Excellent analysis by the professor. At this time, I really don't think it makes any sense to engage any of the lefties here as they are bereft of honest intellectual discussion
Looks like Cohen might be going to summer camp next summer. "voted by Forbes as one of the country's cushiest prisons" Not a done deal yet but he has "applied." Maybe I can get sent there. I am pretty sure they would have good wifi, and there are quite a few traders/wall street types there already- so it's all good. And being in a cell/room during market hours if you are still trading? Some days I might not even notice the difference, assuming you can still get good coffee. Sounds like getting a bagel there to go with your coffee would not be a problem- most excellent! https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-12-17/prison-where-michael-cohen-will-spend-next-three-years
He gets to pump some iron, get fit, work on his book and take a break from it all. Meanwhile some poor sap busted for a dime bag is doing hard time I some gestapo type penitentiary. Justice in America. No wonder the hood rats don't give a fuck.
Hate to say this but --Thank God for Alan Dershowitz. ----Honest Democrats don't typically exist anymore---
https://www.opensecrets.org/industries/indus.php?ind=G7000 Since President Richard Nixon declared the national "War on Drugs" in the 1970s, the American prison population has skyrocketed; the same is true of the numbers of people locked up in private prisons, especially since the 1990s. Over their history, private prisons have been controversial for several reasons, including in some cases their treatment of incarcerated individuals. Supporters, however, say private prison companies have shouldered some of the burden from overpopulated federal prisons. In the 2016 election cycle, private prisons gave a record $1.6 million to candidates, parties and outside spending groups. That was nearly triple what they'd given in 2014 and more than double their contributions in the 2012 presidential cycle. Most of the increase came in the form of donations to outside groups, and Geo Group was responsible for most of that: It gave $300,000 to super PACs backing various Republican presidential candidates, including one backing now-President Donald Trump. https://www.opensecrets.org/industries/recips.php?cycle=2018&ind=G7000
