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.>
