Michael Cohen SDNY sentencing memo recommends 'substantial prison,' and Individual-1 is in deep trouble

Federal prosecutors in New York request a 'substantial' prison sentence for Michael Cohen, who pled guilty to violating campaign finance laws. Sentencing guidelines suggest that could mean 46 to 63 months.

The Southern District of New York's sentencing memo for the President's former personal lawyer Michael Cohen has been filed, and it is 30 pages long.

Things are not looking bright for Michael Cohen, despite having cooperated with the federal investigation into Trump's activities.
'A substantial term of imprisonment is warranted,' writes the Southern District of New York.
The guidelines from Michael Cohen's plea agreement call for a prison term of between 46 and 63 months.

The real news right now is not about Cohen’s sentence. It is about the conclusion by federal prosecutors that Donald J. Trump has committed a serious felony.

This is new. Federal prosecutors have said for the first time in a court filing that Cohen committed campaign finance crimes "in coordination with and at the direction of" President Trump. pic.twitter.com/mOYvdMqHS7

MUELLER says he "does not take a position with respect to a particular sentence to be imposed" for Cohen, says he has gone to "significant lengths" to assist the special counsel probe.

This is the submission from prosecutors in SDNY, *not* special counsel Robert Mueller's office. That's also due today, so stay tuned https://t.co/8yg59T7wTv
