One of the most bizarre aspects of the investigations engulfing the Trump administration is the lawyers involved. Here we have a presidency on the line, and this is Trump's team? The top legal spokesmen for each side are . . . Rudy Giuliani and Lanny Davis!? Up until this point, though, Giuliani was the Great Contradictor and Davis was merely a colorful character. Now that has changed in a big way. In a new interview with The Washington Post's Tom Hamburger and Rosalind S. Helderman, Davis is backing off two massive claims he made in recent weeks, including that former...

The Washington Post reported on Sunday that Davis said in an interview that he is “no longer certain about claims he made to reporters on background and on the record in recent weeks about what Cohen knows about Trump’s awareness of the Russian efforts.” Davis told The Washington Post that he cannot confirm media reports that Cohen is prepared to tell special counsel Robert S. Mueller III that Trump had advance knowledge of the 2016 Trump Tower meeting –WaPo CNN reported in July that Cohen claimed to have witnessed Trump approving the meeting between Trump Jr. and Russian attorney Natalia...

Lanny, shilling his book The Unmaking of the President 2016: How FBI Director Comey Cost Hillary Clinton the Presidency Per the Washington Post: Davis did not rule out that his claims were correct but expressed regret that he did not explain that he could not independently corroborate them, saying that he now believes he “should have been more clear.” [...]Davis told The Washington Post that he cannot confirm media reports that Cohen is prepared to tell special counsel Robert S.

An attorney for Michael Cohen, President Trump’s former lawyer, is backing away from confident assertions he made that Cohen has information to share with investigators that shows Trump knew in 2016 of Russian efforts to undermine Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Lanny Davis, a spokesman and attorney for Cohen, said in an interview this weekend that he is no longer certain about claims he made to reporters on background and on the record in recent weeks about what Cohen knows about Trump’s awareness of the Russian efforts.

What do you do when your party has no viable policies acceptable to voters and no candidate to credibly lead them? I wanted to find out, so I wandered over to the Café California, where Democrats never leave. I'm old enough that with a bit of padding and an ugly large hat, I could look like a Bella Abzug wannabe, and I sat in the middle of the room, turning my hearing aids up to full blast. I couldn't stare at the speakers and don't know most of them, so I can't give you their names, but this is what...

NOTE: Just because Lanny Davis, the ultimate Clinton spinmeister, declares his client guilty doesn’t mean he committed a crime. So good luck with the ongoing shilling for Michael Cohen, hope that GoFundMe works out for you. And RIP Senator McCain; regardless of everything else he did to tick me off I’m giving him a political pass simply for his five years as a POW in that Hanoi Hellhole. Please don’t speak ill of the dead today. Posted from: MOTUS A.D.

Lanny Davis, the longtime Clinton confidant who is also the attorney for former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, is on the payroll of a pro-Moscow Ukrainian oligarch with direct ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin. According to Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) records reviewed by Conservative Review, Davis is an active registered foreign agent for Ukrainian billionaire Dmytro Firtash. A review of his social media records shows that Davis has never tweeted about his Ukrainian client, seemingly preferring to advocate quietly for Firtash, who faces enormous legal issues in courtrooms across the world. Firtash’s ties to Putin have been exposed in...

During a panel discussion on Thursday’s Special Report, Fox News anchor Bret Baier was amazed that the same network news organizations that hyped anonymous claims Donald Trump knew in advance about the 2016 Trump Tower meeting between campaign aides and a Russian lawyer refused to correct the record when it was revealed on Wednesday that such claims were completely false.   “There was a story that [former Trump attorney Michael] Cohen was going to say to Mueller and his investigators that President Trump, candidate Trump, knew about the...Trump Tower meeting beforehand...” Baier explained. He added: “And everybody went crazy with...

VideoEven as Michael Cohen attorney Lanny Davis disproved media claims that his client accused President Trump of knowing about a 2016 Trump Tower meeting between campaign aides and a Russian lawyer in advance, the broadcast networks refused to correct the record. Those same networks eagerly hyped the news when it first broke in July.(FNC’s Baier Stunned) Media Didn’t Correct False Cohen ‘Bombshell’.

"How can I describe what a great friend you are....? I can't...The honest to goodness truth is, : Aside from Carolyn, my four children, and my immediate family, I consider you to be the best friend and the best person I have met in my long life. You know that from the dedication and appreciation of you I have always felt and expressed to you over four decades."

@realDonaldTrump Michael Cohen plead guilty to two counts of campaign finance violations that are not a crime. President Obama had a big campaign finance violation and it was easily settled! 6:37 AM - 22 Aug 2018

Earlier today, Michael Cohen’s lawyer Lanny Davis who is also a lobbyist for a Russian oligarch with close ties to Putin was on FoxNews making the case for why Michael Cohen is a martyr in the noble cause of bringing down Trump. Keep in mind this is the same Michael Cohen the left has been claiming made surreptitious visits to the Czech Republic in order to meet with Russian intelligence operatives and help steal the election from Hillary Clinton. This is the same Michael Cohen that absolutely no one believed three or four months ago. But now that he’s implicated...

State investigators have subpoenaed Michael Cohen as part of their criminal probe into his old boss President Trump’s nonprofit Trump Foundation. The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance confirmed the subpoena Wednesday — less than 24 hours after Cohen admitted in court that he paid hush money to two women at Trump’s behest “for the purposes of influencing the election.” The court summons comes after Cohen’s attorney said his client had information that state and federal investigators might find helpful.

A person close to Lanny Davis's law firm tells me there is no conflict between him simultaneously representing Cohen and Manafort-linked Ukrainian oligarch Dmtryo Firtash....

RUSH: Now, Lanny Davis apparently was on NBC. He was on the Megyn Kelly show and you know what happened? He goes on Megyn Kelly’s show and he made a direct appeal to viewers to give money to Michael Cohen. Lanny Davis said, “Could I take one opportunity to remind everyone that Michael Cohen has suffered a tragic and difficult experience with his family. He’s without resources, and we’ve set up a website called MichaelCohentruth.com that we’re hoping that he will get some help from the American people so he can continue to tell the truth.” And Megyn Kelly said,...
