The only thing worse is to be a child rapist.

NEW YORK — Michael Cohen wants his three-year prison sentence reduced as a reward for providing authorities information about alleged misdeeds by President Donald Trump, according to court papers filed Wednesday in which he said his incarceration is “a powerful and humbling punishment.”
Cohen claimed in the filings in federal court in Manhattan that his continuing cooperation has included spending 10 hours with representatives from the office of Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. during three meetings at a minimum security prison northwest of New York City.
Cohen, the former personal attorney and fixer for Trump, said he was asked to help “corroborate the claims and actions” related to Vance’s subpoena of Trump’s tax returns, an effort the president is seeking to have blocked by the U.S. Supreme Court.
After once bragging that he would “take a bullet” for Trump, the 53-year-old Cohen turned on the president last year by meeting with federal prosecutors in New York and with the office of special counsel Robert Mueller, telling them he had lied to Congress to protect Trump. He said that in all, he has spent more than 170 hours meeting with “some eight different government agencies.”
The documents ask for a court hearing so lawyers for Cohen can argue he deserves to either have a sentence that he began serving in May knocked down to one year and one day or be allowed to serve out his existing term under house arrest.
He wrote that he still “painfully recognizes the need to appropriately atone for his misconduct,” and that he hopes to achieve atonement by performing community service.
He added: “For a man married 25 years with two children, being incarcerated is a powerful and humbling punishment.”
Both federal and state prosecutors declined to comment on Wednesday.

Throw 30 pieces of silver in the cell and leave a rope just laying around.
If you can’t do the time don’t do the crime....Barretta.
Cohen is sleaze. He’s right where he belongs. Leave him there.
Let the rat sit there and rot. Oh yeah, and Merry Christmas.
I argue that he is not where he belongs. Are you sure he belongs in a minimum security clubhouse?
Let’s re-charge him and give him another 10 years for that
He puts the scheiss in shyster
You don’t hire Lanny Davis, he employs you.

He spent all those years arounf Trump, and never learned anything about the art of the deal. Hint: get the quid before you give away the quo. Supper first — then sing.

LOL! Like Trump will allow that...
Put him in a straight jacket and give him an enema and 10 more years. Repeat each week.
Dante Alighieri created a special place in Hell for those like Michael Cohen.
