Michael Cohen hires Hillary Clinton's lawyer & Hillary Clinton supporter, Lanny Davis - GoFuckYourself.com

Michael Cohen Hires Former Clinton Attorney Lanny Davis

Michael Cohen, beleaguered former personal attorney for President Donald Trump, has hired Lanny Davis, a Washington-based lawyer who in the late 1990s advised then-President Bill Clinton as his legal troubles were unfolding.

Davis confirmed Thursday that he is representing Cohen, a previously fierce Trump defender who has been under investigation by federal prosecutors in New York for months.

Davis’ hiring may come as a surprise considering his previous history as a tireless defender of the Clintons ― or as no surprise given speculation about Cohen’s growing displeasure with Trump.

“Like most of America, I have been following the matter regarding Michael Cohen with great interest,” Davis said in a statement provided to HuffPost.

“As an attorney, I have talked to Michael many times in the last two weeks,” Davis continued. “Then I read his words published on July 2, and I recognized his sincerity. Michael Cohen deserves to tell his side of the story ― subject, of course, to the advice of counsel.”

In a July 2 interview with ABC News, Cohen said he intended to “put family and country first” in the federal investigation. “To be crystal clear, my wife, my daughter and my son, and this country have my first loyalty,” he said.

Cohen’s words suggested that his priorities have shifted away from loyalty to Trump less than a year after saying he would “take a bullet for the president.” Many speculate that Cohen is now willing to “flip” on Trump and cooperate with prosecutors including special counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

On Cohen’s legal team, Davis joins attorney Guy Petrillo, who once headed up the criminal division in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York ― the same office now investigating Cohen.

Davis traces his connection to the Clintons back to Yale Law School where he first met Hillary Rodham, he told The New York Times. He defended Bill Clinton as he was being investigated for possible campaign finance violations, leaving before the president’s affair with Monica Lewinsky had stirred up nonstop news coverage.

But even after his departure in early 1998, Davis appeared as a pro-Clinton talking head “on sometimes two or three programs a night,” he recalled in 2013. He said the stress of that period took a toll on his health.

Cohen has come under investigation for possible bank fraud, wire fraud and campaign finance violations on a referral from Mueller’s team. An FBI raid on the lawyer’s home, hotel room and office shocked and infuriated Trump in early April.

They've already started labeling Lanny Davis a Harvey Weinstein scum in an attempt to make Cohen look dirty.

Cohen keeps saying how he "values his country". What does this have to do with "his country"? He is not being charged with reason.... Is he?

Perhaps deep down inside he doesn't like what Trump is doing to harm our democracy.

Boozer · 07-06-2018, 04:06 PM

Cohen only values "his country" when it is convenient for him.

He's also a registered democrat that voted for Obama. So clearly he does care about the country

He's signaling he's no longer loyal to trump.

Bladewire · 07-06-2018, 04:24 PM

Trump immediately threw Michael Cohen under the bus. Durring his fox & friends call in he used the word "business" 35 times to describe what Michael Cohen does.

I just hate it when people suddenly put a lapel on their suit and claim they are patriotic. You cannot suddenly claim to be patriotic because you are running for office or because you are caught up in a scandal involving the President.

I am a third generation US Marine. Since then I've been involved with multiple charity groups for both current members of our armed forces and veterans. I put out my American flag every morning; I run the all of the events on the 4th of July for my hometown.

I'm not saying I am super patriotic, but.... Mr. trump is a multi millionaire and what has he done for our military or our country before he decided to run for office? With the money Mr. trump has and the connections he has, he could have performed miracles. Instead... He ran a foundation which was nothing more than a sham.

So what has Cohen done to be patriotic? Did he serve in the military? Doe he support any veteran or military groups? Does he support any charities that aren't scams? Truth be told he interned for a Congressman, and ran for New York City Council (but was badly beaten). But I don't see anything in his life where he ever did anything for anyone other himself or his business associates.

He says he "needs to do what's right for his country" but has he ever done ANYTHING for his country?

I hate people like this. Suddenly he is patriotic. Being patriotic is a way of life, not something you get to proclaim when you are potentially being accused of treason. (That's the direct opposite of patriotic.) If he wanted to "do what's right for his country" he should have started doing it forty years ago. I am not saying he needs to serve in the military; Being in the military isn't a requirement for being patriotic. However, being patriotic requires a little something more than just paying your taxes.

dyna mo · 07-06-2018, 07:46 PM

You're the one assuming he doesn't have pyro guys, not me.

I'm the one pointing out you have no idea how patriotic or not he is. He certainly doesn't run around thumping his chest about how patriotic he is. Most people don't.

I've had Dyna Ho blocked for a couple weeks now he's just another alt-right hate nic that insults people not alt right and says he hates Trump, then defends everything Trump does.
