The fixer squealed



He won't be getting a pardon, will he?

How soon can Hannity get Giuliani on the set to call Cohen a lying lowlife?
Michael Cohen, President Trump’s former personal attorney, pleaded guilty to a laundry list of charges in Manhattan Federal Court on Tuesday — including working at Trump’s “direction” to pay off two women who say they had sex with him over a decade ago.

Cohen, wearing a dark suit and a gold tie, winked at reporters and signed papers before informing Judge William Pauley of his guilty plea on eight counts related to campaign finance violations, bank fraud and tax evasion.

Cohen shook his head as the judge informed him he could face a maximum penalty of 65 years behind bars.

He knew the 3-5 was on the deal table.
Sources told CNN Cohen’s plea deal does not include a cooperation component — a revelation experts say indicate Cohen either has nothing of interest to offer or remains loyal to Trump.
Or not.
“For the president, it might be a sigh of relief that Cohen is not cooperating,” Renato Mariotti, a former federal prosecutor in Illinois specializing in white collar crimes, told the Daily News.
And that could be the point. Doesn't mean Cohen won't be cooperating. Doesn't even mean he's NOT.  In fact, an admission that he paid off those women at Trump's direction sure doesn't seem like he's protecting Trump.




It's only just begun.
