Michael Cohen wasn't on probation, wasn't on house arrest, he was a prisoner who was allowed, because of COVID-19, to serve the remainder of his sentence at home.

He willfully went to Manhattan restaurants and tweeted, all things a prisoner can't do. He can only blame himself.

This guy is really stupid or really arrogant. Or both.

All of these tell-alls (or nothings) seem important for a few weeks and then become just waste paper.

While I love the feel and satisfaction of a real book in my hands, stuff about current politics and self-strutting political types seems like a waste.

Now, if I'm on the crapper and really straining, maybe Mary's book about her uncle might help things move along. (Only 1 flush, thx.)

Guess he bought it on himself. Too bad. Wonder if they add time because of him going to a restaurant?

And he blew it.

He defies the guidelines for home detention, and partakes in a COVID-19-risky activity by being at a restaurant.

What an entitled, stupid, lawless, criminal jackass.
