I've come to that same conclusion. Cohen is a hero! He was getting the screws laid to him. He made up a bunch of stuff that he KNEW was false in order to plead guilty to some stupid stuff. The "campaign" stuff he pled to was nothing...and he never claimed Trump was the "Candidate". He just said "candidate". So the media and Lanny Davis look like a bunch of liars, Cohen is clear, and Trump ends up smelling like a rose.
Or maybe Lanny is just another dumb bunny who thought any lie would be protected by the media. Easier to believe than some convoluted conspiracy that has Cohen emerging as a hero...
“He made up a bunch of stuff that he KNEW was false in order to plead guilty to some stupid stuff.”
I don’t get it. Why would someone do that?
Cohen (played by Frank Pantangeli): "Oh, Donald Trump, No. I never heard of it. I never heard of nothing like that. I was in the real estate business with his him a long time ago. That's all.
The FBI guys promised me a deal. So I made up a lot of stuff about Donald Trump and his kids. Because then, that's what they wanted. But it was all lies. Everything. They said Donald Trump did this, Donald Trump did that. So I said, "Yeah, sure."
