President Trump Weighs In On Michael Cohen’s Fate

President Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen was sentenced to 36 months in the slammer. He also has pay $1.4 million in restitution, as well as a “$50,000 fine, and forfeit $500,000.”

….guilty even on a civil basis. Those charges were just agreed to by him in order to embarrass the president and get a much reduced prison sentence, which he did-including the fact that his family was temporarily let off the hook. As a lawyer, Michael has great liability to me!
