Lanny Davis is now representing Michael Cohen, former attorney for Trump, who is a financial conduit for Perkins Coie, that paid for the attorney Michael Avenatti. who representing Stormy Daniels and suing Cohen because she alleges that he colluded with her former attorney Keith Davidson to make sure she did not break her Non Disclosure Agreement, or something like that.
So, why would Michael Cohen reach out to Al Sharpton, a media representative of MSNBC, for a very public meeting, that they actually both tweeted, without legal counsel?
Where was Lanny?
I would hope Cohen does not believe good old Al is going to do anything to jeopardize that lucrative contract he has over there at MSNBC.
I most certainly hope Cohen was not shopping around for the services of the National Action Network for the purposes of launching a civil rights propaganda campaign for hire.
What I think is that Mueller found other stuff when Cohen was raided.
I think Cohen was caught with some other surreptitious stuff that is "civil rights" related, but only realized, post hoc. that he did not use his law license very wisely, where Lanny had Cohen reach out, thinking that Al would provide his assistance in plotting and scheming to preserve his Attorney Client Privileges.
Well, at least that is what I see out of this, but, hey, what do I know.
MICHAEL COHEN’S MEETING WITH AL SHARPTON WAS INTENDED TO SEND ‘SIGNAL’ TO POTUS
Former Trump attorney Michael Cohen’s meeting on Friday with Al Sharpton was intended to send a signal to the president, the civil rights activist says.
“Out of all the people he could reach out to, reaching out to me is sending a signal to Mr. Trump and I think, probably, to prosecutors that he was not one who would not deal with someone who has been fighting Donald Trump for decades on social justice issues,” Sharpton said in an interview on MSNBC on Friday.
Sharpton and Cohen met at a restaurant for over an hour on Friday morning, shortly before news broke that months before the 2016 election, Cohen secretly recorded a two-minute conversation with Trump regarding Karen McDougal, a Playboy playmate who allegedly had an affair with Trump in 2006.
The Washington Post reported that Cohen suggested purchasing the rights to McDougal’s story from AMI, the parent company of the National Enquirer. AMI paid McDougal $150,000 in August 2016 for her story.
According to The Post, Trump is mostly silent in the recording. At one point he asked Cohen how the payment would be made.
“I received a text from him saying he wanted to meet,” Sharpton said on Saturday. “We met at a public restaurant and we spoke for over an hour. He was very troubled and felt in many ways cast wrongly.”
“And I feel he was saying that he had been abandoned by Mr. Trump,” Sharpton continued, adding: “He was adamant that he was opposed to things that Mr. Trump was doing.”
Sharpton tweeted about his meeting with Cohen shortly after it ended.
“Just spent an hour w/ Michael Cohen, Trump’s former attorney,” Sharpton wrote. “I bet you’re wondering what we could be talking about! Stay tuned.”
Cohen confirmed the meeting, writing that “I have known Rev for almost 20 years. No one better to talk to!”
Trump blasted his former attorney in an early-morning tweet on Saturday.
“Inconceivable that the government would break into a lawyer’s office (early in the morning) – almost unheard of. Even more inconceivable that a lawyer would tape a client – totally unheard of & perhaps illegal,” he wrote.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan is reportedly investigating Cohen over his business dealings and possible campaign finance violations. Cohen’s payments to women are reportedly a part of the investigation. Just before the 2016 election, Cohen paid $130,000 to Stormy Daniels, an adult film star who also allegedly had an affair with Trump in 2006.
The FBI raided Cohen’s home, office and hotel room on April 9.
