1. Someone on MSNBC said that because Michael Cohen is an underling to trump

and he served time that it makes it more likely that trump will serves time. I guess it would look very unfair if they did the same crime but only one goes to jail.

2. iirc, he can appeal based on disparate treatment.

3. That someone fails to account for one important thing

One of Cohen's crimes was for tax evasion, a more serious felony than what TSF did, and Cohen's crime was federal, meaning he did not face a state judge, but one from the federal courts who have different rules for sentencing.

Only a complete idiot would expect different crimes to result in the same penalties just because the criminals convicted happen to know each other.

4. Once again, the "not sures" baffle me.

Pollster: Trump is a felon. Does that make you more or less likely to vote for him?

8% of respondents: I'm not sure. Hmm...nope, don't know. Can't decide how Trump being a convicted criminal affects my vote. Gosh, that's a stumper.
