Please explain this comment regarding [Michael Cohen]

Hi

With reference to Trump’s personal ‘fixer’ Michael Cohen, I came across this comment in:

'Trump VERY STUNNED After WSJ Reveals 'His Inauguration Spending Under Criminal Investigation’

15.27 minutes into the program.

…’cause a lot of people…. make up crimes that they committed in order to plead guilty to them, and become convicted felons. That of course happens all the time

I do not understand what this former prosecutor/commentator is talking about.
I look forward to your feedback.

He is being sarcastic.

Right. Thank you.

I’m not sure if you intentionally left your thread title incomplete, but I’ve fixed it.

Thanks Chronos. That was an oversight.
