Michael Cohen’s Attorney, Lanny Davis – A PR Hit Man Playing The Media

Trump’s former attorney, Michael Cohen, is wrestling with fear.  Facing three years in prison, his desperation can be smelled a mile away, it is an odor, a stench, and he is looking for some means of pulling Trump down in order to save his skin.   He is looking for – a deal, and could care less if he sells his soul.   It would appear ethics are no longer a part of the game despite his history as an attorney subject to the legal doctrines he swore to follow.

Who Gives A Damn…

Most recently, Buzzfeed launched a worldwide twitter over a false claim regarding Cohen, it was refuted by Mueller.   Now, Cohen has stated he is delaying congressional testimony citing ‘threats against himself and family made by Trump and Guiliani’.   While he offers no specifics, and no evidence, the claim remains in the Cloudosphere of media.  As an attorney, he fully knows the legal ramifications of making false statements – but perhaps his spokesman is manipulating the media feed frenzy under the guise of PR.  Cohen, like various marionettes of the  Democrats, is thus subject to the whims of his own attorney/PR Agent – provided to him and paid for by the Democrat Party.

Who is advising Cohen? Who is leaking false information?

It very well may be Cohen’s own lawyer, Lanny Davis.

In August 2018, Davis released a statement to CNN stating that “Michael Cohen was going to tell investigators the president knew about the infamous meeting in which Donald Trump Jr. met with a Russian lawyer. It was going to be the bombshell of the year.”

Later, after it was proven to be a false story, Davis backtracked and said he may have ‘misled’ CNN and apologized – as in uh-oh, oops…

Lanny Davis is now representing Cohen.  Davis was special counsel to President Bill Clinton from 1996 to 1998.   Davis’ bio lists him as being a ‘political operative, lobbyist and a television commentator’, as well as his role as ‘attorney’.   He was on the Democrat National Committee and oversaw Clinton’s impeachment trial.  He was a vocal supporter of Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential run and appeared on CNN and MSNBC as her spokesperson before aligning himself with Obama.  Davis has been criticized for using his position and contacts to lobby for various dictatorships across the globe in exchange for huge sums.  But he has ‘friends’.

What may be most damning about Lanny Davis is an email exchange between he and Hillary in 2010 when she was Secretary of State that was released as part and parcel of the Hillary email scandal.  In one particularly relevant email he is literally begging Hillary for a favor.   He references mean spirited shots that will likely be made against him as a consequence of the policies and positions taken by his organization “Purple Nation”. (It would appear that Purple Nation has since – shuttered).

“I fully anticipate there will be personal and professional mean spirited shots  at me in the story that is inevitable especially from those attorneys who still don’t accept that what I do is unusual as well as the hateful rightwing (and perhaps even more from the left who don’t like my Purple Nation approach and my effort to make bad countries better!!!)”

He then gives himself glowing affirmation by listing Karl Rove, President Clinton, President Bush, John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Mike McCurry as those who have already issued sweet nicey nice letters of support.   He ends the email gushing about Hillary being his best friend and the best person he has ever known in his lifetime…  He skated.

Davis is most recently co-founder of Trident DMG along with Joshua Galper.  Galper’s political influence would seem to stem from his relationships with John Kerry, Obama, and Rahm Emanuel, the very controversial mayor of Chicago.

Galper would seem to be an expert in cybersecurity and Data Privacy and in those capacities has worked with the World Economic Forum and The Aspen Institute. I wonder if he worked on Hillary’s email server…

Adam Goldberg, also a Trident co-founder, specifies that he worked on the ‘Monika Lewinsky’ issue with Clinton providing advice and strategies.

And if you aren’t smiling yet!  The fourth co-founder of Trident is Eleanor McManus.  Her claims to fame include being a former CNN journalist,  and “a proven track record of defining and driving communications and media strategies, securing media stories in print, radio, and broadcast outlets, including The Washington Post, New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Politico, The Hill, ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, CNBC, NBC News, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Wired, Tech Crunch, ReCode, and Vanity Fair.”

In other words, she tells these media outlets what to print.

In addition, her bio states:   “Eleanor was responsible for planning, booking, and producing exclusive interviews with iconic newsmakers and well-known political figures including Presidents Obama, Clinton, and Ford, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, every Presidential candidate in both 2004 and 2008, foreign leaders including Russian Presidents Mikhail Gorbachev, Vladimir Putin, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Queens Noor and Rania of Jordan.”

Trident would seem to be an instrumental hit team behind the media anti-Trump pulse with Michael Cohen’s attorney, Lanny Davis, at the helm.  Their website Press Page is a veritable hit list of antagonistic anti-Trump media pieces including:   Christine Blasey Ford is Risking It All To Speak Out, Tell The Truth About Donald Trump, Lanny Davis, The Ultimate Clinton Loyalist, Porn Actress Drama Raises Risk For Trump, Hope Hicks May Hold The Keys To Mueller’s Russia Puzzle, Trump’s Legal Team No Match For Mueller’s… etc… etc… etc…  

Everything they say is to instigate the media, it is a PR tactic that has proven effective no matter if the statement is a complete fabrication because many people never learn of the retraction and only know of the pulse – aka, the outrage over an altered video depicting the maga hat teen, Nick Sandmann, supposedly staring down a drum beating Indian whose story has been refuted and degraded as being utterly and completely – false.

And suddenly Cohen is delaying his testimony – just another PR stunt bought and paid for by the Billy and Hillary Clinton subversion tactical team… Tactics II.
