Here we go again... on another tangent, people like to throw non relevant to the topics. to Imply Trump is a horrible human and committed crimes. NOTHING relevant to the actual topic but.....down the same predictable road.
1) YES, If Trump is protected by some kind of DOJ guidances, than yes, Trump may be in for a ride after he is out of office..... I do have a feeling that once he is finally out either January or 4 years from Jan 2021...... People will just be glad he is out and doubt he would face charges... but thats my opinion.
2) Michael Cohen, Went to Jail for; MULTIPLE reasons, and the "arranging payments to silence a women" was the smallest of charges.
1) Tax Evasion Scheme - (5 counts)
2) False Bank Statements to bank - (1 count)
3) Campaign Finance Violation - (1 count)
4) Unlawful Corp Contribution - (1 count)
Later plead Guilty to Lying to Congress.
Sentenced to 3 years in prison
Here is the Charging break down
- For the charges from New York prosecutors: Cohen's guideline range is 51 to 63 months in prison
- For the special counsel charges: The guideline range is zero to six months of imprisonment
Keep in mind for the 8 counts he plead guilty to the most egregious is the 5 counts of Tax Evasion and the Worse sentencing is the Fals bank statement to bank which carries a 30year max sentence, the others are all maxed at 5 years.
Mueller wanted 0- 6months of prison.
NY prosecutor Avg, was 57months or 4.75 years Jail. He got 3 years.
now the Seriousness of the Campaign Finance Violation was the smallest and weakest of all the counts he plead guilty to.
So to say this is earth shattering and ground breaking..... Mueller wanted 6 months for 8 counts he plead guilt too and LYING to Congress and Mueller.
Again I say the precedence based on the FEL violations.... fines.... PERIOD. What? are you implying Trump should get the MAXIMUM 5 years for the FEL violations? Is that what you are implying?
