Michael Cohen told Congress that he raised the possibility of President Trump issuing a “pre-pardon” to protect himself and other people who were in danger of being snared in the Russia probe.
Cohen, in transcripts of testimony to the House intelligence committee released Monday evening, said he was the one to raise the possibility with Jay Sekulow, a lawyer for Mr. Trump.
“I had said to him, you know, what .. well, you know, there’s always the possibility of a pre-pardon,” Cohen told the committee.
The idea was ultimately rejected, but Cohen’s admission contradicts his vehement testimony to the House Oversight Committee in public a day earlier, when he insisted he’d never asked for a pardon.

ReplyDeleteWonder if the "rat" has hooked up with his bunk buddy yet. Maybe they can whisper sweet nothings to each other.
ReplyDeleteThe squealer should have kept his mouth shut. He would have got his pardon. That crybaby lying rat deserves prison. Trump treated him really well, and then he stabs Trump in the back trying to save his own neck, for crimes unrelated to his work for Trump. Go straight to jail. Do not pass go.
