and he pleaded guilty, so would get off lighter. Also, Cohen didn't threaten everyone associated with the case, including the judge who decides his sentence and his daughter
I've seen some opinions, that he has to stick him in prison, or he highlights that any president can do the same again in the future and expect no consequences. He is basically reinforcing trumps claim to immunity.
So he may get sentenced to a year.
Others are saying that he has lost the plot so much, that the best thing they can do is put him in front of the public as much as they can so he hangs himself with his words.
The simple answer is that they just don't know what to do for the best.
Oh, the other side is that trumps team will immediately put in an appeal so that any prison term would be kicked way into the future, but if trump says something stupid while he is out, he could be recalled immediately to prison pending appeal
It's a crazy time
