seeing Lanny Davis as Cohen’s lawyer freaks me out. Lanny is one of Hillary’s lapdogs. This is wrong on so many levels.
“Lanny is one of Hillary’s lapdogs.”
I look at it this way ... if Davis is involved, then *something* is pressuring Hillary to get Davis involved. That’s speculation, nothing more :-). But *something* has to be going on where Hillary is starting to feel some kind of heat if they’re starting to drag out the greatest hits list of scumbags of the 90s.
If anyone thought something like this wasn’t going to happen to Trump, they’re politically naive ... he *had* to have been expecting this the moment they “got” Cohen and *must* be anticipating them to do more.
We have to pray the good guys’ strategy is in action and will work, and we have to get out the vote this fall to insure the President has some political capital to bring down some justice.
We still have the upper hand folks ... don’t let all of this doom and gloom get you down. This “charge” is a sick joke. It can certainly morph into something more, but it’s up to us to do our part to prevent that by praying and getting out the vote.
Holding the House doesn’t end this since we certainly have RINOs to deal with, but keeping the House will be a crushing blow to the Dems and will give the President more leverage to put an end to these people’s sick fascination with their Deep State.
Lanny needs to be disbarred for the way he’s playing his own agenda here.
Yep, and it’s why she and her husband should have been targeted for prosecution decades ago.
Just my opinion only, but Lanny would be behind bars if everything were known.
Imagine the political balance in the U. S. if every person Hillary had committed crimes with, had been prosecuted.
I don’t know why Cohen chose Lanny Davis. It would seem if not a legal conflict at least a personal and emotional one. But, it appears as if Cohen has done some dirt so they got him one way or another. Of course, had Trump lost or never ran for office we would never even know who Cohen was and he probably would never have been caught for any of the stuff they have on him now.
There is still a problem with lawyer-client privilege. For all intents and purposes the only way to break the privilege here is if Cohen committed a crime with his client, or knew about a crime in advance. Unless they went hand in hand into some criminal endeavor, anything Trump told Cohen after the fact should be privileged. So even if Trump literally hacked a server by himself and paid Putin for dirt and stuffed the WI ballot box with phony ballots all of it would be privileged. I imagine Trump’s new lawyers would be able to quash such testimony.
The thing is, this isn’t going to go to court of law it is going to court of public opinion and, maybe, to Congress. I don’t know how privilege would work in the case of Congressional testimony - but if they tried to put Cohen on the stand to rat Trump out I would be the judge would not allow it.
FYI IANAL
I’m still slack jawed at seeing that yesterday, as well.
I respect Alan Dershowitz, yet anything that comes out of the mouth of Davis is a radical left lie.
Strange times.
