OMG: Lanny Davis Says He Was A Source For CNN’s Trump Tower Story

Cohen didn't have any sort of deal with the prosecutors. He pleaded guilty without a specific deal. The prosecutors didn't even know he was going to implicate Trump. Cohen could even get the maximum sentence, though that's unlikely.
 

It was quite suspicious when they started to make up non existent crimes. Their goals were transparent.
 
Why would someone like Davis, with all his connection, experience, notoriety and wealth, make a complete ASS out of himself and concoct these lies just to hurt Donald Trump?
Davis isn't going to knowingly lie to the public. Who do you think he is, Rudy Giuliani?

Either Davis made a huge mistake, or Cohen lied to Davis.

By the way, Giuliani can only get away with massive lies and sounding like a blithering idiot, because his client (Trump) is not facing a courtroom any time soon. He's trying to sway public opinion, primarily for the Fox News crowd. If Giuliani acted like this with any other client, he'd eventually get disbarred for legal malpractice.

"The total maximum term of imprisonment on counts 1 through 8 is 65 years"

"Based upon the calculations set forth above, the defendants guidelines range is either 51 to 63 months imprisonment by the governments calculations, or 46 to 57 months impression by the defendants calculations".





Paying attention is fundamental.

Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....Lanny lied.
 

Davis clearly misspoke. If there is no other way to tell you can tell from the specific wording of his retraction when he says "I have no direct knowledge that Cohen will contradict his Congressional hearing testimony". Davis goes on to say that Guy Patrillo, Cohen'a actual attorney may know. But he Davis does not.

The nature of the Davis retraction is not known at this point. I have an idea but only an idea.

You are right. It would be a stretch to say that Davis lied. He misspoke and then retracted. We will just have to wait and see.

Also, before I forget, Cohen did not likely lie to Davis either though who knows what he actually said to Davis. May not have said anything directly to Davis.

Agreed.
I understand that ol' Lanny is known less as a trial attorney and more as a PR attorney ... like you said before ... and that likely has a lot to do with this fumble.

What on earth makes you say that ... all of that.
 

He was probably trying to keep interest up in the Go Fund Me, which is actually Go Fund Lanny.

He was pitching a story already known to be false. So much for due diligence before you speak for your client. Don’t forget he is the Clinton Crime Family lawyer and apparently has the juice to not have his office raided to see what Hillary was up to.
 

Lanny doing what Lanny does best, being a partisan hack and a liar. So like what else is new?
 
Exactly. Is this guy hard up for cash?
 

That is bull****. Clinton associates have been proven over and over to be beyond the reach of justice. Lanny Davis “Clintonized” him, and he will not be touched to any great degree.

Cohens is probably been frozen, and his earning power is kaput, and Lanny Davis is not working for free, so a healthy Go Fund Me guarantees income Davis has payment rights to.

The Clintons will see that he doesn’t starve.

Ousting Trump is a charity project many are willing to sign onto, It is great for their brand.
