When will Cohen realize that Lanny is working for Hillary?

Lanny Davis, perjury subornation architect, and we have “pwoof.”

“I have never asked for, nor would I accept, a pardon from President Trump.”

I think Trump should pardon him and then, when he accepts it, prosecute him for perjury in the statement that he would not accept one. Make sure he gets 30 years this time.

LANNY UP CLOSE---Few men in history have ever been able to summon up the kind of slavish loyalty Lanny Davis has for the Clintons......
shameless, transparent deceit and corruption. not even a trace of integrity......like the Clintons.

Davis is the personification of Deep State denizens. Cringingly slavish to those in power, a consigliere,
their fundraiser, their surrogate in times of trouble, and a smiling liar.

Lanny Davis once told Hillary that she was the best person he has ever met in his whole life. I guess Lanny never got out much.

Took a minute to get Lanny’s mouth off of Hillary's ***.

Er, no it’s not. Cohen explicitly stated that “I had never asked for” a pardon, not that he hadn’t asked for one recently. His testimony (and Davis’ explanation) are at least seriously misleading, if not outright false. Davis acknowledges that Cohen directed his attorneys at the time to ask about a pardon. That’s morally the same thing as asking about one himself, and might suffice legally if anyone decided to prosecute this as a point of perjury. At the very least, it was outrageous fabulism under oath for Cohen to paint himself as a courageous Resister!® by laying out this claim.

“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.” “The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.” “The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master—that's all.”

RE: When will Cohen realize that Lanny is working for Hillary?

He knows. However, His main concern is NOT THAT. He just wants to serve as little time in jail as possible and the only way to do it is to kowtow to the Democrats’ meme.

The problem with hiring Lanny Davis as your lawyer is that you might accidentally think that he is working for you. Bad mistake.

[Jeff Chandler]

I’m sure it wasn’t his intent, so there’s nothing to see here, move along.

[gloryblaze]

Lanny has his lawyer forked tongue going again. But the president will have some fun with this one.

[allendale]

Who specifically is paying Lanny Davis and has stashed some money somewhere for Cohen?

Especially if you have no idea who is paying him.

IIRC, that's what Cohen testified to when asked.

He is a liar, and I doubt he has a pardon in his future. But he essentially exonerated Trump. Did Trump ask you to lie? No. Did he collude with Russia? No. Does he beat his wife? No, unthinkable. Did you go to Prague? No.

He made it a point to insult Trump, but his factual testimony supports Trump. I suspect his family, his wife and in-laws were threatened with prosecution, note him practically begging that his family be left in peace. But he had no testimony to give against Trump, which is why he is going to jail. If he had anything useful to say against Trump, he’d have struck a better plea deal.

Great points, thanks!

And Dumbass Jared and Ivanka have Clinton’s lawyer, Jamie Gorelich!!~~ And someone else has ABBY LOWELL, ANOTHER lefty Democrat!!

[Ann Archy]

Lanny drinks Hilliary’s bathwater! What a HORRIBLE human being he is.

• Did Trump ask you to lie? No.
• Did he collude with Russia? No.
• Does he beat his wife? No, unthinkable.
• Did you go to Prague? No.

Fake, fake, fake fake!
