the solitary confinement thing seemed strange, and now being released...doesn't sit right, but...in these times..who knows?

Trump Attorney Cohen in Solitary Confinement After Virus Release Bid Denied
Cohen asked for early release in March; a federal judge rejected the request in pointed terms
Published April 10, 2020 • Updated on April 10, 2020 at 12:29 pm
https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/politics/trump-attorney-the-in-solitary-confinement-after-virus-release-bid-denied/2368637/
Cohen’s solitary status also comes on the heels of Cohen’s motion to request home confinement, which failed spectacularly. Judge William H. Pauley not only denied the request, but also accused Cohen of having raised COVID-19 in an effort to “single himself out for release to home confinement appears to be just another effort to inject himself into the news cycle.”
---------------------------------------
Law&Crime spoke Friday with attorney Bruce Barket of Barket Epstein Kearon Aldea & LoTurco, LLP. He explained that placing Michael Cohen in the SHU as punishment for a verbal dispute would be rather odd, though not unprecedented.

and then 7 days later he's getting released.

Michael Cohen Is Among Prisoners to Be Released Because of Virus

Michael Cohen Is Among Prisoners to Be Released Because of Virus
Lawyers for at least six other inmates in the Otisville camp said their clients also had been informed they would be furloughed to lessen the possibility of their contracting the virus. Some were told they would finish their sentences in home confinement. Others were told they were being furloughed to home confinement, meaning they might be required to return to the prison camp.

Not crazy about Cohen's preferential treatment for COVID-19, but that would be a super easy way to explain a prison death.

and lose his shit is a bonus. I do hope that any knowledge of criminal activity has been relayed to the NY AG. I have no hope of the feds going after Trump for wrong doing. However, I do think the NY AG will continue to pursue his crimes.

Congress when he was trying to stay out of jail -- trump is a racist and horrible person. All that was known when he ran for election, but about half the electorate choose to ignore that to elect a vile white winger.
