Cohen argues it could be 'dangerous' to put Trump behind bars

Michael Cohen, a onetime personal attorney of former President Trump, argued it could be “dangerous” to put his former boss behind bars, advocating instead for a prison-like house arrest.

“He needs to be held accountable,” Cohen said in a Monday interview on CNN when asked whether Trump deserved jail time in any of his mounting legal cases. “Do I believe if it was anyone else that the individual would already be in jail, the answer is emphatically yes.”

“But because he was president of the United States, and for four years he was debriefed on a daily basis on our national security secrets, I personally as an American citizen would be concerned,” he added. “Because Donald is the kind of guy to sell any of that information for a bag of tuna or a book of stamps, and I do really mean that.”

Cohen, once one of Trump’s closest confidants, has since turned on his former boss — even serving as a key witness in multiple court cases against him. The most recent example includes the ongoing New York business fraud trial, where Trump and his adult sons are accused of manipulating the value of their assets in financial statements.

It might be just as dangerous to let him run free.

Might need to take some inspiration from some of his favorite leaders.

In the middle of Area 57 and is a faraday cage, or a certain formerly private island of the Virgin Islands. Same deal faraday cage to prevent any electronic messaging.

Get him into a place that will leak no "statements" from him, and a place that his insane followers can't get near.
