Why is Michael Cohen going to prison for three years? Is it just because he was the personal attorney for President Trump?
I have watched and read about many people who I knew was lying to Congress and yet they didn’t go to jail. The CEOs of tobacco companies said tobacco wasn’t addictive and didn’t cause cancer. The drug companies CEOs lied last month.
Did any of Nixon’s people go to prison for lying to the Watergate Hearing Committee? I don’t remember any. Even Supreme Court Justices lied during their hearings.
I bet hundreds have in the last two or three years of Senate nominating hearings lied, so why Cohen?
