Kinda looks like the wheels are coming off of this misadministration.I hope it's not too late.:2wave:



<The attorney representing President Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen said he’s been seeking guidance from President Nixon’s ex-counsel.>

<Lanny Davis told Politico on Sunday that he had reached out to John Dean,the former White House counsel who became a key witness in the Watergate scandal after pleading guilty to a single count of obstruction of justice.>

<“I reached out to my old friend John Dean because of what he went through with Watergate, and I saw some parallels to what Michael Cohen is experiencing,” Davis told the outlet.>

<“I wanted to gain from John’s wisdom,” he continued.>
<Davis, who is also a columnist for The Hill, said he doesn’t think Cohen was deeply involved or has “detailed knowledge” like Dean had as a witness to Nixon’s crimes.>


<“But I did see some similarities and wanted to learn from what John went through,” he told Politico.>

<Davis said he first became friendly with Dean when the two were commenting on former President Clinton’s impeachment proceedings.>

<He said he isn’t getting legal advice for Cohen from Dean, but rather refreshing his own memory of the Watergate controversy.>

<Dean told Politico that he frequently talks to Davis, adding that another “person I’d really like to talk to is Guy Petrillo,” Cohen’s criminal defense lawyer.>

<Dean said last month that Cohen appears to be looking to strike a deal with prosecutors who are investigating him in New York for his business dealings.>

The silence of the last two weeks from Cohen indicates he may be already talking to the government - or at least trying to lay the groundwork for it.

Dean came out of Watergate smelling like a rose in the end..... its a good example for Cohen to try and emulate if he is willing to tell all on Trump.
 
One hopes Dean is counseling him to not lie, to refuse the invitation to make up stories that will help THE HATCHET MAN accomplish the mission, a mission that has dragged on way the **** too long because obviously THE PRIDE OF THE FAILED INTELLIGENTSIA! MUELLER has come up short.

The fumbling of his case against Manafort also not inspiring confidence, a hash as so far been made.

Times are getting desperate.

Rewards Are On Offer!

Well, then, I guess Trump should have been smarter than hire Cohen has his fixer and show Cohen all his dirty laundry, then treat him like a dog in front of the whole country. I mean, Trump is so stupid. He should have tried to pay Cohen off, or offered him a pointless White House job for a ton of money or something. You don't treat people who have all the dirt on you like he did Cohen, and then expect Cohen to take the fall.

There is also the problem with the fraud for 20 million dollars in loans Cohen has to worry about https://www.scmp.com/news/world/uni...-cohen-may-be-charged-fraud-over-us20-million

Donald Trump has the worse luck. He keeps on surrounding himself with criminals
