Why does Michael Cohen need to stay out of prison just to give Congress some records? He can hand them off whenever he wants.
Also, what does Lanny Davis mean by “recently obtained?” Have these documents not been provided to prosecutors, who actually have some sway on Cohen’s prison time?
The NYT says prosecutors recently returned the records to Cohen

Michael Cohen's lawyers told Congress that he's now got extensive files that were pulled in the FBI raid & if they'll let SDNY know that they need him, he'll continue to cooperate-to stay out of prison. What do you guys think @ this? #FridayFeeling politico.com/story/2019/04/…

Cohen looks remarkably relaxed.
Cohen either winked to someone or has a tic.
Goddamn it. @CNN apparently has Michael Cohen's testimony staked out as well. Will evil journalism never cease?

Michael Cohen's sentencing hearing has begun. Adam @eorden and @jriley8832 are good tweeters from the courtroom to follow —>
Recall that federal prosecutors are asking for a "substantial" prison sentence of about three-and-a-half years. Cohen asked for time served. buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisg…
Remember that this is Cohen's lawyer saying this, part of an effort to claim the importance and bravery of his client's cooperation, in an attempt to get a lower sentence and without needing to provide any evidence.
