One rule for one, another for everyone else.

1. Start working on that tell all

[hlthe2b]

2. Only pleased because Trump lost in his attempts to keep him in while Manafort was released.

Cohen met the guidelines for release. Manafort did not.

[Cha]

20. Yeah, another FAIL in trump's column.

[Funtatlaguy]

3. Needs to do exclusive interview from home with Rachel.

16. My guess is that isn't allowed. And that restriction would have nothing to do with

Trump. Cohen will still technically be a convict.

[old guy]

4. Not surprising.

It's not like we have any laws or rules in this country any more.

[CaptYossarian]

6. He might end up being this generation's John Dean.

If the Russians don't poison him first.

[OKNancy]

5. Might be an unpopular opinion, but I'm glad

He seemed truly remorseful. I think he has paid a high price for getting involved with Trump and he knows it and admits it.

7. He spoke the truth to Congress when he told them how Trump sucks people in.

We can see that with the Republicans in the Senate. They are a perfect example of how Trump sucks people into worshipping him.

[Celerity]

8. +100000

[drray23]

14. Indeed unlike the others like stone and manafort.nt.

[Blue_true]

17. I believe that the move is the right move also. He did show sincere

remorse.

[obamanut2012]

18. Same

[Mister Ed]

21. I'm with you. His cooperation with the investigators was full and earnest. n/t

[Baked Potato]

9. He better get a body man who's good with security.

[Lucinda]

10. Stay away from balconies... n/t

[stillcool]

11. that's so weird...

first he's going to get house arrest...then he's in solitary and is not getting house arrest...and now he is, and all in what...6 weeks?

Trump Attorney Cohen in Solitary Confinement After Virus Release Bid Denied
Cohen asked for early release in March; a federal judge rejected the request in pointed terms
Published April 10, 2020 • Updated on April 10, 2020 at 12:29 pm

It took a federal judge just one week to reject his petition in scathing terms.

"That Cohen would seek to single himself out for release to home confinement appears to be just another effort to inject himself into the news cycle," Judge William Pauley wrote.

"Ten months into his prison term, it’s time that Cohen accept the consequences of his criminal convictions for serious crimes that had far reaching institutional harms," Pauley added.

19. I think Barr was trying to keep him from getting out

[SharonAnn]

12. Good!

[FakeNoose]

13. I'd rather see him get out early

... instead of Manafort, or Stone, or Flynn ... or ...

[Blue_true]

15. My guess is that a lot of convicts that are in for non-violent crimes are being sent home

to serve out their sentence under house arrest. If they were smart, they would do just that to the "t".
