The bigger question about all this for me is, How did this Clinton devotee manage to wiggle himself into this Cohen thing at all? Lanny Davis is not a lawyer. He is a performer and a Clinton political hack. He's a CNN/MSNBC pundit or sort of a performer. But he is not a serious lawyer that anyone should depend on for any kind of serious legal defense. That is a ridiculous idea.
"NO! We will never accept a pardon from that idiot Trump!" for example. There is no lawyer in the world who would ever say a thing like that.
He is more of a Gloria Allred kind of lawyer, who is only in the thing for money and spends more time on TV than actually doing real legal work. But his lifelong and direct connection to Hillary is the weirdest part.
I wouldn't depend on Lanny Davis to get me out of a parking ticket, in a real sense. If I wanted a 'show trial' then I would bring this clown in.
