ACLU and lawyers sue to free ex-Trump attorney Michael Cohen

NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer sued Attorney General William Barr and the Bureau of Prisons director Monday, saying he’s being unjustly held behind bars to stop him from finishing a book that criticizes Trump.

The lawsuit on behalf of Michael Cohen was filed late Monday in Manhattan federal court, alleging his First Amendment rights were violated when he was returned to the Federal Correctional Institution in Otisville, New York, on July 9.

A message for comment was left with the Justice Department.

Cohen, 53, had been furloughed in May as part of an attempt to slow the spread of the virus in federal prisons.

1. Good! I hope everybody sues Barr

but I would rather see him impeached (or worse).

3. Jailed, as John Mitchell was.

I just read that Ron Johnson is laundering Russian info under the guise of investigating. The FBI has warned h8m twice about his so called witnesses. Russian agents.

Lock them up and throw away the key!

2. Thank you. I was just getting ready to post.

This is their legal brief. I was hoping they would step up. Not because I admire Cohen but Barr needs to be indicted himself, along with Trump And the rotten apples.
