Lanny Davis, the attorney for former Trump fixer Michael Cohen, said President Trump's team of lawyers are "witnesses against him" and prove that his client was directed to make payments on Mr. Trump's behalf to keep his alleged affairs quiet.

Best part is we get him for 6 1/2 more years.

Wow, Lanny was filled with weasel words on Fox this morning. He’s coordinating (unofficially) with the leftist lawyers in the Southern District of NY, IMHO.

What is the crime Donald Trump is guilty of? Paying off nuisance interference in his campaign? Where’s the crime in that? Serious question.

This is kinda funny. I believe that ALL high profile elected officials have enough skeletons in their closets to land them in prison.
The statement has no meaning to me.

Lanny, you soul-less bottomfeeder. Call Mark Levin , and let him explain to you why paying those two guttersnipes with private money is NOT a crime.

Exactly.
No, they just hired PIs, intimidadted women, and men, and if that didn’t work those people mysteriously committed suicide, some with prejudice.

Paying people to shut up is a serious affront to any member of the Clinton inner circle.
Payments encourage future threats of blabbering. Killing potential big mouths is the remedy of choice.
Nobody reneges on the deal and nobody is encouraged to follow suit.

Cohen got rolled into hiring Lanny, just like Trump got rolled letting an independent prosecutor get hired.
