Outrageous
But in reality, Cohen was sentenced Wednesday in U.S. District Court in New York City on several separate and unrelated charges.
Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison by a federal judge and was also ordered to pay almost $2 million in fines, restitution and forfeitures after earlier pleading guilty to multiple counts of business and tax fraud.
Just because you cop to a made up law doesn’t make it a law nor you guilty.
Weasel Mueller needs to have his leash choked up.
It does not matter, it’s just being used by the DNC and their media outlets to hit on Trump.
These crooks don't play by our rules.
Cohen got jobbed.
On tax fraud...he didn’t have much to stand on. Personally, I think his big issue was that he was creating himself as the ‘gate-keeper’ to the Trump administration, and he’d eventually function like the Clinton Foundation....where you’d pay something to get access to the gate itself.
Various characters have done this over the past thirty years and never gotten into serious trouble. But I think most just marginally screwed up on taxes. In Cohen’s case...he was planning this out and depending on no investigations occurring.
He should have had his license pulled Immediately!
Fox News Radio was gleefully adding that Cohen “paid off” several women on Trump’s behalf during their report of all this - suggesting that this, too, is a crime.
The smoking gun that proves it was not a campaign finance law violation is that the prosecutors had a “non-prosecutorial” agreement with AMI, the corporation that paid the $150,000 to the second woman. Now, why would the prosecutor choose not to charge AMI with the same “crime” that Cohen copped to? Because it was NOT a violation. They lumped all the phony charges in with the tax evasion, which was the REAL crime that Cohen is being punished for with jail time and fines. It’s all a scam with a political motive to embarass the President by implying Cohen is guilty because of the payout to women.
After accepting a deal by pleading guilty to a crime of which he’s not guilty, could his lawyers turn around and appeal his conviction?
