Michael Cohen’s Business Partner Agrees to Cooperate as Part of Plea Deal

[Rambunctious]

You just don't get it..outside of your echo chamber..the rest of America doesn't give a shit about Obama..he's history. Period. Most people think Deep State..and immediately think tinfoil hat dudes. Conspiracy theories do not get a lot of traction...except with the 34%

Trumps new poll numbers are 48% and each and everyone in that 48% would like to see Obama in prison and retroactively impeached....right after Hillary gets hers...

LOL! another Rasmussen poll?

Presidential Approval Ratings -- Donald Trump
Trump approval rating takes a dive, polls show
‘Idiot, clown and embarrassment’: New poll shows falling ratings & scathing attitudes to Trump

Now you can do the ritual..blah, blah, blah..about all polls--except the one you like..sing a ditty abut how they got the election wrong...but from where I sit..trump has NEVER had an approval above 50%---the majority of Americans hate him..and will continue to do so..if were not for gerrymandering...he'd be toast for real.

I bet you didn't believe me when I said Trump will be the next president either....some folks don't have the intelligence needed to learn from the past...

More from article:

Mr. Freidman has been Mr. Cohen’s partner in the taxi business for years, managing cabs for him even after New York City regulators barred Mr. Freidman last year from continuing to manage medallions.

Mr. Freidman, who was disbarred earlier this month, had been accused of failing to pay more than $5 million in taxes and faced four counts of criminal tax fraud and one of grand larceny — all B felonies. Each carries a maximum prison sentence of up to 25 years in prison.

Instead, he appeared in court in Albany on Tuesday and pleaded guilty to a single count of evading only $50,000 worth of taxes; he faces five years of probation if he fulfills the terms of his agreement, the judge, Patrick Lynch of Albany County court, said during the roughly 20-minute proceeding.

“Do you understand the nature of the benefit your attorneys have accomplished on your behalf?” the judge asked Mr. Freidman during the proceeding on Tuesday.

“I greatly understand that and appreciate it,” Mr. Freidman replied.

After Mr. Freidman’s guilty plea, his lawyer, Patrick J. Egan of Fox Rothschild, declined to comment. But earlier this year, he said his client “considers Michael a very good friend and a great client.”

So now you'll explain why the judge gave Freidman a slap on the wrist instead of throwing him in prison for life.
Freidman has millions hidden away in offshore banks.
He'll live like a king!

You do understand that none of this investigation has anything to do with Trump right?

Of course, any idiot knows it has everything to do with Trump, as Mueller attempts to leverage COhen to give up incriminating evidence against Trump. The fact that it has gone this far indicates that Mueller not only knows this incriminating evidence exists, but probably also knows exactly what it is.

Remember to change hands once in a while. You could put your back out.
Cohen will never "flip" on President Trump you mutt!

Uh-huh..sell..they say an active fantasy life is healthy..so dream on. BTW..how many of Obama's circle have been arrested/ Convicted/taken a plea?

You'd do better referencing Clinton..I think she's dirty...but you'll never get there..because she's a smart as she is dirty...

Did you actually type that Hillary is too smart to get caught? She has been caught and her penalty was losing two presidential elections....yeah shes a genius....LMFAO

Damn//you really are a hard-head, I'll give you that..has she missed any meals/ No. Has she gone to jail. No. So she lost some elections...when all is said and done..history will judge her far more gently than it will Trump..believe that! As if winning or losing an election has anything at all to do with honesty.

Now that the IG is actively investigating all things Clinton the old bitch isn't getting a good night's sleep.
Everything eventually is exposed.

Not really in tune with the topic, are you? Judges don't care about criminal's savings....and this was a plea agreement negotiated by the US attorney. Why the 'slap on the wrist'? Well, he agreed to provide information to the Govt. about Cohen, his former business partner. I suggest actually reading the links provided in the OP. Thus, you won't look so foolish.

Michael Cohen’s Business Partner Agrees to Cooperate as Part of Plea Deal

Uh-oh..*click*
The sound of dominoes falling:

A significant business partner of Michael D. Cohen, President Trump’s personal lawyer, has quietly agreed to cooperate with the government as a potential witness, a development that could be used as leverage to pressure Mr. Cohen to work with the special counsel examining Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Under the agreement, the partner, Evgeny A. Freidman, a Russian immigrant who is known as the Taxi King, will avoid jail time, and will assist government prosecutors in state or federal investigations, according to a person briefed on the matter.

Mr. Cohen’s conduct was initially examined by Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel investigating the 2016 election that led to Mr. Trump’s victory, and then referred to the United States attorney’s office in Manhattan. Last month, federal agents carried out search warrants at Mr. Cohen’s home, his office and a hotel room where he was staying, seeking documents related to his business associates and accountants.

Mr. Trump’s lawyers have been resigned to the strong possibility that the investigation of Mr. Cohen’s businesses could lead him to cooperate with federal prosecutors.

That likelihood could become greater with a business partner of Mr. Cohen’s cooperating with law enforcement.

You idiots never learn.

The noose is tightening around Mr Cohen's neck....

Cohen will never "flip" on President Trump you mutt!

Of course he will, ya dumbass. He's a terrible, scummy lawyer in a cheap suit who is for sale. He has no ethics or principles or loyalty.
