Michael Cohen pleaded not to be hauled back into prison after US Marshals broke out the shackles when they took him into custody Thursday.
“I’ll sign exactly what you want me to sign, so I don’t have to go back to jail,” Cohen whined to the lawmen who proceeded to chain him and take him into their custody, his former lawyer and friend Lanny Davis said.
Cohen was brought into custody by the marshals at Manhattan federal court, where he reported Thursday morning to have an ankle bracelet attached and to sign terms of his new home confinement.
Cohen refused to agree to the first term of the home confinement deal, which would’ve barred him from speaking to the press and blocked him from publishing a tell-all book that he’s been writing while behind bars in an upstate New York federal prison.
When he refused to sign, federal authorities left the room and returned an hour and a half later with the shackle-carrying marshals.
According to Davis, when he saw the marshals emerge from an elevator, Cohen’s lawyer, Jeff Levine, turned to Cohen and said: “I hope they’re not here for you.”
“The next thing that happened was the Marshals said they had an order signed by someone from the Bureau of Prisons. The order was to arrest him and put him in jail, and they started to put shackles on him,” said Davis, who spoke to Levine after Cohen’s arrest.
“Michael reacted very quickly and said, ‘I’ll sign exactly what you want me to sign, so I don’t have to go back to jail,’ ” Davis said.
“The comment from one of the three Marshals, was: ‘It’s out of our hands,’ ” he added.

“Welp, ya couldn’t foller a simple rule...”
He’s a real dumb a**. I don’t think he and Trump were buds...he was just his attorney. I’ve had a jerk for an attorney, too. But he was a good attorney...
“What we have here, is a failure to communicate.”
He wasn’t Trump’s only attorney. He was more like a handy man.
If he was in home confinement, why didn’t he have an ankle bracelet on in the first place.
His mouth is always hanging open, like a Rainbow Bass in the catch cooler.
What is it they say? Better to keep your mouth shut and let them think you are a fool rather than speak and prove you are a fool.
When you push the envelope, then you deserve to pay the price.
Most attorneys specialize in a certain area, so someone like Donald Trump would have several to handle specific issues. Cohen was probably at the bottom of the list.
The weasels always want special treatment when the Feds slap on the cuffs
Kill people on the street, and they’ll hale your graffiti
a mural. Go out to eat when you shouldn’t and they’ll
toss you in prison.

He tawlked to de guys with bent noses.
Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.
To you men on here.. excuse this comment...
But the men in our country are well educated and so dumb it’s pitiful.. give push to shove and they don’t hold up well.. they don’t do anything well...
they’ve been feminize and that will never work... they are also lazy and spoiled .
And I have 4 adult sons.... i’m not partial... just hate stupidity. to whom much is given, much is required... if they are in a position of leadership of any kind... DO IT WELL or not at all!! Let a qualified do the job...
Yep. Just a high-level fixer, someone your people paid to make things happen.
Well, because then the Hillary Resistance wouldn’t be able to have him cause a well-timed incident to draw attention away from Chris Steele’s case in the UK implicating the Clinton campaign.
Why would a home confinement deal requirevhim to keep his mouth shut, or keep him from writing a ‘tell-all’ book? Since when do criminal investigators care what a convicted guy says or writes?
