Mark Levin: ‘Donald Trump Is in the Clear’ — ‘Lanny Davis Blew It,’ ‘You Are a Dummy, Lanny’
Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” conservative talker and legal expert Mark Levin criticized the plea deal Michael Cohen made with the prosecutor for the Southern District of New York regarding campaign finance law violations.
Levin argued Cohen pled guilty to the charge despite them not being offenses and at the behest of the prosecutor who insisted they were offenses.
Partial transcript as follows:
HANNITY: All right, Mark, I mean, there are some lessons here. I agree that you shouldn’t lie to the FBI. Everyone agrees with that. I also agree that you should pay your taxes. I also agree that you better not lie on a bank loan application. Mark, how did we get from Russia and that this is it after nearly, we are almost at 500 days.
LEVIN: All right. I want to address Michael Cohen. How did we get to that? I want to help the law professors, the constitutional experts, the criminal defense lawyers, the former prosecutors and of course, the professors. I want to help them understand what the law is.
The general counsel for the Clinton mob family, Lanny Davis, he had his client pleaded two counts of criminality that don’t exist. These campaign finance violations that is all over TV, they are saying implicates the president of the United States directly.

Regardless, the left will pursue their get Trump agenda.
This is going to play out. A lot of “experts” will be eating crow. A lit will be celebrating victories.
That's a given under any scenario.
GOP voters have great resentment toward the MSM Trump Haters Society. The deep resentment, may be enough to motivate
voters to turn out in large number.
Yep, and they get away with this crap because we no longer have a Republican party but a RINO party that does absolutely NOTHING. Republican majority and they just sit on their asses while this unbelievable abuse goes on, absolutely pathetic. I mean what’s next, is Mueller going to go after Trump limo driver for unpaid parking tickets?
That was one hell of a read. Excellent.
When I passed the TV in the lobby this morning, the text at the bottom of the CNN screen had “hush money” in it. This article clarifies that that is irrelevant, except for in the court of public opinion, where nobody that matters takes CNN seriously any more.
“despite them not being offenses and at the behest of the prosecutor who insisted they were offenses.”
Sessions’ fault.
Any doubts that Davis, a lifetime Clinton apparatchik and fixer, sold Cohen out at Clinton’s behest?
Good interview. Everyone should go read/watch it! Good ammo against the left that will be shrieking about Trump committing crimes today.
I hope he is right. More to the point, we are witnessing a coup being done in the clear and no one is willing to stop it; take them on; or frankly authorizing to take them out.
“By making payments to two women for the principal purpose of influencing an election. If those payments were a crime for Michael Cohen then why wouldn’t they be a crime for Donald Trump?”
They weren’t a crime for Michael Cohen. He screwed himself.
...
My guess is he was threatened with more serious charges or longer jail time, so that’s why he agreed to the political deal.
Lawyers and the left wing hate filled media perpetuate this sort of thing that will go on for another 7 years.
Remember that Lanny Davis is not the criminal defense counsel here. He is a mouthpiece, a PR hack, a public face. He did not negotiate the plea but rather is spinning it.
BFL
Exactly my thought. He sacrificed the dupe, Cohen, for a Greater Cause.
Trump has got to know that even if he lasts out a second term, these vultures will pursue him to destroy him personally and commercially long past his public service. The vultures are both the rabid dems and the GOPe who are enraged he took the dinner plate away from their banquet.

The president needs to hire Levin as his lead attorney on this matter. Quickly!!
