I've said so before.

I still suspect the reason Cohen wanted to get his sentencing over with is because there is a lot of treasonous horrible crap yet to come out. When all is known, he might have got put away longer.

It's nothing less than Treason! I don't care how much he helped Mueller's case, it can't compensate for the treason he committed!
