NEW YORK (AP) — Michael Cohen, who was former President Donald Trump’s longtime personal lawyer until his 2018 arrest, said Monday that his three-year prison sentence — mostly spent in home confinement — was over as he took another swipe at his former boss and vowed to continue cooperating with law enforcement probes.

A smiling Cohen emerged from Manhattan federal court after signing documents and speaking with authorities about his upcoming three-year term of supervised release.

“I feel great today. It’s been long overdue,” Cohen said to a collection of camera crews alerted to his presence by a tweet he had sent Sunday.

Cohen was sentenced to prison in December 2018 after pleading guilty to campaign finance charges and lying to Congress, among other crimes. In all, he spent about 13 1/2 months behind prison walls and a year and a half in home confinement. His time was further reduced through good behavior.

4. LOL, that was funny.

Cohen was not a saint, but he paid for the buffoon's crimes, the buffoon should have paid as well. I am still hopeful the buffoon will be made accountable for all his crimes.

2. Good now he can explain why his cell phone was in Prague* in August/Sept 2016 at the same time ...

.... the Steele Dossier said that Cohen was there to meet and pay two Russians who were working
to make Trump President in 2016.


* Cohen's cell phone allegedly "pinged off" of cell towers there. The alleged story also has Ivanka and Jared there
too.

A black woman in texass for 5 years in prison for unknowingly voting while not allowed to, this guy corrupts the government and gets 3 years?

This is why we have BLM.

5. Spent all of 13.5 months behind bars

The rest was lounging around his home and then was released early from that "punishment".

6. Nowadays he is going pretty hard against his former employer.

He lets loose as strongly as possible on his "Mea Culpa" podcast.

He does not soft pedal his own role. He owns up to it and is trying to make amends. He has been cooperating with the prosecutors and revealing the inside of Trump world better than anybody else possibly could.
