Michael Cohen will be released from prison due to pandemic

[Leghorn21]

(CNN) The federal Bureau of Prisons has notified Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former personal attorney, that he will be released early from prison due to the coronavirus pandemic, according to people familiar with the matter and his lawyer.

Cohen is serving a three-year sentence at the federal prison camp in Otisville, NY, where 14 inmates and seven staff members at the complex have tested positive for the virus.

Cohen was scheduled for release in November 2021, but he will be allowed to serve the remainder of his sentence from home confinement, the people said. He will have to undergo a 14-day quarantine at the prison camp before he is released.

Cohen was notified on Thursday of his pending release, and his lawyer, Roger Adler,
confirmed it to CNN.

1. Manafort is trying for the same

but with no such luck. Stone is using the ol', "The jury pool was tainted" line of BS to get out of his predicament. The judges laughed.

2. He's the only one I'd like to see out early. Not Manafort or Flynn

Or Stone

[Mister Ed]

7. Yes. His cooperation was full and earnest. n/t

10. Is Flynn incarcerated now?

I was wondering about him.

3. They should do that for every non-violent offence prisoner. They shouldn't have t

to risk their life to serve out their sentence. At least let them stay at home till the virus risk is gone then if necessary, return to the prison to finish the reminder of their sentence.

4. "Coming up next. Michael Cohen commits suicide by shooting himself

twice in back of head, after pinning "Snitch' notecard to his lapel"

[roamer65]

5. Good for him.

He’s tying to atone.

6. I'm glad. He did give good info on Trump, and he does seem to feel remorse.

Manafort, though, can serve out his term.

8. I have no problem with this

nope

[UTUSN]

9. Good, so continue spilling, COHEN.

11. I think he was earnest in his warning to Congress about trump.

Time will tell. But I believe he knows a lot and could be helpful. I hope he spills his guts at some point. However, he could be in danger if they think he could be a threat.

12. I'm ok with this and I really hope he has learned and is a better person now

I hope he thinks of Elijah Cummings who showed sympathy for his family when he in trouble.
