by The Right Scoop

Apparently Michael Cohen is tired of the SDNY investigation and wants to end it. According to ABC News he’s entering a plea deal with federal prosecutors:

And they are breaking into your ‘currently scheduled program to let you know, as if this is HUGE news.

But the truth is, according to CNN, that it’s nothing more than Cohen wanting to plead guilty. It’s not about cooperation:

Here’s more:

Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney, is in talks to plead guilty to criminal charges in a deal that would bring an end to a months-long investigation that has riled the President, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The details of the plea are still being negotiated, the sources cautioned, and talks could fall apart. The US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York is investigating Cohen for potential bank fraud, tax fraud and campaign finance violations. If talks fall apart, federal prosecutors are expected to indict Cohen.

As part of the plea deal under discussion, Cohen is not expected to cooperate with the government, one source said. However, by pleading guilty both Cohen and prosecutors would avoid the spectacle and uncertainty of a trial.

And now, according to the MSM, he’s got the plea deal.

We’ll let you know if the cooperation element of this changes.

UPDATE: While we don’t know all the details yet, it is being reported that Cohen is pleading guilty:

UPDATE 2: Cohen has surrendered to the FBI:

They report that Cohen is expected to plead guilty to campaign finance violations as well as tax and bank fraud.

 
UPDATE 3: Wow!

JUST IN: Michael Cohen to plead guilty in deal that includes 3-5 years jail time, source says.
