Even if they convict its doubtful he will see the inside of a cell.

It would be pretty insane if Cohen does time, and the person ordering him to do the crime does not. Of course, par for the course in the US justice system, but nevertheless crazy.

Yeah my understanding is that this crime pretty universally leads to a fine and limitation of business activities, not prison time.

if he were given imprisonment as a sentence, it would be, at most, a few months, and he'd most likely be able to serve it under house arrest (e.g., in Trump Tower).

probably...
