decision to leave the joint defense group and tell the truth july 2, 2018 michael was open to the ongoing dangling of a possible pardon by the trump representatives and in the media. after july 2 mr. trump authorized me as a new lawyer to say mr. cohen would never accept a pardon from president trump even if offered. that tips to be the case. how do we square that based on the and the words of michael cohen that i just played for you, sir? the reason i m smiling so much. i know lanny davis. is he a very smart guy. he is also frankly a very funny guy in private. but, he is also one of hillary rodham clinton s closest friends. i mean the whole spectacle of hillary clinton s close friend manipulating michael cohen and i personally believe a lot of the nastiest language in cohen s statement came from lanny who is having a great time. is he getting paid to attack hillary clinton s opponent who defeated hillary. it makes him feel better.
pain as he possibly can because he obviously doesn t understand his own situation and is he just lashing out at the world. this is unfortunate to see this actually play out the way it is. bill: lanny davis, his attorney, you know he was sitting behind michael cohen last week. he ushered him through congress before that hearing. he put out a long statement just part part of michael copen s decision to lead the defense group and tell the truth july 2, 2018 mike cat was open to the ongoing dangling of a possible pardon. during that time he directed his attorney to explore possibilities of a pardon. i have gone through that statement i don t hear lanny davis say this is not true. do you? this is the patro problem michal cohen needed an attorney not a publicity agent. lanny davis trying to fain his own career. mr. cohen needed an actual attorney. obviously he was let down by. this maybe he needs to check into that.

friends, nothing can do that. and i have never asked for nor why accept a pardon from president trump. bill: oso now apparently that s not the case. rudy giuliani last hour sent this out. dem star cohen testified never asked for a pardon from president trump. he directed his attorney to explore a pardon. never means never ever not after july 2, 2018 which is the latest deception. another perjury and more prison. it is not often where 8 days later, richard, you can look back at this and say was this guy just flat out lying? and if lanny davis is the one who brought him to lawmakers on capitol hill and knew about his opening statement, how do you allow that line to be in your sworn deposition? listen, michael cohen is no boy scout. michael cohen is a liar and a fool all self-admitted. here is my i think here is the holes that the republicans have a problem with. here are the holes for the white house. in this testimony michael
