Remember back in 2015 when Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen joked about sending Hillary Clinton to prison?

It's funny how things change. It now appears that Cohen, not Clinton, will be the one headed to prison. On Tuesday, Cohen reached a plea deal in the Southern District of New York, pleading guilty on charges that include campaign finance violations from his time working on the campaign of President Donald Trump.

According to the Associated Press, Cohen could spend between four and five years in jail.

Between news that former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort was found guilty of tax fraud and Cohen's plea, news fiends' attention was divided on Tuesday. Still, the internet found time to craft some five-star memes, GIFS, and tweets about Trump's right-hand man.

It's all so deeply satisfying.

America, I hope you get some sleep tonight. We've got a long panic-inducing news cycle ahead of us.
