CROOKED DONALD TRUMP OFFERED COHEN A PARDON NOT TO TALK TO INVESTIGATORS

[dherd]

JUST MY SPECULATION, BUT IN THE HEARING THE OTHER DAY COHEN SAID HE HAD LAST TALKED TO TRUMP A WHILE BACK , BUT HE COULD NOT TALK ABOUT THAT CONVERSATION BECAUSE THE SUBSTANCE OF THE CONVERSATION IS UNDER INVESTIGATION.

TO ME THAT IS OBVIOUSLY ALL BUT SAYING TRUMP OFFERED HIM A PARDON.

I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW ALL THE "SMART" TALKING HEADS ON TV HAVE NOT PICKED UP ON THIS.

BUT OF COURSE I AM BRILLIANT AND THEY ARE NOT.

STAY TUNED AND REMEMBER YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST. IF YOU DONT - I WILL BE HAPPY TO REMIND YOU.

WELL, WELL WERE DID WE HEAR THIS LAST WEEK - SOMETIMES MY BRILLIANCE AMAZES EVEN ME

NYTIMES - Cohen has privately claimed that a pardon was dangled to him by Trump’s representatives, people familiar with the matter say — though he has been unspecific about the timing or substance of the talks.

Although Trump has authority under the Constitution to pardon Cohen, doing so could be politically damaging. Lawmakers also are interested in exploring whether Cohen was offered a bargain tying his cooperation with law enforcement to a pardon — which could be illegal.

In public testimony last week before the House Oversight and Reform Committee, Cohen asserted that federal prosecutors in Manhattan asked him not to discuss a conversation he had with the president or one of his agents after the FBIraided his home. It was not immediately clear, though, whether prosecutors’ interest in the conversation is related to pardons. A spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office has declined to comment on Cohen’s testimony.

“I do not believe that exercising the constitutional right alone can constitute obstruction,” said Jacob Frenkel, a former federal prosecutor now in private practice at Dickinson Wright. “On the other hand, if the president were to bargain a pardon in exchange for any act that would obstruct the investigation, that would implicate the bribery and gratuities statute.”

OH LOOKIE HERE WHAT DO YOU KNOW
I AM A GENIUS

Michael Cohen has claimed to the House Intelligence Committee that he discussed the subject of a pardon with President Trump’s attorney Jay Sekulow, bringing another of Trump’s representatives into an ongoing dispute over precisely who opened discussions about the matter.

Under penalty of perjury, Cohen alleged to lawmakers that he discussed pardons with Sekulow in addition to Rudolph W. Giuliani, another of Trump’s lawyers, according to four people familiar with Cohen’s testimony who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss his interview. Cohen appeared before the committee for about eight hours Wednesday, concluding a closed-door interview that began last week

So last week he said he didn’t discuss a pardon and now he says he did?

Hey dipshit. Cohen flat out told Congress he never sought a pardon nor would he accept one. Now it has come out that he directed his attorney to seek one. Once again Cohen lies

WASHINGTON—Michael Cohen, a former lawyer for President Trump, directed his attorney last spring to inquire about the possibility of a presidential pardon, weeks after federal agents raided his properties, Mr. Cohen’s lawyer said Wednesday, apparently contradicting his testimony before a House committee last week.

STILL READING WHAT YOU WANT TO BELIEVE - BE OBJECTIVE
COHEN IS UNDER OATH TRUMP GUARANTEED HE WOULD GO UNDER OATH - 3 YEARS LATER STILL HASNT
GIULIANI IS CONTRADICTING OTHER TRUMP LAWYERS AGAIN COHEN IS UNDER OATH THE OTHERS ARE NOT
TRUMP IS LIKE A WORM ON A HOOK TRYING TO WRIGGLE OFF - HE IS NOT GOING TO TALK, LIE, CHEAT, OR STEAL HIS WAY OUT THIS TIME.

Mr. Giuliani’s account of his stance contrasts with the initial approach taken by the first head of Mr. Trump’s legal team, John M. Dowd, who had discussions with lawyers for Paul Manafort and Michael T. Flynn in 2017 about pardons.

And Mr. Giuliani’s statement comes as the White House is seeking to undermine Mr. Cohen’s credibility on a wide range of issues after his scathingly critical testimony about Mr. Trump on Capitol Hill last week.

Mr. Giuliani said he could not confirm that such a conversation took place with lawyers for Mr. Cohen, citing attorney-client privilege.

What took place around the discussion of pardons became more complicated late Wednesday after The Wall Street Journal reported that Mr. Cohen’s current lawyer, Lanny J. Davis, said that Mr. Cohen had directed Stephen M. Ryan, his lawyer in 2018, to ask Mr. Trump’s personal lawyers about a pardon.

Fact: Cohen lied about asking for a pardon last week UNDER OATH. Its not my fault you’re hanging you’re hat on a convicted liar.
