Richard Herman: If He’s Indicted Michael Cohen ‘Has Really No Choice’ But to Cooperate

RUSH EXCERPT:
HERMAN: “I have to shake my friend Avery, wake him up from that dream state he’s in. Here’s what’s going to happen. He’s going to have to cooperate. He has really no choice if he gets indicted. Because federally, those charges could be anywhere 5 to — in prison. It’s wrong to do this but, you know, money laundering, wire fraud, those bring 20 year sentences in the southern district, and this judge will sentence him to those. In order to protect himself, in the federal system, you have to do 85% of the sentence time. The only way to reduce that is to cooperate and work for the government. And because financially he probably can’t pay a defense in this case whether he even has a defense, I don’t know, Fred. The government has these papers. They’ve got documents they put together from a shredder."
