The deal could come as early as today, say sources familiar with the matter.

Ex-Trump/Sean Hannity lawyer Michael Cohen has reached a plea deal with prosecutors (UPDATED)
- Thread starter ElectricBlanketFire
- Start date
Trump is a fucking traitor that should be behind bars for the rest of his life and his family and business stripped of all their assets.
It's likely everything they have is due to their service to the Russian state and Russian oligarchs.

Ricochet = Cohen
VD = Trump
Erm, is that indicative of the generally quality of wrestling now? Coz that was extremely cool :) Is wrestling cool again?
Trump's hope was that he'd plead innocent, get found guilty and then he'd be pardoned.
He's going to be found guilty either way. Whether he's pardoned or not isn't the question- it's whether he cuts a deal to mitigate his sentence, and what the contents of that deal would be.
If the deal involves spilling some beans on Trump, he's not getting that pardon.
Shamelessly stolen from the Manafort thread, but I hope this comes true:
NXT is cool though.
No.
NXT is cool though.
I think Cohen is betting Trump won't be around long enough for a pardon and there are far more skeletons prosecutors could drudge up Cohen/Trump that a pardon for tax fraud isn't the main crime you want pardoned.
New Japan Pro Wrestling = yes
WWE NXT = kinda
WWE main roster (RAW/Smackdown) = lol no
i guess so but he'll still think of some shitty nickname for him regardless
Ricochet = Cohen
VD = Trump
Not the first time Trump has been connected to VD, I imagine.
As long as you're not watching Raw or SD!, yes, it can be pretty damn cool.
This isn't related too the Mueller investigation. This would be a plea related to banking and tax related charges, so this deal would have nothing to do with Trump beyond it being bad PR.
Unfortunately Baby Donald has unlimited amount of Pardon toys.
State charges on the other hand.....lol.
I am stealing that. Dude that has tapes taking a plea is never good news for his "friends"
He can't do it. If he does then Cohen or Manafort can't plead the 5th. He's totally fucked.
Maybe Meuller's been trying to take his time because he wants the midterms to pass in the hopes of a democrat speaker of the house, so when he yoinks the entire Trump administration we don't have to worry about President Ryan.

They didn't. He was essentially "guy who does our crimes who can hide under 'attorney/client priviledge'".
New CNN article:
https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/21/politics/michael-cohen-plea-deal-talks/index.html
"The details of the plea are still being negotiated, the sources cautioned, and talks could fall apart. The US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York is investigating Cohen for potential bank fraud, tax fraud and campaign finance violations. If talks fall apart, federal prosecutors are expected to indict Cohen.
As part of the plea deal under discussion, Cohen is not expected to cooperate with the government, one source said. However, by pleading guilty both Cohen and prosecutors would avoid the spectacle and uncertainty of a trial."

How can you get a plea deal and not cooperate?
That doesn't make sense right.
Edit: I misread.
Unless he's cooperating and they're hiding that fact?
