and the most incompetent lawyer ever.
My own conclusion is that this story doesn’t ring true. Cohen can’t be this stupid. I’m not a lawyer and hell, even I know it.
Show me one Democrat convicted of perjury in the Age of Trump. You can’t. Cohen plays for Team Deep State now. He has no fear of perjury. He brazenly lied to Congress AGAIN and nothing will come of it. Guaranteed.
For the most part the crime you just described would likely carry a penalty of 5 years and $5000 fine. Not 30 years.
Yep, sounds about right.
He actually spells it Cohn, but it is the same name. From my recent genealogy work I can tell you that Cohn was the most common Jewish name in Danzig during the late 19th century.
