Daily Mail: Prosecutors demand Michael Cohen spend four to five YEARS in prison for trying to 'influence the election from the shadows' at the 'direction' of Trump - who insists report 'totally clears' him
* President's former lawyer should get 51-63 months, according to prosecutors, for a range of crimes including tax evasion and campaign finance violations
* Sentencing memo from New York prosecutor says Michael Cohen coordinated with the president to pay off two women so their stories of affairs were buried
* Says Cohen tried to 'influence the election from the shadows' and claims he didn't help Special Counsel Robert Mueller enough to justify leniency
* Mueller, though, spells out four ways Cohen was helpful and says a judge should sentence him to concurrent prison terms in two cases
A federal prosecutor told a judge on Friday that former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen should spend between 51 and 63 months in prison for a range of federal crimes including tax evasion and violating campaign finance laws.
He tried to 'influence the election from the shadows,' according to Robert Khuzami, the acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, by arranging payoffs to porn actress Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal in order to avoid October-surprise embarrassments for then-candidate Donald Trump.
Khuzami wrote that Trump was directly involved in the efforts. The president tweeted an hour after the document was filed in New York. that it '[t]otally clears the President. Thank you!'

WNU Editor: Aside from the revelation that a Russian contacted Michael Cohen offering ‘political synergy' .... there is nothing new from today's disclosures that we already know. As for Paul Manafort .... what the Special Counsel released tonight was heavily redacted, but we are told that he repeatedly lied to the Special Counsel. But both men .... by lying to investigators .... have broken the law. Serious jail time is what they deserve.
Update: Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz has provided IMHO the best analysis on today's Cohen-Manafort disclosures .... Dershowitz: Cohen's Harsh Sentencing Recommendation 'Doesn't Sound Like Good News for Mueller' (FOX News). Bottom line .... the case against President Trump is "weak". My prediction .... this case is far from over, and I do not see Robert Mueller ending anytime soon.

No one should ever talk to the FBI.
It is now common knowledge that if you say one thing and another person says another, the FBI will pick and choose who lied.
With all the firings and resignations at the FBI and with Comey going full title to the Left, people are saying that "There are good agents at the FBI, but there are so many bad actors at the top, that they no longer trust the FBI."
Comey has entered the culture wars. This further paints him as a bad character. Half a year ago he decamped American shores to bad mouth a large segment of America. He went overseas a safe distance to bad mouth gun owners. There is a trope for Leftists going over seas and bad mouthing America. Comey can never separatew himself from it now.
The Michael Cohen Sentencing Memos Are Damning for Trump
Brad Heath: "This is significant. The Justice Department is alleging in court that the president directed his onetime lawyer to commit two felonies."

BEST SUMMED UP THIS WAY
Some people stand with rapists. They vote for them, They are so grateful that they offer to give the rapist a blow job.
Reporter Who Offered Bill Clinton Oral Sex Calls "Clinton Cash" Author "Right-Wing Hatchet Man
So lets see vote for Trump who engages in consensual relations
or
vote for Bill Clinton the rapist?
Democrats vote for Clinton and therefore are pro-rapist.
You just cannot get away from Clinton rape.
- Juanita Broaddrick
- Kathleen Willey
- Lolita Flights to Orgy Island
Then there are the affairs and the prostitutes.
Gennifer Flowers – Affair followed by Character Assassination by Team Clinton
Elizabeth (Ward) Gracen – Extramarital One night stand
Dolly Kyle Browning – Extramarital Affair in 1992
Sally Perdue – Extramarital Affair
Lencola Sullivan – Extramarital Affair
Elizabeth Ward – Extramarital Affair
Susie Whitacre – Extramarital Office Affair
Bobbie Ann William – Extramarital Affair
Yes, why are not the Clintons going to Jail!! All this does is enrage the side getting screwed over by the dems. This double standard needs to be done with. Also, no collusion, just angry Dems wanting to get at the winner and silence others who want to challenge them. Atrocious!!
THIS IS 2018
Panting!
Panting!
Panting!
THE FOLLOWING IS DEMOCRAT VOTER APPROVED
Bill Clinton jumped aboard disgraced sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's 'Lolita Express' plane for junkets 26 TIMES in just three years
Bill Clinton ditched Secret Service on multiple 'Lolita Express' flights: Report
Why would Bill Clinton (A) ditch his security?
Why would Hillary (B) stand by her pedophile man?
Why would Democrats (C) vote for Hillary?
A = B = C
Pedophilia ... Democrat approved!
We started with prostitutes peeing on mattresses.
Only in America can things start thus.
Thx Democrats.
It went from peeing to collusion to pay offs.
Meanwhile pedophile Clinton dumps his security detail so he can have a tryst with a 17 year old or someone younger.
I wonder why Democrats still vote for Clintons. I was told they like a good cocksman.
Oh the YUGE bomb is Russia.. oh wait, its not.
You can thank John Edwards.. its not illegal to pay off a mistress, even if your wife has cancer.
BWHAHAHAHAHHHA
Blame the Clinton’s! Two wrongs don’t make a right. But in some minds I guess it does. Trolls cannot seem to stay on topic. Is this a big deal or nothing for Trump? That’s the topic.
Blackdog
Mrs. Clinton made noises of running in 2020. The Clintons have started a speaking tour, which makes it look like in some part that they are following up on Mrs. Clinton's threat of running again.
The Clintons are not that old of news,. The election was a mere 2 years ago. Mrs Clinton's candidacy is of the same vintage as investigation of Trump for something or rather.
So What the husband of the last candidate does or did do is germane.
It is also germane that Mueller the wicked is pursuing Trump for Hush money, while Bill Clinton is getting a pass for pedophilia. Epstein is in the news again. So why not Clinton? There is no statute of limitations for pedophilia, so why no prosecution?
We are still living with the aftermath of Florida election from 2000. It never goes aways. We went from paper to electronic because of that election and the complaints by Democrats haver only grown louder. So I think anything from 2000 on is certainly air game.
Certainly a former president that has a current active political profile is germane.
Precedent that PERTAINS to a CURRENT SITUATION IS GERMANE. What champion of the people Edwards did is germane to this situation.
So what we have with Mueller is not peeing on the bed or collusion. We have hush money and process crimes.
