Michael Cohen

CNN is unwilling to let go of its narrative concerning Michael Cohen, Lanny Davis and the Russia investigation.
Howard Kurtz, writing for Fox, had this to say:

I never trusted that Michael Cohen was actually a "rat." I mean he could be, but I'll believe he really turned against Trump when I see it. Chris Hayes never seems to have bought in either, right? Lanny Davis is a classic piece of shit, the very worst of the garbage the dregs of the Clinton establishment vomits up from time to time. So anything he says... is never believable enough to trust.

By Jacob G. Hornberger | FFF | August 27, 2018 In the wake of the federal criminal conviction of former Trump official Paul Manafort and the guilty plea in federal court of former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, the mainstream press is singing the praises of special prosecutor (and former FBI Director) Robert Mueller and the […]

Lanny Davis – the attorney for Michael Cohen, has massively backpedaled on “confident assertions” that Cohen would share information with investigators that President Trump knew of Russian efforts to undermine Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton – a lifelong friend of Davis’.
The Washington Post reported on Sunday that Davis said in an interview that he is “no longer certain about claims he made to reporters on background and on the record in recent weeks about what Cohen knows about Trump’s awareness of the Russian efforts.”

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein made the decision to turn over the case against Michael Cohen, Trump's former attorney, to attorneys in the Southern District of New York, creating an investigation separate from the Mueller probe. [...]

Haaretz delivered a warning today to American Jewry. “If Trump falls, the testimonies of Cohen, Pecker and Weisselberg could spark an anti-Semitic Backlash.”
Many have passed through the Trump Administration’s revolving door and faded away quietly but those who may bring the president down are “the lawyer-fixer (Michael Cohen), the smut-dealing publisher (David Pecker) and the numbers whiz who knows it all (Alan Weisselberg).” Prominent Haaretz correspondent Chemi Shalev is honest enough to openly acknowledge that “the trio’s public profile is a Jewish stereotype.”

Much is being written and discussed on mainstream media with regards to the Paul Manafort verdict, and the Michael Cohen plea deal. MSNBC and CNN are crying impeachment every other second, while more measured and grounded analysts are unable to find how paying hush money to extortionists, from personal funds, affects Trump’s presidency in the slightest.
Perhaps this comment from Zerohedge sums it all up…

What Would Freud Do? by Nancy OhanianEveryone's been waiting for Señor Trumpanzee to claim ignorance of Michael Cohen. "Michael who?" "Ice cream cone?" I barely kew the guy." So, true to form, yesterday he told the brain-dead crew at Fox & Friends that Cohen "worked more or less" as a "part time" employee... a lawyer for me, one of many.
