Time.’ You mean he can do all of the TERRIBLE, unrelated to Trump, things having to do with fraud, big loans, Taxis, etc., and not serve a long prison term? He makes up stories to get a GREAT & ALREADY reduced deal for himself, and get his wife and father-in-law (who has the money?) off Scott Free. He lied for this outcome and should, in my opinion, serve a full and complete 1060 sentence.” Harm to Ongoing Matter█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ 1061 █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ On December 12, 2018, Cohen was sentenced to three years of 1062 imprisonment. The next day, the President sent a series of tweets that said: I never directed Michael Cohen to break the law. . . . Those charges were just agreed to by him in order to embarrass the president and get a much reduced prison sentence, which he did—including the fact that his family was temporarily let off the hook. As a lawyer, Michael has 1063 great liability to me! On December 16, 2018, the President tweeted, “Remember, Michael Cohen only became a ‘Rat’ after the FBI did something which was absolutely unthinkable & unheard of until the Witch Hunt was illegally started. They BROKE INTO AN ATTORNEY’S OFFICE! Why didn’t they break into the DNC to get the Server, 1064 or Crooked’s office?” In January 2019, after the media reported that Cohen would provide public testimony in a congressional hearing, the President made additional public comments suggesting that Cohen’s family members had committed crimes. In an interview on Fox on January 12, 2019, the President was asked whether he was worried about Cohen’s testimony and responded: [I]n order to get his sentence reduced, [Cohen] says “I have an idea, I’ll ah, tell— I’ll give you some information on the president.” Well, there is no information. But he should give information maybe on his father-in- law because that’s the one that people want to look at because where does that money—that’s the money in the family. And I guess he didn’t want to talk about his father-in-law, he’s trying to get his sentence reduced. So it’s ah, pretty sad. You know, it’s weak and it’s very sad to 1065 watch a thing like that.
