- CNN reported on July 27 that Michael Cohen is willing to tell investigators that Donald Trump authorized the infamous Trump Tower meeting with a group of Russians
- But Cohen’s lawyer now says that bombshell report got “mixed up”
- Lanny Davis says that Cohen “does not” have information that Trump had prior knowledge about the meeting

A CNN report in July that Michael Cohen has information that President Donald Trump was aware of the infamous Trump Tower meeting before it occurred got “mixed up” and was inaccurate, Cohen attorney Lanny Davis said Wednesday night.

“So Michael Cohen does not have information that President Trump knew about the Trump Tower meeting with the Russians beforehand or even after?” CNN’s Anderson Cooper asked Davis.

“No, he does not,” replied Davis, a longtime Clinton insider who started representing Cohen earlier this summer.

I can't get the DC video player to work. Does anybody have a working link to the Cooper-Davis interview where Davis said, "No, he does not"

CNN got "mixed up." Imagine that.

“Well, I think the reporting of the story got mixed up in the course of a criminal investigation. We were not the source of the story. And the question of a criminal investigation, the advice we were given, those of us dealing with the media is that we could not do anything other than stay silent,” Davis told Cooper.

Are they trying to walk back the narrative?

There was no crime and there was no collusion and there will not be an impeachment.

We all know this. The Trump Haters don’t.
They were 100% certain that Hillary would win. They went insane when she lost.

What are they going to do when this whole investigation ends in a whimper and not a bang?

It was almost funny at the time watching them melt, but now I am almost a little fearful of their reaction.

There’s always a first. And that first is I’ve never seen FR be supportive of something Lanny Davis said or did.

Different story with transcript here:

Davis is yes, a Clinton stooge, we all know that. But he’s a lawyer and wants to continue being one, so that implies a responsibility to defend his client truthfully.

These lies flashed all around the world via airport TV. Soros/Clinton/Obama/Mueller could not have done better if they had tried. The attempted Coup d’ etat continues.

Lanny Davis also said with 100% certainty to sleepy eyes Chuck Todd at MSNBC that Cohen not in Prague. Period! even though the Steele Dossier implicated Cohen as being in Prague meeting with Russians in 2016. Davis then basically said the Dossier is false on that piece of Intelligence.

Something that Fox Opinion shows like Hannity, Tucker and Laura have been reporting all along. So now we have Lanny Davis, an attorney who is also a Democrat and long-time CLinton ally stating unequivocally that Cohen was not, as the Steele Dossier stated, in Prague meeting with Russians.

Yesterday Hannity said he likes Lanny Davis.

Hannity seems to like a lot of leftists. Juan Williams, Joe Lieberman, Heraldo to name a few. Lord knows he, along with Tucker and Laura Ingram, gives enough vile leftists air time to spew their bile (disguised as "debate") on his radio and TV show.

Years ago I was disgusted and lost all respect for G. Gordon Liddy when he introduced his good friend Lanny Davis on his radio show (yes G. Gordon Liddy had a radio show in the 90s).

I'm thinking lots of ammo and a scenario not unlike the movie "The Purge."

"....Yesterday Hannity said he likes Lanny Davis....."

I don't honestly care who Hannity likes.

Lanny Davis has always been an egg sucking, dirt bag, junkyard dog of an attorney. And his long time close relationship with the Clintons along with his butt kissing excuse for a book is all the proof anyone should need.

But you most certainly have your right to like or admire anyone you wish; not questioning that whatsoever.

Even if he had prior knowledge, there is still no crime. There isn’t even an ethical issue.

This is just a means of avoiding what really did happen. Fusion is simultaneously on DNC and Russia’s payroll. The infamous “Russian lawyer” is Fusion and DNC. Christopher Steele is simultaneously on DNC, FBI, and Russian payroll. Podesta, Clintons’ brain-fixer-manager et al, is on Russia’s payroll. The Clintons themselves are on Russia’s payroll. Mueller himself helped to cover up Russian crimes in the US.

All the “alphabet” networks are going on about Trump “collusion” with Russia. Fox spends its time refuting charges of Trump colluding with Russia. No one digs into the actual facts of the matter, which is that the Clintons, and Obama’s DOJ, were in bed with the Russians, with actual money changing hands, and actual favors delivered.

The fact that Lanny Davis of Clinton Crime Family fame, and notoriety is now representing Cohen means one thing to me. The Clinton’s are now representing Cohen, which means Cohen is theirs until death they do part.

There is no possible way to doubt Cohen has been bought, and paid for one way, or the other by the Clinton’s.
