Cohen will plead guilty to 3 charges...

Bank fraud, campaign fraud and campaign finance violations. Will likely get 3 years. He was worried about having to lose his money and finances. CNN reporting this now.

I wonder what Mueller let slide.

Three years.

Everything Trump Touches Is Ruined.

he'll lose his law license as well. 3 years w good time probably 1.75 years or better. That's an insanely LOW amount of time. 3rd offense drunk driving is a 5 year felony. Go figure.

Last night I was mad that Papadopoulos wasn't completely honest with Mueller and his recommended his punishment be 0-6 months in prison. People go to jail for a year for having no updated car registration or smoking a joint in some states.

Yeah, it's an emu. So sue me. Just between you and me, I think I'd get out of the way of that thing.
