Donald Trump’s long-time personal lawyer & fixer was just sentenced by a federal judge to 3 years in prison, including for crimes that he committed in coordination with & at the direction of the President of the United States.
Cohen testified that “blind loyalty” to Trump “led me to choose darkness over light.” Powerful reminder that the President of the United States is implicated in a federal crime. This is just the beginning: Cohen’s cooperation with the Special Counsel may reveal even more.
As the prosecutors said in court today, “powerful & privileged individuals cannot violate laws with impunity.” This is the bedrock of our democracy & system of law.
