Deputy US Attorney Robert Khuzami on Cohen's sentencing:

"His day of reckoning serves as a reminder that we are a nation of laws, with one set of rules that applies equally to everyone.”
FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge William Sweeney: "As we all know, the truth can only remain hidden for so long before the FBI brings it to light."
IRS-CI Special Agent-in-Charge James Robnett:

“Today’s guilty plea exemplifies IRS Special Agents' rigorous pursuit of tax evasion and sends the clear message that the tax laws apply to everybody." 😬
These quotes come from this SDNY press release from August 21. It was re-sent this morning from their comms office. justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/m… SDNY will issue a new press release later today on the sentencing of Cohen.

Manafort was convicted of eight felony counts in Virginia. Crossing border illegally = a misdemeanor. Seeking asylum = not a crime.
(Also, his children are in their 30s.)
(Also, not sure why I'm even bothering ...)

It's the story of family fleeing danger in their home country, crossing borders illegally on foot to eventually take refuge in the United States.
Loads of Americans watch and celebrate this story every year.
It happened again last night ... it's #TheSoundOfMusic.

This is her experience
I arrived at midnight on Saturday the 10th and met the other three U.S. immigration attorney volunteers whom I was going to work with for the weekend - Rebecca, Charlene, and Graham. That was the entire legal team for those days, for over 5,000 people in the caravan.
