FILE - In this May 6, 2019, file photo, Michael Cohen, former attorney to President Donald Trump, leaves his apartment building before beginning his prison term in New York. Cohen, was returned to federal prison, weeks after his early release to serve the remainder of his sentence at home because of the coronavirus pandemic, the federal Bureau of Prisons said Thursday, July 9, 2020.
In a statement to The Associated Press, the Bureau of Prisons said Cohen had “refused the conditions of his home confinement and as a result, has been returned to a BOP facility.” His return to prison comes days after the New York Post published photos of him and his wife enjoying an outdoor meal with friends at a restaurant near his Manhattan home.
“It’s not a crime to eat out and support local businesses,” Adler told the AP, adding Cohen had been “thrown back into a petri dish of coronavirus.”as part of an attempt to slow the spread of the virus in federal prisons. Cohen, 53, began serving his sentence in May 2019 and had been scheduled to remain in prison until November 2021.
JonLemire now get manafort and flynn
Some fixer he turned out to be. Now in trouble again, lets see him fix this one. Back to prison Mikey.
JonLemire hope his restaurant meal was good...
JonLemire Yet another Trump no disclosure demand. Bill Barr next to jail.
JonLemire i sure hope he's being protected there. i don't trust that there aren't forces who would wish to do him harm; in prison there are ways to get to him. and then there's covid-19. why shouldn't he be free to speak; he's been paying his debt to society: 1st amend. should kick in
JonLemire He got photographed eating in restaurants... when no one should be eating in restaurants.
JonLemire So arrogant to think he is above it all....
JonLemire Was it the salad?
JonLemire Goddamn that guy is stupid.
JonLemire The BOP that’s run by Barr.
JonLemire That’s what criminals do!! Break the rules!!
Now he's going to eat Bubba tube steak every night
He came out, saw 2020 in America and asked to go back.
He's just like Trump. 'The rules don't really apply to me' Probably not the most competent in his field. Used to think he was big sh.. Non the less he has some good stories I'm sure.
Now the public know why he wanted out.
But realDonaldTrump wants to force teachers back to work! This is BS - Cohen needs to be back in prison regardless of covid!
Throw away the key! realDonaldTrump PressSec SenateGOP
LilDivaz1 Seriously going out to eat with his family, and he JUST got out! Even when in the system they think they are above the law. Stupid!
They're suppressing his fundamental right to release a book before the election.
The USSC deals the moron a blow and Cohen feels the pain.
It looks like most of Trump's cronies can't follow the rules! No more dining out for Michael. Enjoy that delicious prison chow! Yum!
I do think that Cohen should remain out, he is nowhere near as dangerous as Manafort and I bet Manafort has been breaking his agreements left and right with no repercussions - because 'Barr', which is also why Cohen is being hounded. TrumpIsPetty DisbarBarr DOJCorruption
Well let’s be honest...there is definitely a wave of “no rules/laws apply to me” right now. So why wouldn’t he think he could break them as well? Isn’t that ok now? To do whatever you want? Pretty sure SpeakerPelosi just said that people “do what they do.” 🤷🏻♀️
House arrest means 'HOUSE' arrest. You can't go out and dine! His attorney is whining.
People are concerned about throwing him back into “a petri dish of coronavirus”. What do they think schools will be?
Bill Cosby
That was stupid of him. Perhaps that's why he worked for Trump.
Lock him up and throw away the key.
JFC can’t even follow rules after all he has been through. He’s not reformable.
I hope Michael Cohen writes a book about all the Trumps that he dealt with!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Hey Durham, nothing is stopping this madness. Why can’t you do the same?
What is wrong with these people that they always feel they are above the law?
If schools are safe, then prisons must also be. Send him back and pick up Manafort on the way!
UPDATE: Michael Cohen's lawyer calls the decision to return his client to federal prison an 'overly draconian response' to Cohen's 'poor judgment.' Cohen was released in May because of the pandemic and was to have finished serving his sentence at home.
WIN
What are the odds Trump had something to do w/ this?
JimLaPorta 🤔🙄🙄😮👀😶🤭🤫
JimLaPorta This is bullshit. Bill Barr is head of Bureau of Prisons. He is silencing Michael Cohen.
Good. Trump thinks it is safe to send kids back to school, so put him back in prison. I am sure he will be fine.
Surely the prison system doesn't expect a white-collar criminal to follow their rules for home confinement. Right? This is not a surprising headline.
So Cohen, Stone, Manafort & others get a break due to an unsafe virus in their country club 'institution'...but you want schools opened to endanger them and others. Also use international student ban on the schools to get them to open when it's unsafe. I get it.
🤣
A pardon coming soon?
🤣🤣
Mikey you are truly proving your stupity. Your an attorney eh?🤷♂️🤡👹
TrumpDerangementSyndrome
Wow he got offered a golden spoon but was still stupid. The guy has not changed one bit. Nobody gets a free pass to sit out their jail sentence at home. What a screw up.
I don’t blame him. Imagine a government supporting its own overthrowing is the same government believing consent is still given for it rule. I think fucking not.
Good for him.
Hmmmm...I wonder if this is a scheme cooked up by the 'regime' to continue punishing this man?
misha liked the metal beds better
Idiot.
He deserves it
Jordan B. Peterson: 'Rule Number ONE from 12 RULES FOR LIFE!' Start doing this... RoadTo800SubsTillSunday HiddenKnowledge
Shouldn’t have been released in the first place.
Ok, let’s send Manaforts ass back now.
Wow!!!
🤣🤣🤣
F
Do Stone and Manafort next.
