Twitter Users Taunt Michael Cohen For Newly Ironic Anti-Hillary Clinton Tweet
Michael Cohen was sentenced to 36 months in federal prison Wednesday, nearly 36 months after the former attorney for President Donald Trump posted a tweet that, under the circumstances, is very, very ironic.
On Dec. 19, 2015, Cohen tweeted to Hillary Clinton:
When you go to prison for defrauding America and perjury, your room and board will be free!
Cohen deleted the tweet this past August, according to Time.com, but considering he’s now the one getting free room and board, many Twitter users decided to repost it on his behalf.

This tweet was sent 36 months ago, which is the exact same prison term Michael Cohen was sentenced to just minutes ago. pic.twitter.com/uBMFmEUTZ9

Some people got downright metaphysical.

But one person articulated the legal question that was most likely on every Twitter user’s mind.
Is it part of Michael Cohen’s jail sentence that literally everyone I follow will tweet a screenshot of his ironic tweet about Hillary going to jail?
