President Donald Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen sounded a defiant note in a published interview as he prepares to report to prison, remaining outraged he was prosecuted and his ex-boss wasn’t, according to the New Yorker magazine.
Cohen in August pleaded guilty to charges including campaign-finance violations for arranging hush-money payments during the 2016 election to two women who had alleged sexual affairs with Trump. Here’s what Cohen told the New Yorker: ‘You are going to find me guilty of campaign finance, with [Karen] McDougal or Stormy [Daniels], and give me three years — really?” Cohen said. “And how come I’m the only one? I didn’t work for the campaign. I worked for him. And how come I’m the one that’s going to prison? I’m not the one that slept with the porn star.’ Michael Cohen Trump has denied the encounters with pornographic actress Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal.

You should have tap it before you got locked up.....dont drop the soap in the big house...bubba's going to love you...
Maybe he can read that book about the boy who cried wolf!
“Porn persons, please”
I didn’t realize sleeping with a porn Star was against the law...
Sleeping with porn stars is illegal? Cohen... stop with your FakeOutrage.
Umm..tax evasion? Umm..stupidly hiring lanny Davis who had you admit to campaign finance violation when in fact you didn’t violate campaign finance laws...
Because sleeping with porn stars is legal and being a rat isn't.
Because you are who you are
Is that against the law?
'Porn worker.'
People don't go to jail over sleeping with porn stars.....
Let’s go, NYAG.
Is it illegal to sleep with a pornstar?
Please, he's no angel. It'll probably take 3 years just to wash that Trump stench off.
Because it’s not illegal to sleep with a porn star, tax evasion... YES!
So sleeping with a porn star is grounds for imprisonment? And this guy is a lawyer?
It's not a bad question. That's not really a crime, but there is nothing for which Cohen is going to jail that Trump isn't equally guilty.
Sleeping with a porn star not a crime. Though I don’t think there was any “sleeping“ involved. F***ing a porn star no crime either. Paying porn star with campaign funds to stay quiet is a crime however to the best of my knowledge.
Good question
You are the CROCK and CROOK!
Rat
I thought he was a lawyer? He really can’t figure it out?
Why is he worrying to sleep with pornstar Problem with his wife?
Last time I checked sleeping with a porn star isn't a crime...
Because he cheated on his taxes (which is a crime)
Where does one start? Worst lawyer EVER!
He is the lier, convicted lier.... Should have been in prison months ago..
When you work for real crook and criminal you should have been extremely cautious but you were busy making that dirty money it’s pay back time
This is America - if you have $ & power you won’t go to prison - look trump, so you taking one for the boss bro!!!
Where would Ron Jeremy be if that was the litmous test....
Ummmmmm you broke the law
He lies all the time. Taxes etc.
Because sleeping with a pornstar 12yrs isnt a crime and you cheated on your taxes
It's not illegal to sleep w/ a porn star.
Bye, Michael.
a lot of people should be in jail if sleeping with a porn start is a jail able offence
