They prosecute the papers first. Then later who are responsible for those papers? Maybe he’s cooperating partially to get 5 months instead if 15 years?

Think how much money the USA could have if all wealthy companies and people just paid their fair share. Everyone works so hard to be dishonest what if we all strive to be honest Yeah yeah Thats not going to happen but its a dream of mine. i am so ashamed.
Well actually the system doesnt work if there are no poor people for the wealthy people to get wealthy from. The aspiration to be wealthy is the same as a desire for others to be poor. The desire to have too much is the same as a desire for others to have not enough. That is the great flaw in the western capitalist model.
“Could implicate former president.” We’ve heard THAT one before far too many times.
@NBA1 What are YOU saying (and posting) for that matter? Because I’m seeing way too many emojis and not enough context.
As for me, MY context is that we’ve heard testimony after statement after “bombshell” after evidence. “This’ll get him.” “She’ll sink him for sure.” “He can’t get out of this one.”
And every single time it’s turned out to be nothing at all.
Every. Single. Time. THAT is what I’m saying. I’m sick of these hearings and investigations that turn up nothing and waste more and more time and money.
He damn sight better implicate every single one of them, not just Donald Trump. 🙄🙄🙄🙄
*This is what actually happened. This video is not for children, it’s shocking* ALLTIME.ML
Mr. Dunn – respect to you.
si….did ANY of you report it?
@Ver Coda you would think that they would. ive never seen one with high thumbs up count before.
They make me sick they get a slap in the hand all of those criminal including 45 should get the rest of their life in prison 🤬🤬🤬💩💩💩
So true! Anyone else would be sentenced to the full 15 years for tax fraud 💰, effing crooks.
What for?
@Kathy Abernathy what for what? 🤪
My 30 year old said that.
It’s a mere 100 days- if that. Anybody else charged of the same crimes would get years.
100 days for stealing a Snickers Bar if it were you or I
EXACTLY Right!!
Cohen must be enjoying life lately.🤣
Facts lol
Ya cohen is enjoying life lately just thinking of how to get Trump Trump Trump. Must be making alot of money from cnn.
I would gladly do 5 months for free education for my kids and a bunch of new Mercedes. What a small price to pay.
it will be under house arrest, not jail or prison.
@John Emacs
Yeah you are probably right.
Just so you guys reading this know,… there are people currently serving YEARS for writing bad checks and smoking weed. Please take all the time you need to let that sink in. The justice system is NOT equal for everyone.
@Tom B Yes Tom, that’s all we need, a freaking Ironstein to inform us!! That said Trump should be given s “NEVER TO BE RELEASED SEBTENCE!!” ..
And walking into the Capitol after cops wave them in.
If there’s a “win”, it’s a win for Weaselberg.
It’s a justice system which is criminal.
Cohen made a massive comeback from the dead, perhaps in another 2 or 3 years we’ll be seeing him smiling and laughing
I believe he is enjoying himself now. 😜
you’re not really keeping up.
America owes Richard Nixon a major apology for accusing him as being the most corrupt president in American history,🦨 trump has already earned that title and it continues to grow.🤔
You mean candidate Hilary Clinton and Biden?
Well, IT WAS TRUE at the time 🤔😂 Also, his apologists were a lot smarter. They didn’t grasp at straws and say “Whatabout the Blue Cheese served under a full moon in the Democrat ‘s nonexistent satanic basement in the pizza parlor” — 🙄🤣
They’ll give him home confined in his very comfy penthouse. Yeah, that’ll teach people to not commit crimes. Why not be left holding the bag when the punishment is kid gloves. Our justice system is a full on joke.
They should seize possession of the penthouse. 🙄🙄
“Weisselberg’s deal with prosecutors calls for a sentence of five months in New York’s Rikers Island jail, followed by five years’ probation. He must also pay $1.9 million in back taxes and fines, and testify under oath as a witness in the company’s trial.” CBS News
It seems ludicrous for them to allow Weisselberg to avoid implicating Trump in a plea deal.
Why even accept a plea if it doesn’t implicate the boss?
@Paul Ferrante let’s hope so. He must have so much dirt on them.
If there’s a “win”, it’s a win for Weaselberg.
@Diego motta I read that this could have the effect of shutting the trump organisation down and, I guess, they’ll have to pay back all those taxes, which would leave donnie without one of his cash cows. Another thing we’ll just have to wait and see.
Melania admits: “I call FBI”
Says she fears being buried on the golf course.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Don’t worry child, we’re just gona visit mama, now pick up that shovel.”
@TJ K
ROFL!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🍊🤡💩
His wife also you attack !!!
It’s just incredible how lenient the judicial system is to wealthy life long criminals
@dutchdna IF he survives Rykers……….
Doesn’t it make you sick
@rjd3wine He will. He’s white, rich and well connected.
@dutchdna Yeah, there is already talk about “special” protection.
14 FELONIES – 40 years of evading taxes?? 5 months in jail, HOW IS THAT RIGHT??? If someone had more than an ounce of pot on him, that person would get up to 20 years. What is wrong with the justice system in this country????
Money Money money !! That’s America.
It’s broken big time everything is about money if ya broke ya toast loool
Every time I look at Cohen I am amazed that the Individual 1 crime was just dropped. This guy was the servant who went to prison for a crime that he and Individual 1 did, and it was just dropped. Until the day Trump is shived in some hell hole, there is no justice in this country.
Best comment I’ve read Joe
Facts👍🏾 yep
Cohen has no effs to give. He’s calling it 💯
Imagine going to prison for a man that would screw you over without a thought! Insane!!
This is an important interview, and I agree with Mr. Honig: the plea agreement is bizarre. Partial “cooperation” and a guilty plea isn’t a “win” for the Manhattan DA; it seems more like a gentlemen’s agreement, with no teeth, when you have a top executive officer taking the fall in order to prevent the CEO from being directly implicated by the witness’ testimony. Something ain’t kosher here.
If you made a $ 1,700 mistake on your taxes in one year, would you get a hundred days in prison? Weaselburg got that for 1.7 million mistakes? Whiskey,
Tango, Foxtrot.
@past tense house of mouse Bravo, Alpha Xray! Echo that. (and by November, no more Golf, Hotel, Whiskey) … 👍😂
