    From what I understand this kind of stuff is usually sentenced concurrently. Also, I would avoid any sentence that looks like it’s calculated to just prevent him from campaigning. That’s a political match you do not want to light. From that angle his sentence should either keep him in jail well past the election and swearing in or release him with a month or more to campaign. A 20 month sentence would be appropriate in the guidelines, and meet this political test. A sentence that sees him released very quickly or not get jail time at all after Cohen served time would be a miscarriage of justice.
