Breaking: Michael Cohen directed an attorney to ask about a presidential pardon, his current lawyer says, contradicting Cohen's testimony under oath

The Wall Street Journal previously reported that Stephen Ryan, Mr. Cohen’s attorney at the time, discussed the possibility of a pardon with lawyers for Mr. Trump in the weeks after the Federal Bureau of Investigation in April raided Mr.

Cohen’s home, office and hotel room. The president’s...

JVER1 But know that he’s a democRATe! There will be no investigation!!! democRATeS don’t get prosecuted or investigated 🤔🤷‍♀️🙀

DineshDSouza A lier to the core

Not surprised.

Michael Cohen looks about the happiest that I've seen him in months! This IS what happens when you FINALLY do the right thing! I'm hoping NOW that he doesn't go to prison, as he seems to be cooperating fully with EVERYONE!😊

Every article in the WSJ is behind a pay wall, so I ignore on Twitter.

More time in jail plz

DineshDSouza No pardon

The guy is just a perpetual liar now in survival mode!!!Looks and sounds like an “Ambulance Chaser.” He was always a clueless fall guy mushroom!!!

DineshDSouza AHA MOMENT..

This doesn’t hold up. He could have talked about it with his attorney. Fact is Cohen made allegations with hard evidence to back it up. These are the focus

lol, and so it begins to unravel.

What a slim ball...do your time

Why would President Trump pardon you?

DineshDSouza Makes you wonder.

DineshDSouza And just like that, the man was thrown under the bus .

DineshDSouza Little known fact: Lying to Congress is only sometimes a crime.

Nice spin.....lol

Surprise!

DineshDSouza I'm sure the Prez will get right on that....

The guy is and always has been about saving own skin. Will lie about lying if needed.

You mean a convicted liar lied? Shocking!

Cohen's crimes are unconnected to realDonaldTrump, NYC taxi medallion scam, etc.; I doubt these would've been discovered if it weren't for the fact that Dems and MSM want to destroy all things Trump at any cost. Which of us can undergo such scrutiny and come out unblemished?

This lawyAH is a liAH

All matzah boys lie to keep from going to jail

Cohen also allegedly professed how HE would build a wall. “I will build a wall, a wall so big, wide and tall that nobody will ever get over it, under it, or around it. It will be a wall of lies, many lies. I will lie much more than any liar ever. I’ll then be a Democrat”. Ugh. 😖

DineshDSouza After all this lier has said and done he shouldn't have the benefit of such a generous acknowledgement from the President.

DineshDSouza No friggen way!

Lies all the time. How sad

Cohen truth or lie. My moneys on lie

It's not about Cohen telling lies anymore democrats have a new hero as long as he's trashing Trump.

DineshDSouza ARE YOU SERIOUS

Are we sure he directed or suggested? This would have been around the time of D’Souza’s pardon right? Headlines all over were reporting Cohen could be next to get pardoned May/June 2018.

Go to jail.

Jeffrey52095461 Keep pandering to the Dems and this is what happens. Hello Lanny .... Lanny ... Sorry Mr Cohen but Mr. Davis is not available. He says to give him a call when you get out of jail ...

bobbyb2050 Put this guys ass in jail- I am sick of him!

Gee does that mean that Cohen has lied again. Yet this is the guy the dems want us to believe is now telling the truth. I’m confused

DineshDSouza

DineshDSouza This guy Cohen spews more crap than a sewer pipe. No wonder the Demrats embrace him.

Cohen said in his sworn public testimony that he never sought a pardon. Now he has been caught lying under oath to Congress again! 😂 And this was the Democrats star witness.

This is just one of many contradictions him & Schiff are both making it up as they go.

DineshDSouza What? He is testifying against the president and now he is looking for his pardon? What a Shameless character he is.

A convicted liar lied? Shocking! 🙄

cohen is heading for more trouble. bet his wife abandons him

Let the smear campaign begin. US politics has really shown humans at their very lowest.

So funny. An attorney who broke attorney client privilege is now the 'victim' of a breach of attorney client privilege. What goes around...

