Dershowitz: No Crime’ in Trump-Cohen Tape, Cohen’s ‘Going to Flip’
Breitbart ^ | 24 Jul 2018 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 07/25/2018 6:08:07 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

On Tuesday’s edition of CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time,” Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz reacted to the release of a tape of a conversation between Donald Trump and Michael Cohen by stating that Cohen is “going to flip.” He added that even if everything Cohen’s lawyer, Lanny Davis says is true, “there’s no crime. There’s no federal crime. There’s no impeachable offense.”

Dershowitz began by saying, “I don’t know why anybody waived the lawyer-client communication regarding this tape.”

He continued, “[H]ere you have the client maybe saying, let’s pay cash. The lawyer says, no, no, no, do it by check. And the client comes back and says, I’ll do it by check. That’s a typical conversation. I’ve had that conversation a dozen times with clients, and you persuade them to do the right thing. But I think the big picture here is, number one, Lanny is a terrific lawyer. And so, there is a real lawyer who is now against Trump, unlike Avenatti and some of the others, a really, really good lawyer who’s on this case. Second of all, you have a situation where, you know, he’s going to flip. There’s no question. He’s now made it clear.”

Cohen says he’s coming clean for “his country” BS
he’s a coward.

A man of faith has courage to stand firmly for what is right.

I believe Cohen is a coward. Is the term “chicken shi.t” allowable?

"Lanny has probably ADVISED Cohen to flip, to sing, and to COMPOSE like crazy."

Yes, and he was assured he will be well-compensated by the Corrupt Clinton Cabal - and for good measure, they'll make sure no harm comes to his kids and/or his cat.

Lanny Davis is a vile creature that lives up Hillary’s butt and only comes out to do her bidding

Yes, but Cohen, Davis and others need to think ahead. The Left so wants to turn the US into something resembling a South American banana republic. Those types of societies often have death squads on the left and the right with the privileged living in heavily defended compounds where you can never trust anybody. Such a great future if they succeed.

The name of the game is throwing Trump out of office by any means necessary.

I disagree. I don't think they want to get rid of Trump, they just want to muck up the works for him and to give them time to cover the A$$ of everyone who was involved in REAL treasonous acts by Obama, Clinton and their cohorts!

If this is an "investigation," then it is the WORST one of all time. At this point, I am more willing to believe the "magic bullet" in the Warren Report than ANYTHING that comes out of the Mueller investigation. He has leaked more stuff than he could ever prove in court (which is why it is being leaked instead of prosecuted) and he is giving out immunity like a drunken sailor throwing out dollar bills in his first port of liberty, after six months at sea, sitting in a strip club at midnight!

This is a COVER UP and the longer it takes to get to the nothing-burger which is what comprises the whole collusion story - the better for those doing the covering!

“Yes, but Cohen, Davis and others need to think ahead.”

They’re hopeless Swamp dwellers, every one of them. None of them see beyond the here & now and what’s in it for them.

“I like this President but he and his family sure linked up with some scum bag losers as friends and associates”

These “scum” are the movers and shakers who inhabit this lost world we are living in.

If Cohen was going to flip he would have a long time ago.

They were fools to give up privilege.
Never should have done it.
There are more tapes. Fight them at every turn, only dictatorships destroy your legal avenues of defense, and that is where we are.
This whole attack on Trump is so far out from anything done before, we have wrongfully created horrible precedents that will destroy more people for political discrimination. It has to be stopped.

The reason for allowing the release of this is to keep them busy on nothing.

They STILL haven’t figured out that PDJT finds endless ways to consume their minds!!! They fall for it EVERY time. lol.

I reckon Q is just some idiot who made up a story to post on 4chan for fun and it got a lot more attention than he ever planned on. Quite possibly the original poster handed it off to another person or group of people around the time the posts switched to 8chan, because there is evidence from the owner of 4chan that someone else started posting on the account right before that switch.

Generally speaking, it comes with the territory. Remember David and Bathsheba?

That is what I find comical about this. The troubling part is that they will try to nail him on an unpaid parking ticket if they can. If there is any tiny piece of this that broke any tiny or archaic law, it will not be good. This is actually what Tucker Carlson warned about when the Mueller investigation was started. The gist was that there is not a powerful man on the planet that could survive such an investigation.

At this point, the best course of action for any of us little people, I suspect, is to buy more ammo.

He can flip, but there isn’t any collusion.

Which begs the question: "flip on what?"

There's no collusion and no evidence anywhere that PDJT did anything illegal. Period.

So, "flip on what?"

Here's what: If Cohen "flips" it means he's LYING.

"Flip" in this case means to not tell the truth in order to save one's own ass. So what does Mueller have on Cohen?

I definitely heard Trump say “Don’t pay with cash. Here’s what I heard starting at the 3:21, 5:45, 7:25 marks on the recording.

Cohen: when it comes time for the financing, which will be
Trump: Listen ... what financing?
Cohen: Well I have to pay him with something
Trump: Don’t pay with cash
Cohen: No, no, no, no, I got, no, no, no
Trump: check
