SHortly thereafter, he would find himself in jail. Even though Cohen had plenty of evidence to show he was innocent of most of the charges, the full weight of the Department of Justice and the Internal Revenue had made Cohen's attorneys - with an eye on their own careers - throw up their hands.And that was only the beginning.
