(30,481 posts)I'm not as confident as everyone else that Cohen wasn't the ring leader when it comes to Trumps foreign ties. I have not been sold on that yet. I still have thoughts that Cohen was the ring leader and Trump was the stooge.
Still, I am probably in the yes column on your question as it is clear who currently has the power to damage the world.

(65,213 posts)From what we know, the guy is a slime ball but not sure anything he did was illegal, until he started trying to derail any investigations.
If he cooperates and makes the investigations more effective, then he at least in part, undid the damage he tried to do.

(5,480 posts)He worked with and enabled tRump's actions for a lot of years.
He doesn't need to go to prison for life, but don't let him walk just for turning in his co-conspirator.
Let him plead to a lower-level crime in exchange for flipping, but he definitely needs to serve some time and suffer financial penalties.

(4,066 posts)This has now happened. We have a morally, ethically, challenged and completely unfit person in the office of President. It will happen again.
We need to set the tone and the game for next time.

(62,444 posts)Among the roaches that were allowed to get away clean from the Nixon administration were such future luminaries as Karl Rove.
Cooperation can be a factor in sentencing, but Cohen appears to have been involved in plenty of his own irregular financial dealings which were not a part of his relationship to Trump.
