When Cohen is indicted he could be facing life in prison.

He is in his early fifties I believe. Mueller is going to throw the book at him. Bank fraud, wire fraud come with long prison sentences. I'm sure there will be many more charges.

Will he sing like a canary is the question? If he does sing the only way Mueller will make a deal with him is if he gives up Trump. Cohen should be indicted within the next few months, about the same time the Manafort trial begins.The heat on Trump is going to pick up by the end of the summer leading up to the election.

New York is ahead of the pack in having legislation dealing w/ financial fraud type issues.

That way, a pardon by idiot RUMP won't work.
