Michael Cohen to be Released Early from Prison due to Coronavirus.

Source: CNN


(CNN) -- The federal Bureau of Prisons has notified Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former personal attorney, that he will be released early from prison due to the coronavirus pandemic, according to people familiar with the matter and his lawyer. Cohen is serving a three-year sentence at the federal prison camp in Otisville, NY, where 14 inmates and seven staff members at the complex have tested positive for the virus.

Cohen was scheduled for release in November 2021, but he will be allowed to serve the remainder of his sentence from home confinement, the people said. He will have to undergo a 14-day quarantine at the prison camp before he is released.

Cohen was notified on Thursday of his pending release, and his lawyer, Roger Adler, confirmed it to CNN.

His pending release comes as the Bureau of Prisons, which has been under pressure for its early handling of the virus at its facilities, has been thinning out its prison populations by releasing some nonviolent and medically vulnerable inmates to home confinement or furloughing their sentences in response to the pandemic.

The stupidest thing he ever said. Friday..2/28/20...."It's their new hoax" pass it around..

..To anyone that thinks Trump is ok in any way...hit them with 4 words and the date..Friday 2/28/20
That will shut them up immediately. It was at a rally in South Carolina where he said this if you need a location. And also, it is on you tube and easy to find.
........Similar to Nixon's famous..."I am not a crook" statement...................................

... Those four words are what Trump will be remembered for. "It's their new hoax"..

U.S. Death Toll passes 25,000, CNN:

https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/14/us/us-coronavirus-reopening-tuesday/index.html

CNN) — After some governors said they'd work on regional plans to roll back stay-at-home orders amid the coronavirus pandemic, two of those leaders warned any reopening still appears far away.

This comes as the death toll from Covid-19 in the United States passed the 25,000 mark Tuesday, according to data tallied by Johns Hopkins University.

And New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in particular said he'd fight in court any federal order to reopen his state's economy if he thought it was premature and endangered New Yorkers' health.

NY Times. Trump was warned on Jan 30 of possible pandemic by Sec. Alex Azar II HHS

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/11/us/politics/coronavirus-trump-response.htm




Article Title: He Could Have Seen What Was Coming: Behind Trump’s Failure on the Virus

An examination reveals the president was warned about the potential for a pandemic but that internal divisions, lack of planning and his faith in his own instincts led to a halting response.

Key paragraph:

•The health and human services secretary, Alex M. Azar II, directly warned Mr. Trump of the possibility of a pandemic during a call on Jan. 30, the second warning he delivered to the president about the virus in two weeks. The president, who was on Air Force One while traveling for appearances in the Midwest, responded that Mr. Azar was being alarmist.

This is the smoking gun, and Trump is done. He could be impeached again for total incompetence. I am not in charge of that, but this sentence, if true, means Trump ignored warnings long before the virus took root here.
If there was any doubt, this is the end of Trump..When this gets around, Trump may be forced to resign.

Proof: Stay At Home, It Works, -according CDC,..CNN:

https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/13/health/mobility-stay-at-home-cdc-report/index.html

Article Title: CDC report says people in four key cities are listening to stay at home orders .


.......Paragraphs...10 ,11 & 12 (scroll down page to see this if you want, good article)

.......Note that paragraph 11 is the key and the key word is not.

(10)San Francisco issued the nation's first shelter in place order on March 16, restricting all but essential activities.

(11)The city has not seen the expected surge of coronavirus patients, and hospitals have not had difficulty coping with large numbers of emergency room visits or stays in the intensive care unit.

(12) "If I had to attribute it to one thing, it has to be [San Francisco] Mayor London Breed's foresight in calling state of emergency early, getting people to shelter in place early, and really just wonderful messaging of social distancing," said Dr. Jahan Fahimi, an emergency room physician at University of California San Francisco.
