Three years

Doesn't sound like a lot to me, although I understand that's pretty much what some people who understand sentencing guidelines (in this case 51-63 months) were expecting.

I hope he provided them with everything necessary to clear up at least three other investigations.

President Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, was sentenced Wednesday to three years in prison after pleading guilty to tax fraud, campaign finance violations, and lying to Congress. Prosecutors said some of those crimes were done on Trump's behalf and others were directed by Trump himself.

At his hearing in lower Manhattan, an emotional Cohen told the judge that he covered up "dirty deeds" for Trump in acts of "blind loyalty."

"I take full responsibility for each act that I pled guilty to," Cohen said, "the personal ones to me and those involving the President of the United States of America."

Trump tweet soon: "Completely clears Trump, thank you!"

US District Judge William Pauley, however, made clear that Cohen's status as a lawyer meant that "should have known better." Despite his cooperation with the special counsel's investigation, Pauley found that a "significant" prison sentence was appropriate.

I don't think three years is "significant". Let's have a look at some people who went to prison for victimless crimes like merely having pot in their possession. Or maybe smocking it.



Well, for three years he will anyway.  Beginning in March.
