Cohen talked into pleading guilty to what looks like a non-crime.
He gets a maximum of 2 years for crimes that could have added up to 80 years by claiming he and Trump committed a campaign finance related crime.
Really, Redstate?

Stocks are an indicator. They are way up today as Wall Street knows this Manafort & Cohen story means nothing for Trump.

That leads us to the next aspect of this. Just because Cohen has plead guilty to two counts of campaign finance violations does not mean they were actually violations (well get to that angle shortly). This is where the 65 years on the other counts comes into play. How does someone facing that kind of jail time end up pleading out for only 3-5 years? By telling prosecutors what they want to hear. Cohen did just that with his statements on Trumps supposed intent while he and the prosecutors know they wont have to actually prove it.
Also in question is just how concerned Lanny Davis (Cohens lawyer) was about his clients welfare here. Lanny Davis is a notorious Hillary Clinton booster and fixer. He had his client plead guilty here to two counts that arent even likely crimes. Lets talk about that.

There you go. That explains it perfectly.
Amazing what the Federal Government can accomplish when they raid your office and shake you down for all the petty statutes you violated over the course of your life.
This is the Tyranny that our Founding Fathers were trying to prevent.

The feds extorted him to give the DNC media and hack politicians a tool to embarrass and beat on the president with.
It is despicable. The collective of all his and Manafort’s crimes don’t equal any one of the worse 5 Hillary crimes. Same for Bill, Obama, Val Jar, etc.
It is easy to lose faith in our justice system.
This is the best article on this I’ve seen to date.
