[CatWoman]

just announced on MSNBC

1. So Did He Make A Deal With The Devil (Trump)?.....

Release me and I won't have the book published.

3. Apparently not. Judge said release him, period.

[CatWoman]

5. and the judge was pretty harsh towards Trump and company

[global1]

7. So Help Me Here....

Cohen was convicted and sentenced. I don't think he's served out the complete time of his sentence yet - so on what basis are they releasing him? Is it the Covid-19 excuse or something else? Good behavior? What?

[CatWoman]

8. i think he was released early because of the outbreak

11. But The Outbreak Is A Hoax....

There's light at the end of the tunnel. It's going to disappear like magic. Trump will ultimately be right about this virus.

If they release Cohen for this outbreak - they need to release all those incarcerated for the same reason. We know that ain't gonna happen.

I got to believe that - even if this judge seems like he's being hard on Trump - that what we're seeing is 'slight of hand here'. I got to think some deal was made between Trump and Cohen. I guess time will tell.

10. He was released on home detention a couple of months ago.

He's not free or on parole, still has to serve his sentence but for now he can do it at home. The home detention order was on account of covid-19, so I assume that if the virus is eliminated from the prison he'll have to go back and serve the rest of it there. Yes, it's a better deal than most poor and obscure slobs get. But sending him back because he was writing a book was clearly bullshit.

6. the judge agreed he was re-incarcerated because of trump retaliation.

using the justice system to punish his enemies, how presidential

[duforsure]

2. Just heard it!

I wish him well ! Lol! The virus in our White House will start tweet whining soon , and claim Cohen's a liar to project towards him before his book comes out exposing a lot more trump crimes and corruption. Glad he's out. Get the book out, please. Can a civil suit be filed against them for doing this?

4. I Hope He's Learned His Lesson & Not Do Anything Stupid

that will play right into their hands like being seen dining out when he's supposed to be confined at home

[malaise]

9. Good

I detest him but Barr and the Con should be arrested for this one

[Johnny2X2X]

12. Judge slammed Barr

This was political and retaliation for political activity. Unreal and damning for Barr and Trump.

[ScratchCat]

13. This would be a good case

for impeachment of Barr, for starters, and Trump again for ordering Barr to do so. This, again, isn't even a grey area. The judge said they violated his civil rights; its a complete abuse of power, and this is in the criminal law realm!!

14. Seems like it.

[UTUSN]

15. wow

[triron]

16. I really expected this.
