AND...More High Hopes Dashed...

Lanny Davis

A week ago the staffs at MSNBC, CNN, the WaPo, the NY Times, etc were popping champagne corks over Lanny Davis' revelation that, a source has confirmed that President Donald Trump’s longtime personal lawyer, Michael Cohen was willing to tell Robert Mueller that Donald Trump knew in advance about the Trump Tower meeting, attended by his son, Donald Jr., Jared Kushner, Paul Manafort, Rob Goldstone, Russian attorney, Natalia Veselnitskaya, Rinat Akhmetshin, a Russian-American lobbyist, Russian bussinessman Irakly Kaveladze
and Anatoli Samochornov, a Russian interpreter...BUT, this is Lanny Davis...and, well, like any good "Clintonista," he pulled the rug out from all those celebrants, forcing many to recork their champagne. (https://apnews.com/1d791d3828504336b6a952912621fe56

It turns out, Lanny Davis was "the source," and he made that story up.

CNN tried to hang on by claiming "multiple sources," but that fell apart after Davis acknowledged that neither he nor anyone else witnessed Cohen saying any such thing.

Here's what they DO have out of all this, Cohen acknowledging that he paid off at least two women that Donald Trump had affairs with, at Trump’s behest.

But the affairs are NOT illegal, nor even all that politically damaging post-Bill Clinton AND given that Trump largely self financed his campaign, proving that these payoffs were "illicit campaign donations," is at best, a long shot.

If Michael Cohen negotiated payments and transferred money to the women, it was almost certainly Trump's own cash.

That AIN'T gonna get impeachment done.

ONLY proof of direct COLLUSION between Donald Trump and the Russians will do.

If anything, this looks like desperation, so far.

The Manafort trial had NOTHING to do with collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia and THIS looks even worse! It looks like a desperate switch to some potential electoral improprieties, because they can't prove collusion.

Lemme guess, Mueller's next move will be...maybe putting out as "damaging a report," as they can in October?

Hey, if all you've got is that Donald Trump has a penchant for women, much like Bill Clinton, but unlike Clinton, he actually has women throwing themselves at him...good luck with that.

I think most Americans are like me on that score, I admire a 72 y/o stud! If anything, I'm jealous.

"Look at these HUGE hands!"....Indeed!
