Much like former White House aide Omarosa, Michael Cohen’s damning story about President Trump seems to be unraveling. (RELATED: Omarosa Undermines Her Whole Story With Latest Leak.)
As you well know, Cohen struck a plea deal this week that, while reducing likely legal punishment for breaking federal law, also implicated Trump in the crime of not disclosing a campaign contribution, which was in the form of hush money paid to a mistress. And while Cohen was once a loyal soldier of Trump, he’s now turned on his former boss in the most ignominious manner, citing his father’s experience in the Holocaust to justify his treachery. (RELATED: Michael Cohen Claims His Father Invoked Holocaust to Have Him Turn on Trump.)
If that wasn’t bad enough, Cohen’s credibility is about to take another tumble. Last month, Cohen told media outlets he was willing to tell Special Counsel Robert Mueller that Trump knew about the controversial Trump Tower meeting with a Russian lawyer that some speculate is a sign of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.
Yet, Cohen testified before Congress that he has no idea if Trump knew of the meeting beforehand.
Jonathan Swan reports:
Michael Cohen told lawmakers last year, in sworn testimony, that he didn’t know whether then-candidate Donald Trump had foreknowledge of the 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Russians, three sources with knowledge of Cohen’s testimony tell Axios.
The big picture: And Cohen still doesn’t know whether Trump knew about the infamous meeting, according to Cohen’s lawyer, Lanny Davis. “Nothing has changed,” he told Axios. News reports last month said Cohen was willing to assert to special counsel Robert Mueller that Trump did know about the meeting in advance.
🍦Hard-won scoop from @jonathanvswan: Last year, when questioned under oath by lawmakers on the House intelligence committee, Cohen not only said that he himself had no foreknowledge of the Trump Tower meeting but that had no idea whether Trump did, either https://t.co/8GdYQE5KPt

Cohen’s lawyer Lanny Davis admitted as much last night on CNN as well. Here is a transcript of the conversation:

So let’s get this straight: Cohen reportedly told media outlets that Trump knew about the Trump Tower meeting beforehand, a clear implication of possible Russian collusion. Yet now his lawyer is denying the claim after it came out that he testified under oath contradicting that claim.
So either he lied under oath, or lied now.

Sounds like Cohen has a big issue with the truth if you ask me.
What’s the difference between a lawyer and a catfish? One is a scum sucking bottom dweller, and the other is a fish!
This keep with the standard belief that Lawyers are scum.
Cohen cannot even take credit for his decision and blames it on his father. Watta lawyer. Speaking about lawyers, Lanny got him to plea to crimes that do not exist. In their defense they are both lawyers.
It seems like Cohen is falling apart mentally – he also said he was told by his father not to protect the president because his father said that “he did not survive the Holocaust to have his name sullied by Trump”. In other words “I’m a poor little Jewish boy leave me alone. Trying his best to play some kind of race card. Whether or not his father said that – I don’t know – but I have a hard time imagining that a Holocaust survivor would side with the likes of the muslim Obama – the pedophile Clintons or the nazi collaborator George Soros
It should be obvious to ANYBODY with the brains of a TADPOLE that Cohen has been PRESSURED into LYING about Pres. Trump by the Mueller witch hunters, because they’ve got NOTHING–NO evidence, much less PROOF of either “Russian collusion” OR “obstruction,” so NOW they’re trying to cobble together a “campaign financing violation” so they’ll have SOMETHING to show for their BS multi-million dollar witch hunt BOONDOGGLE. Well, THAT–and they are HELLBENT on getting SOMETHING–ANYTHING, no matter HOW flimsy to use as an excuse for impeaching Pres. Trump. Even if they KNOW they don’t have the votes to get a conviction and actually remove him from office, the lousy, VINDICTIVE Commucrats want it on the record that he was impeached out of PURE SPITE because he beat the corrupt, lying old crone HILLARY in the election that she was NOT supposed to lose, because the Commucrats had it RIGGED seven ways from Sunday in her FAVOR. If they can’t force him out of office, the CONNIVING COMMUCRATS will settle for STAINING his Presidential record with an IMPEACHMENT out of SPITE.
Commucrat SPITE is also the reason Manafort was ever brought to trial. Mueller only indicted him in the FIRST place in hopes of holding prison time over his head to get him to “roll over” and give them something they could use to “get” Pres. Trump. And when he would not do that, they tried him in court out of PURE SPITE, with a jury LOADED with Democrat SHEEP in the bargain. It was a RAILROAD JOB from the get-go. They’re doing the SAME THING to Cohen. Yes, Cohen is a SLIMY WEASEL–but you can BET he is being COERCED into doing what he is doing now!
Cohen has no integrity and cannot be trusted as a person, and as a lawyer. He lies to save himself. Despicable man, He doomed with his career and his life.
I think he has $200,000,000.00 of unreported income, that he is not being charged with tax evasion. A little perk to get the testimony they want.
An awful lot of treason needs an awful big hole.
