Prosecutors unearth Trump tweet from 2018 that contradicts the core of defense’s argument

Interesting,
a tweet from 2018...
MSNBC legal contributor Adam Klasfeld
tweeted Friday that one of Bragg's paralegals read the tweet into the official record despite Trump's team unsuccessfully fighting to exclude it. The tweet itself, which was sent on May 3, 2018, while Trump was in the White House, reads: "Mr. [Michael] Cohen, an attorney, received a monthly retainer, not from the campaign and having nothing to do with the campaign, from which he entered into, through reimbursement, a private contract between two parties, known as a non-disclosure agreement, or NDA."...
New Republic writer Ellie Quinlan Houghtaling
described the tweet as "further evidence that Trump was
aware of multiple $35,000 checks to Cohen inked by his two sons, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., as well as Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg, made via a revocable trust."
"In one instance, COHEN caused American Media, Inc. (“AMI”)... to make a $150,000 payment to one woman; in the other, COHEN made a $130,000 payment to another woman through an LLC he incorporated for the purpose of making the payment,".
----------
In addition to the sentence of imprisonment, Judge Pauley also ordered COHEN, 52, of New York, New York, to pay a fine of $50,000, to forfeit $500,000, to pay $1,393,858 in restitution to the IRS, and to pay a mandatory $800 special assessment. Separately, COHEN was ordered to pay a $50,000 fine and to pay a $100 special assessment in the case brought by the SCO. COHEN was also sentenced to concurrent three-year terms of supervised release in both cases, to follow his term of imprisonment.
----------
So Cohen was given a 3-year sentence in 2018 for the same Hush Money Scheme and tax evasion.
I don't know why Trump was not indicted in 2018 for the same Hush Money Scheme...maybe it was arranged to indict Trump after he was no longer the President of the United States ???
I'm curious as to where Cohen served his prison sentence...maximum security prison or minimum security prison. It could give us the insight into what's to come for Donald Trump.
The sad part, other people have gone to prison for doing the same thing although not a politician and they had LESS of a paper trail and FEWER witnesses.
That's what I would call maybe the
most expensive porn star fuck because it has impacted so many lives beyond the $130k payment.
Answer to my above question: In February 2019, the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division, disbarred Cohen from practicing law in the state. In May 2019, he reported to the federal prison near Otisville, New York...a medium-security prison. In November 2021, he completed his sentence.
It could have been much worst, Trump could have fathered children with Stormy and McDougal. Yet, had that occurred...would be an "impossible" to continue stating there was
"No Sex" especially after DNA paternity tests.