DineshDSouza Uh oh... you mean the rat is an actual rat. Who would have known...

AnnNyberg Nice pic taking his Gucci luggage to jail for LYING

AnnNyberg More hopeful retweeting form TV8 Ct anchor Ann Nyberg aka Trump hater

DineshDSouza He is a convicted liar, did anyone expect different 🤯

Good luck with that...

DineshDSouza Nice piece. This is why I read WSJ. Its neither left nor right. They get it. Readers buy newpaper to get the news, not to pay to get brainwashed by leftist or right wing media.

katie_honan Wrong!!

Good luck with that!

Not now he went against his client Bad idea

Crime-fraud exception to ACP triggered when Cohen made that statement to House Committee?

DineshDSouza Putz.🤨

Ok so the did the Wall Street journal do the same report on Salvatore 'Sammy the Bull' Gravano? You know he had so many reasons be a non-credible wittiness. This is the what happens in organized crime. We just have the Michael Jackson defense of trump here.

DineshDSouza Once a liar ...

DineshDSouza He must be joking. I guess he could not wait until the April 1st.

DineshDSouza Testify against Trump in Congress hearing then ask for pardon for his crimes! Man must be a crackpot or delusional

Guy paid Trump’s strippers off with his own money and worked as a part of Trump’s legal hit squad for 10 years. I would have expected a pardon too.

DineshDSouza He is a liar!

DineshDSouza MichaelCohen212 I hope u go to jail n becomes someone's boy! U a traitor as lawyer an should never practice law again!!

He 🤥 again, oops

DineshDSouza Are you kidding me? You can’t make this stuff up! Unbelievable! What a worm

DineshDSouza No pardon for you Cohen. That ship has long sailed. Lol

He testified he did t ask for the pardon, not that he didn’t ask someone else to inquire ... answered it like a lawyer

Play the tape

DineshDSouza The man who lies but isn’t a liar strikes again.

rebeccaballhaus , BULLSHIT STORY !!!! Just the way it's written even a 5th grader can tell it's bullshit. Hope Lanny and Michael sue the crap out of you!!! SummaCumLiar WSJ = FAUX Trumpland !!!!

DineshDSouza Literally everything he says contradicts his testimony. Liar liar...

Cohen said he did talk to Trump’s lawyer about a pardon but he didn’t seek it/ask for it. Seems this headline is misleading at best.

DineshDSouza How many times can they throw this man under the bus? God bless him though he sure makes the Democrats look frantic and panicked. Schiffty has the right idea. Keep it behind closed doors then we can pump out the innuendo.

DineshDSouza Cohen must be bipolar, he throws Trump under the bus while lying to Congress AGAIN and he wants a pardon

DineshDSouza He’s a .........!!!!!

DineshDSouza Backwards K!

DineshDSouza So Cohens lawyer is saying this. And it shows that Cohen lied again

DineshDSouza Laney Davis is throwing him under the bus because he was a flop.

Just shows hebis a liar.

DineshDSouza Hahaha joke! After you flapped your gums and lied—you want what? The president to pardon you? Why don’t you ask HRC to help your out?

Fantastic! Now Cohen can be charged with another perjury! Thanks Lenny!

DineshDSouza What b*lls.

DineshDSouza Cohen is a little worm turd and can do his time. He taped a conversation with POTUS in hopes to blackmail his way into an appointment in the WH. Bet ya bucks I'm right.

We dont believe your Cohen story, its Russia like propaganda rebeccaballhaus,morals be d*mn there! You guys will do anything to peddle trash! National Inquirer has nothing on you! Just when Trump needed a detractor, the Filthy TrumpsWSJ to the rescue with the Putin Run News!

DineshDSouza

DineshDSouza Man, this guy better stop testifying. He’s going to land up getting life in prison for aggravated stupidity.

DineshDSouza Hey pard no pardon

DineshDSouza I am a trump fan, but i truly feel horrible what the special counsel has done to citizens connected to trump, solely out of political motivations. Proof positive not one of them would be where they are now if trump lost the election.

