Linkedin Share

After his home was raided by the FBI, former Trump attorney Michael Cohen’s legal team asked President Trump for a pardon.

It didn’t happen.

Cohen then flipped on his ex-boss.

From New York Post:

Michael Cohen’s lawyer talked about a potential pardon with attorneys for President Trump last spring — and now the discussions are part of a sweeping investigation by House Democrats, according to a report Tuesday.

Attorneys for both sides met weeks after the FBI raided Cohen’s home, office and hotel room in April 2018 as part of its probe into campaign finance crimes, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Their conversations are now among the hoard of documents requested Monday by the House Judiciary Committee in its probe into the president and his associates. They’re demanding records from more than 80 people and businesses related to Trump.

45 says he has evidence that Cohen perjured himself before Congress.

Trump sent the following tweets:

Virtually everything failed lawyer Michael Cohen said in his sworn testimony last week is totally contradicted in his just released manuscript for a book about me. It’s a total new love letter to “Trump” and the pols must now use it rather than his lies for sentence reduction!

The brand new manuscript for a new book by failed lawyer Michael Cohen shows his testimony was a total lie! Pundits should only use it.

Congress must demand the transcript of Michael Cohen’s new book, given to publishers a short time ago. Your heads will spin when you see the lies, misrepresentations and contradictions against his Thursday testimony. Like a different person! He is totally discredited!

…and the fraudulent and dishonest statements he made on Wednesday. No way, it’s time to stop this corrupt and illegally brought Witch Hunt. Time to start looking at the other side where real crimes were committed. Republicans have been abused long enough. Must end now!

Why would Cohen seemingly come from out of nowhere to blindside the president?

Lynne Patton, who works under Ben Carson at the Department of Housing and Urban Development, knows the answer.

In short, it involved a lengthy prison sentence – but not for Cohen.

Patton wrote in a Facebook post:

What many of you may not be aware of is the fact that I can personally confirm that the ONLY reason Michael Cohen “turned on” the President of the United States is because Mueller threatened to throw his wife in jail for up to 30 years. Period. She is the co-guarantor of a $20M personal loan that Mueller discovered Michael secured back in 2015 by falsely inflating the value of his taxi medallions – effectively making her part & parcel to the federal charge of “Making False Statements to a Financial Institution,” to which Cohen ultimately plead guilty. This is also the reason why Cohen’s longtime taxi medallion partner, Evgeny “Gene” Freidman, was granted immunity.

So, Patton says Cohen flipped after his wife was threatened with three decades in the pokey.

North Carolina Congressman Mark Meadows noted that he has “nieces and nephews who are people of color.”

Of course, his words came after freshman Democrat Rep Rashida Tlaib (MI) implied that Meadows was racist for bringing a black woman to speak fondly of President Trump to Michael Cohen’s hearing.

Meadows was royally ticked off, as you might imagine.

WATCH:

The black woman to whom Tlaib is referring is Lynne Patton, a senior official at Housing and Urban Development who works under Ben Carson.
