President Trump has lashed out at his former lawyer Michael Cohen. The Free Beacon reports:
President Donald Trump responded to his former personal attorney Michael Cohen’s claim that Trump knew in advance about the infamous meeting with a Russian lawyer at Trump Tower during the 2016 election.
“I did NOT know of the meeting with my son, Don jr. Sounds to me like someone is trying to make up stories in order to get himself out of an unrelated jam (Taxi cabs maybe?),” Trump tweeted. He went on to question Cohen’s choice of retaining lawyer Lanny Davis, suggesting because of the decision that Bill and Hillary Clinton might have been behind Cohen’s claim. Davis is a long-time Clinton ally and was a lawyer for Clinton during his impeachment proceedings. “He even retained Bill and Crooked Hillary’s lawyer. Gee, I wonder if they helped him make the choice,” Trump said.

Cohen claimed Trump knew in advance and approved of the June 2016 meeting in Trump Tower where his son Donald Trump Jr., son-in-law Jared Kushner and campaign manager met with a Kremlin-linked lawyer, CNN reported on Thursday night. Trump Jr. stated that he expected dirt on Hillary Clinton from the meeting but came out empty handed.
“Cohen alleges that he was present, along with several others, when Trump was informed of the Russians’ offer by Trump Jr. By Cohen’s account, Trump approved going ahead with the meeting with the Russians, according to sources,” CNN reported.
Whether this piece of information will play well for Cohen remains to be seen.
I’m sure when the Clintons are done using Cohen, he’ll likely contract some sort of “lead poisoning” like the rest of the Clinton stooges!
THese are really a bunch of slick bastards. Mueller knew that Cohen was a spinless pos and if he could get a little dirt on him Cohen would throw ANYBODY under the bus to save his own butt. If we had a FBI worth a crap they would be investigating Mueller. This guy has become one of the richest people in Washington DC with this, taking money from the Clintons, the DNC and most assuredly George Soros. On top of that the taxpayers are paying the bill for him to get richer. Look, I don’t know what the president has done in the past and frankly I don’t give a tinker’s dam. There’s nothing he could have done that wouldn’t be topped by Clinton and the DNC if there was anyone available and trustworthy to investigate. But the president has done and is doing some good things for this nation and it’s past time for them to get off his back.
Cohen is a turncoat coward. Lieing to save his ass. Lannie Davis is his lawyer, a Clinton lawyer. Come on you can’t even make this stuff up.
Why isn’t Hillary being investigated. We have more than enough proff that her investigation was rigged. The media needs to be held accountable because without them this never happens.
this cohen is a piece of stink shxx even the fire and limestone can’t bleach his butt
Looks and sounds like another set-up by the left to use another sleaze-bag to try to nail Trump before the midterms this fall. I think we can expect more of the same until then, they are still miffed about losing in 2016. And the sleaze continues along with the Russian collusion farce that has about played itself out. Trump has done more in the short span of his term in office to strengthen our economy than anyone even imagined was possible. We have businesses returning back to our shores, people who are back to work after the pitiful mess we had for 8 years, who are paying taxes as a result, and improving the GNP beyond what was normal those 8 years. We just need a little more help in Congress to get the rest of the President’s cabinet installed so he can really get serious. Can you imagine what is possible? Chuck
How is knowing that some Russian operative wanted to share “dirt” on Hillary a crime or any kind of an offense? What IS a crime is paying for a concocted dossier intended to destroy your political opposition!!! Why isn’t Clinton being indicted and tried for this? Phony FISA warrants. WHY aren’t all of those characters being indicted? Big deal – a meeting. Not even a remote comparison.

It does seem you are a lot behind the in information presently available saying that nearly all of the information in the Steele Dossier has been proven accurate through Mueller and other investigations. If as you say Clinton is guilty then why did this not come out in the Congressional investigations which said they found nothing chargeable about anything Clinton did and those investigations were done by a Republican controlled Congress.
So what? Even if it’s true it’s not a crime. The Democrats actually went to Russians (thru Fusion GPS) to try to get dirt on Trump. Nobody seems to think that was a national security violation.
Imagin the clinton Crime Family is involved, who would have thought?
When is the FBI going to raid the offices at Perkins Coie to get the details on the payment to Fusion GPS for the infamous dossier…and what else PC did under cover for Hillary? PC can’t hide behind attorney client privilege when they are committing a crime, even if it’s just a campaign crime. Get the details from his secretary in private, then lets grill that attorney in front of Congress.
Killary owned the FBI……….
I would not trust that POS Cohen, what lawyer tapes his conversations with his clients and then releases private information, obviously an attorney with no scruples, he should be disbarred.

I do think this is always done with the MOB lawyers for self protection and protection of their families, I do not think that anyone who keeps up with what is going on does not know of Trump’s ties to the Crime families going all the way back to his father, who had business dealings with the Gambino Crime syndicate, and most of Trump’s money for his businesses came from Russian Crime families through the Russian Banks.
Cohen is a traitor. It was unfortunate that Mueller busted into his home and office so now he turns tail. What a scumbag. If he would have hung tight, I’m sure Trump would have taken care of him. But now he has burned his bridges behind him. Dumb ass. You get what you get now
