House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff has rejected Michael Cohen's request for help in an effort to delay and reduce Cohen's upcoming three-year prison sentence, saying he doesn't get involved in sentencing matters as "a practice."

"I don't get involved in sentencing matters as a practice," Schiff, a California Democrat, told CNN Monday when asked about Cohen's request. "I never have in Congress and that's been my policy."

Schiff said he was nevertheless interested in receiving any new information from Cohen, regardless of his prison sentence.

"We continue to encourage Mr. Cohen to provide us any materials that he has that are relevant to our investigation," Schiff said. "We will continue to do so and hope that he has additional information to offer."

10. I don't blame Cohen for trying to delay the inevitable.

But he should just get in there and get it over with and ride out the rest of the 45 admin. Write a book.

Nielsen is also a real POS when it comes to "brown" people.
