Lanny’s Level of Sliminess: Expert

Lanny, shilling his book The Unmaking of the President 2016: How FBI Director Comey Cost Hillary Clinton the Presidency

Per the Washington Post:

Davis did not rule out that his claims were correct but expressed regret that he did not explain that he could not independently corroborate them, saying that he now believes he “should have been more clear.” [...]

Davis told The Washington Post that he cannot confirm media reports that Cohen is prepared to tell special counsel Robert S. Mueller III that Trump had advance knowledge of the 2016 Trump Tower meeting, where Donald Trump Jr. expected to receive damaging information about Clinton from a Russian lawyer.

To be clear: Lanny can’t confirm the media reports that he generated and spread.

The information in the Post story, which was attributed to one person familiar with discussions among Cohen’s friends, came from Davis, who is now acknowledging his role on the record.

Davis said he should not have expressed such confidence in his information.

“I should have been more clear — including with you — that I could not independently confirm what happened,” Davis said, adding: “I regret my error.”

If I were a cynic (full disclosure: I am) I’d say Old Lanny was scamming the Trump haters: promising them red meat in exchange for their greenbacks: Michael Cohen and Lanny Davis latest to 'sell' scandal testimony.

You would think that sort of thing would be illegal but apparently it falls under the umbrella of unregulated gaming.

Lawyer Lanny Davis this week became a virtual infomercial for a GoFundMe site. In continuous appearances on every network, Davis shilled for donors for his client, former Donald Trump attorney Michael Cohen. […]

For many, GoFundMe has become a bazaar where one can put money down on the testimony most likely to hurt or help Trump…

It is a curious extension of the entertainment industry where, instead of selecting the next star on “America’s Got Talent,” you can support the next star witness.

Sometimes the next star witness is actually the lawyer.

And as Alan Dershowitz often says, sometimes your witness sings, sometimes they also compose.

Threshold Question:

If even knowing about, let alone collaborating with, Russian efforts to undermine your opponent in the presidencial election was a "crime," why didn't Mueller use Hillary's fake Russian Dossier as evidence against her rather than Trump?

Clintooon Suck-Up LOONEY DAVIS has emerged from under his Rock.

[jdsteel]

The Dems keep circling back to leftover nothing burgers. Crazy.

[Da Coyote]

We’re talking scientific notation to adequately represent the sleeziness of Lanny Davis.

[Toespi]

Lanny Davis is the REAL “fixer” in this debacle, who is still working for the Clintons as he always has. This time he is babysitting Cohen, and the bonus is, he gets to know everything related to this investigation.

[Montana_Sam]

Victoria Toensing pointed out that Rosenstein's appointment document (ORDER NO. 3915-2017) for Mueller was specifically for Mueller to investigate Trump ONLY!
Rosenstein knew what kind of man Mueller was before he appointed him. And we can be damn certain that Rosenstein was good with Mueller hiring Andrew Weissmann. Weissmann plays a prominent role in Sydney Powell's book, Licensed to Lie, and his sleaze stinks up the entire country. (Link to NYT copy of ORDER NO. 3915-2017)

[CMailBag]

Lanny is still covering for the Clintons.

[pfony1]

Suppose, just for argument’s sake, that President Trump DID know about the “Trump Tower Meeting” before it happened.

So what?

Do Dems really think that supposed “fact” would “prove” that Candidate Trump lied!

So what?

Do Dems really think that that supposed “lie” would “prove” that Mr. Trump was “unfit” to be President?

REALLY?

NOT when compared to Bill Clinton (”I did NOT...), Barack Obama (You can KEEP...”) and Hillary Clinton (”There were NO classified...”)!

What’s been proved here is that Dems are not rational.

[Liz]

For your collection.

[daler]

With PDJT it's an unsubstantiated allegation.

With the Bamster it's an undeniable truth.

[Liz]

Another reason to thank God Hillary lost.

Lanny sitting on the USSC as her appointee, and sucking-up to Hillary at the same time.

“We’re talking scientific notation to adequately represent the sleeziness of Lanny Davis.”

He’s never been able to clean off the slime from when he first broke out of his rubbery egg shell.

“...Rosenstein’s appointment document (ORDER NO. 3915-2017) for Mueller was specifically for Mueller to investigate Trump ONLY!”

Thanks Jeff.

[Montana_Sam]

Yep - got to agree with that.
Much as I hate to admit it, Sessions is a swamp creature.

[drpix]

Thanks. But isn't it funny how they can interpret the clause “and any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation” to involve anybody at anytime on any matter as long as it doesn't involve the Hillary & Obama Deep State's involvement with the Russians during that 2016 campaign & election.

Excellent point.
