Mikey goes to jail
by digby
What a sad goombah. It’s got to bug this guy that he’s going to do all this time while his criminal boss gets away with murder. But that’s how it goes when you join the mob. And Trump has gotten away with his crimes all his life.
I hope he watches his back. Godfather Trump called him a rat and there are people in federal prisons who take that very seriously. (He’s going to be in a minimum security prison so it’s less likely, but you never know.)
Michael Cohen, the former lawyer, media attack dog and fixer for President Donald Trump, said Monday there “remains much to be told” as he heads to prison to begin a three-year prison sentence for crimes including campaign finance violations related to hush-money payments made on Trump’s behalf.
Cohen walked into the Federal Correctional Institution, Otisville around 11:45 a.m. A minimum-security prison camp at the prison, in the countryside 70 miles (113 kilometers) northwest of New York City, has become a haven for white-collar criminals.
“There still remains much to be told and I look forward to the day when I can share the truth,” Cohen told a crush of media outside his New York City apartment before getting into a waiting Cadillac Escalade for the ride to prison.
In a shot at Trump, he said he hoped when he is released, “the country will be in a place without xenophobia, injustice and lies at the helm.”
Cohen appeared to read from a prepared statement and didn’t answer shouted questions. He stumbled on the way to the SUV as reporters and photographers jostled around scaffolding and scuffled with his driver.
Cohen’s lawyer and spokesman, Lanny Davis, said Cohen would continue to be available to cooperate with law enforcement, though it’s unclear how much his cooperation is wanted.
You never know …