DineshDSouza LOL. How many times can the MSM lie to the public's face before left-wingers stop trusting them? Infinity times it would seem.

DineshDSouza Poor Cohn he's acting like a jilted lover. No more kisses from the Trump family. I will pray for him.

Say it ain’t so, Joe....

DineshDSouza WHAT? The wanna be tough guy that he was going to stand up to the President lied about that? He lied again? No way

DineshDSouza Don’t get it yet?

DineshDSouza Just gets weirder and weirder. Let’s release that fisa and get this bs over with no more distractions.

Reaganista jorgelawdawg ? 🤣

DineshDSouza Trump2020

👍

Is MichaelCohen212 doing this to help realDonaldTrump ? Seriously this is another TrumpTrap he loves messing with his opponents. Watch out RepJerryNadler you may have just bitten off more than you can chew.

Whoops! How many more years did that add to his sentence?

That's not how LannyDavis explained it on TheLastWord LAST NIGHT! It was done thru prior atty & BEFORE he came to his 'Back to Jesus' moment when he decided THEN to stop lying & not accept any pardons offered. He wanted Davis to say that to clear his name by accepting fate.

What happened to attorney client privilege, they asked about this the other days regarding rTump...! Double standard! Cohen can't lie anymore 'Dunces'or his time can be extended! You think he wants to do more time for rTump!

Must have been before he realized Trump was gonna throw him under the bus. Imagine—expecting loyalty to be a two-way Street.

Washington seems to be full of lawyers who don't understand attorney-client privilege 😒

Lies. Giuliani and company dangled it as part of a witness tampering effort. IndictmentsAreComing

Good idea to let him testify, LannyDavis Great lawyer advice. Way to look out for your client.

Don’t advise my children to talk to a stranger nor listen to a criminal.

Uh oh!

Wall Street journal lies. That’s all they lie in the day time and they lie in the night time .. in the afternoon too.

I don’t believe a word-I will take this with a grain of salt since it’s coming from the WSJ- WSJ is an arm of Trumpville-only the WDJ pushing this story-

Going to jail for lying for POTUS. I’d ask for a pardon too 😂

I don’t believe a word the Wall Street journal posts they are sycophants for this president and the Mercer Koch Brothers

Perjury or verbal gymnastics like Homeland Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen?

THIS ARE REAL NEWS. Under Trump the US trade deficit reached the highest in 12 years ($891.2B) after he promised the opposite. The trade deficit with China reached $419B the highest in history!!!!🤣😂🤣😂

he should learn piano or when he in jail.....

This is a non story. His lawyer already explained it how it did go on MSNBC ... nice try .... NEXT!!

RedaMor_ oops

He's just a liar.

Well this has become a full fledged shitshow. I’m not sure if Cohen knows his head from his ass at this point.

WSJ=FOXNEWs

I’m calling BS. Cohen is already going to jail. If he lies again, they’ll throw the book at him. This story is Rupert nonsense.

Lying for Trump again, looks like Rudy is feeding American Pravda with distracting stories to buy time.

looool a lie how can that be? loooool

Sure, Rudy!! 🙄

LOL that guy will say or do anything to get out of jail. figures. throw him in jail

In other words that whole Michael Cohen testimony before was in fact a shit show? Surprise surprise

hhhhh he asked a presidential pardon while he attacked the president by racism .. paradox

Pardon? How about gallows! Treason

BAHAHAHAHAHABABABAHA

Is Barney Fife leading this investigation?

Misrepresenting his statements. Another arm of state run media of Fox. Propaganda

“It depends on what the meaning of ‘is’ is....”

Wsj

I don’t believe what Murdoch says. He’s covering for his buddy.

Shocking.

Boom!

Breaking News from ! Michael Cohen's a LIAR!

So a man who lied under oath once, lied again. SHOCKER

Once a LIAR, always a LIAR!!

Pants. On. Fire. Again ...🙄😂😂

He never said he didn’t ask, he said at this point he wouldn’t accept one.

How about everybody is lying

I am astonished that he lied.

SteveKopack He didn’t say he didn’t tell his lawyer to ask.
