Would depend upon the actual judge in his case....
Michael Cohen case is being heard by Judge Kimba Wood — aka the 'Love Judge'
The judge hearing the legal fight between federal investigators and the President Trump lawyer who inked a hush agreement with a porn star knows her way around Playboy Playmates and a steamy scandal.
Judge Kimba Wood, the brilliant legal mind who has served in Manhattan Federal Court since 1988 and was once nominated for the U.S. Attorney General post, briefly worked at a Playboy casino in 1966.
But her flirtation with Hugh Hefner's bunny biz pales in comparison to an extramarital affair she allegedly had in the 1990s that became tabloid fodder.
Wood was dubbed the "Love Judge" in 1995 when the soon-to-be ex-wife of a multimillionaire Wall Street financier found his diary, which was filled with passionate prose about his trysts with the jurist.
Moneyman Frank Richardson gushed about the time he spent with Wood, describing her as "absolutely wonderful, very intelligent, a complete woman and able to give love wonderfully and freely."
The illicit romance began in the spring of that year with dinners at ritzy restaurants and weekend getaways at Wood's country home. At the time, Kimba was married to a Time magazine columnist but the two were about to divorce.
Richardson — who was worth an estimated $157 million at the time — wrote in superlatives about the judge, even describing one fireside rendezvous at the country home as "beautiful an eight hours as I have spent in my life."
He and Wood married in 1999.
Legal eagles have also praised Wood, who graduated from Harvard Law School and earned a master's degree from the London School of Economics.
While a student in England, she worked for a week at a Playboy casino, training as a croupier. But she quit because she thought the gig was silly.
Even before the affair, Wood has made headlines as a tough judge presiding over cases involving high-profile defendants, including "Junk Bond King" Michael Milken.
In 1993 President Bill Clinton nominated her to become the first female Attorney General. But she withdrew from the nomination after the White House learned she had hired an undocumented immigrant as a baby-sitter.
Wood, who was Clinton's second choice for AG post, didn't break the law employing the nanny and in fact paid the woman's taxes. But the White House asked her to withdraw because her situation was similar to Clinton's first AG nomination, Zoe Baird.
Seems a connection with no other than the Clinton’s.
He will say what ever he needs to say to avoid the consequences of his actions. He is after all an attorney, and like seasoned beltway politicians when their lips are moving their lying.
he has already faced the consequences of his actions. he is going to jail. Nothing he says today has any impact on that whatsoever.

no?
If he's caught lying again, will that affect his sentence?
