We all know the deal here... Trump has been selling all his close friends and associates on the notion he'll use his Presidential pardon powers to get them all off Scott free...

But, the question Cohen, Manafort, et all have to be asking themselves is this:

Will someone who has SCREWED people all his life to gain advantage, someone who's SCREWED Playmates, Strippers, Russian Hookers... someone who's BACKSTABBED his own loyal law and security professionals... screw them???

The answer: wha da ya think?

Cohen, will do jail time for being part of the most crooked masterminds in history. Even a day in prison will damage his life.

Trump will be counting his billions while Cohen and the others watch their professional careers disappear.

and one thing is a given... Trump will be playing golf while Cohen lays on a prison cot.
