1. He is on his way

to prison right now.

[mobeau69]

4. Rikers Island's probably chilly this time of year.

[vlyons]

2. That's not nnearly enough

Even if he did flip on Loser

[GoCubsGo]

7. Normally, I'd agree with you.

Except that he's spending those five months at Rikers Island, which is so awful, it should have been shut down decades ago. I have a hunch that things will be so miserable for him, he'll sing even more than he already has when he gets out.

8. 5 months in Rykers equals a year at least in a minimum security federal prison.

The place is a hellhole, probably should be shut down.

9. According to Michael Cohen

he did not flip, he lied for trump on the stand.

[TheRealNorth]

14. My guess is that he understood that he was a dead man walking if he squealed.

[hlthe2b]

21. He really didn't flip on Trump though... and it appears he purjured himself.

[niyad]

3. An earlier post here said that, with time served, he would be out in about 100

days.

5. How can Trump's entire business be a criminal organization

but he's facing no consequences?

[maxsolomon]

16. You know the answer.

IOKIYAR.

[GenXer47]

6. CELEBRATE THIS!

Allen was the link between Fred Trump and Donald - like Dick Cheney was to HW and GW Bush. The real brains behind the operation.
Five months isn't enough of course, but he is 75. It's not gonna be easy moving from a high ride luxury Manhattan apartment to a cell.

[gab13by13]

10. He was supposed to be a cooperating witness

and yet according to Michael Cohen he lied on the stand to protect Trump. Trump is celebrating.

[GenXer47]

11. i know but take a little satisfaction

every day when you wake up in a home or apartment and he wakes up in a cell. Doesn't happen much in white collar American justice!
Anyway I'm cracking a beer for the occasion and I hope others will too.

[TheRealNorth]

15. Yup

These fuckers get every fucking break and protection possible.

[Javaman]

12. spending 5 months at Rikers?

he may not survive the "visit".

and, oddly, I'm okay with that.

[mobeau69]

13. LOL

[old guy]

17. i doubt he will be in a Rikers cell very long.

He will get "ill" and be transferred to the medical facility where in 5 months he will be pronounced cured.

[TxGuitar]

18. yes he'll suddenly be blind and need a walker

or wheelchair

[TheRealNorth]

19. Yup

He will find a doctor to weasel his way out.

[Walleye]

20. Funny those bone spurs kicking up so late in life
