Lanny Davis bombshell - more Trump tapes: 'Michael Cohen has corroborating evidence for everything"

“Let’s remember that Michael Cohen has corroborating evidence for everything that he has said,” Davis explained. “[Special counsel Robert Mueller] certainly does. On the issue of the purpose of the money paid to Stormy Daniels, [Donald Trump], the same man who called Michael Cohen a rat, denied on Air Force One to the American people that he knew anything about Stormy Daniels.”

“Now that [Cohen] saw Donald Trump as president, he underwent a genuine transformation because he feared for his country and his family when Donald Trump was president,” the former Cohen attorney said. “[Trump] is the top law enforcement officer of the country and who does he praise? He praises people who have lied and refused to cooperate — the opposite of what a president should do.”

Davis declined to say whether Cohen had “evidence” proving the Trump campaign conspired with Russia because he did not want to influence an ongoing investigation.

Cohen’s former attorney, however, did note that Trump was aware when Cohen “was about to lie” in testimony to Congress and did nothing to stop him.

I'm sorry to hear that this unstable idiot we call President is causing you to fight with your family. I don't know why people still doubt this late in the game. If it's fake then why are all of these guys being convicted for real?

You can't run from the tapes, no matter what Hannity says.

That's why he was allowed to make them as part of his deal. That's why Lanny Davis said "Let's remember..."

Cohen hasn't made public statements about the Trump-Russia core issues, I think. Just the campaign finance issues.

which gives us another reason for collusion but not collusion itself. I think Mueller had him admit that much to get him on the record re: Russia in exchange for his cooperation. But I suspect Mueller also told him not to talk about anything Russia just yet.

I think Cohen gave him actual collusion (Trump saying "they agreed to get me elected and I'm going to end sanctions&quot and Mueller wanted Manafort for corroboration. But he may not need him. I hope.

The circumstantial evidence is alarming but the only way to shut up my Trump loving nephew is with a recording or a tweet.

...assertion that it was "blind loyalty" has a kind of knighthood loyalty in it.

The real reason was his blind greed and ambition---he wanted to have a future President as his client. That was his motivation, period.
