So, let me get this straight, the lawyer for Clinton Inc. represents Michael Cohen without payment, and negotiates a plea statement that is exactly what the left has been trying to fabricate for more than two years?
Might be time to think about an ethics complaint, representing Cohen without payment to create all the anti-Trump spots that Davis did yesterday sure seems to show a conflict of interest.

One would think that Cohen (or maybe a friend of the court) should file a motion that Lanny Davis is a conflicted attorney because he can't represent both Hillary Clinton's interest and Michael Cohen's interest because they oppose each other. Davis should have been a vociferous defender of Cohen's rights, but to do that would go against the Clinton's interests.

Therefore, anything that Davis did on Cohen's behalf must be tossed out, and Cohen should be given council that has HIS interests first, like challenging the evidence gained from the illegal search of his property, or challenging the privileged communications between him and Trump.

I don't think Lanny Davis negotiated anything on behalf of Cohen. In fact, Davis isn't even a "real" lawyer at all. He's a political operative, and the only reason for Cohen to have him on his legal team is so Davis can be a P.R. guy without being subject to a subpoena in a criminal or civil court proceeding.

The reality here is that Lanny Davis is as much a P.R. guy for himself and his PAYING clients (the Clintons) as he is for Cohen.

Omgosh, you’re right. Davis was a Clinton attorney. And Martha Stewart’s As well.

“ He is the co-founder and partner of the law firm of Davis Goldberg & Galper PLLC, and co-founder and partner of the public relations firm Trident DMG. From 1996 to 1998, he served as a special counsel to President Bill Clinton, and was a spokesperson for the President and the White House on matters concerning campaign-finance investigations and other legal issues”
