Donald Trump was mercilessly ridiculed on social media for declaring that the memo recommending that his former lawyer Michael Cohen serves jail time for a range of federal crimes 'totally clears' him of any wrongdoing.
A federal prosecutor told a judge on Friday that Michael Cohen should spend between 51 and 63 months in prison for a range of federal crimes including tax evasion and violating campaign finance laws.
He tried to 'influence the election from the shadows,' according to Robert Khuzami, the acting US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, by arranging payoffs to porn actress Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal.
The payoffs were made as a means to avoid October-surprise embarrassments for then-candidate Donald Trump.

Khuzami wrote that Trump was directly involved in those efforts. But bizarrely POTUS tweeted an hour after the document was filed in New York that it '[t]otally clears the President. Thank you!'
Special counsel Robert Mueller's office filed documents saying that Cohen lied to investigators to protect Trump regarding Russian interference in the 2016 election.
But millions of people took to social media to mock Trump and claim that he may have more to answer for that on the controversy than he thinks.
Legal experts quickly reminded him that he may actually need to read the sentencing guidelines before claiming he is cleared, as the document refers 'Individual-1,' which was identified as Trump earlier this year.
The New York sentencing recommendation tells a story of Cohen working 'in coordination with and at the direction of' Donald Trump – by his own admission – to arrange for the National Enquirer to buy the rights to the two women's stories and 'kill' them, preventing media exposure of their claims.
POTUS has already been labeled as a major subject of interest, complete with the code name: Individual 1 in separate investigations.
Last month, evidence from two separate fronts of special counsel Robert S Mueller's investigation cast doubt on Trump’s version of key events involving Russia, spelling potential political and legal trouble for the President.
Last month investigators publicly placed Trump as a central figure of their probe into whether his 2016 Presidential campaign and subsequent administration conspired with the Russian government.
Legal experts are not sure whether a sitting President may be indicted for a federal crime or be compelled to testify in court .
Some argue that the Constitution’s provision for presidential impeachment is the only method by which a president could be held to account while still serving.
Others believe an indictment could be brought, but that it could be held in abeyance until the president left office, Fortune magazine report.
Last month Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to lying to Congress when he insisted that Trump was not pursuing plans to build a Trump Tower in Moscow after January 2016.
This cast doubt on Trump’s repeated claims that he had no business interests in Russia in a new light.
A draft special counsel document last month also indicates that prosecutors are closely scrutinizing Trump’s interactions with a longtime adviser, Roger Stone, as Stone was allegedly seeking information about WikiLeaks’ plans to release hacked Democratic emails.
Trump was said to have received direct updates from Cohen as he pursued a Moscow Trump Tower project with the Kremlin up until June 14, 2016.
The president also appears in the draft charging document for Trump ally Jerome Corsi, who allegedly told Stone about WikiLeaks’ plans to release damaging Democratic emails in October of that year because he knew Stone was in 'regular contact' with Trump.
The Washington Post reported last month that Trump spoke with Stone the day after he got the alert from Corsi.
Trump has given slightly differing accounts of his Moscow business ties over time. In July 2016, he tweeted: 'For the record, I have ZERO investments in Russia.” A day later he claimed, “I have nothing to do with Russia'.
In January 2017, he told a reporter: 'I have no deals that could happen in Russia, because we’ve stayed away'.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
