Lanny Davis Says He Was A Source For CNN’s Trump Tower Story

Attorney Lanny Davis says he was an anonymous source in a July CNN story that reported his client, Michael Cohen, had privately claimed that President Trump had advance knowledge of the infamous Trump Tower meeting between his son and Russians — contradicting Davis's own words on CNN's air last week.

In the story, Cohen was reported to claim he had personally witnessed Donald Trump Jr. informing then-candidate Trump about the June 2016 meeting. Such a claim from Cohen would directly contradict Trump’s statements about his knowledge of the meeting, where Russians were set to offer dirt on Hillary Clinton.

CNN’s July 26 story has come under fresh scrutiny in recent days after Davis acknowledged he had served as an anonymous source for multiple news outlets who were seeking to confirm the CNN article in the hours after it published. Davis has backed away from the story in recent days, telling the Washington Post that he is not certain if the claim is accurate, and that he could not independently corroborate it.

Here’s how it works. A liberal talking head knowingly puts a lie out there. The networks and news organizations run with it. The liberal talking head comes clean and recants. The networks don’t mention it or put out a correction. The liberal lie is still out there in the public. Mission accomplished...

Circular reasoning.

So he’s the lying source for fake news stories. Just has to be the center of attention. Disbar this bum. Don’t bother with proof and specific allegations. Nowadays you just create a narrative and jump at every tidbit that fits the narrative and call it ‘proof’. Two can play at that.

My Dad always said “To be a successful liar you have to have a perfect memory and none of us humans are perfect!” and old Lanny sure proved that. They are so tangled up in lies and mis-statements of fact it’s funny that they even dare to talk.
