Why Cohen Thinks Trump Got Off Easy

Michael Cohen, ex-lawyer and once a close confidant of Donald Trump, has some strong words about the former president's recent legal predicament. Speaking on MSNBC's "The Weekend, " Cohen expressed his dissatisfaction with Trump's sentencing, or lack thereof, for 34 counts of falsifying business records. These records were related to hush money payments during Trump's campaign. Unlike Cohen, who served time for his role in the scandal, Trump walked away without any punishment. Cohen believes this sends a troubling message, suggesting that there’s one set of rules for the powerful and another for the rest of us. He questioned the fairness of the justice system, arguing that Trump should have faced consequences, perhaps even community service. Meanwhile, many voters backed Trump due to economic concerns, but Cohen's perspective raises questions about equal justice. But let's look at it from another angle. Public figures often face scrutiny, and Cohen's perspective offers a critical viewpoint on how justice might be seen as unequal. It’s a reminder that the rules should apply to everyone, regardless of their status.
