The attorney representing President Trumps former lawyer Michael Cohen said hes been seeking guidance from President Nixons ex-counsel.
Lanny Davis told Politico on Sunday that he had reached out to John Dean, the former White House counsel who became a key witness in the Watergate scandal after pleading guilty to a single count of obstruction of justice.
I reached out to my old friend John Dean because of what he went through with Watergate, and I saw some parallels to what Michael Cohen is experiencing, Davis told the outlet.
I wanted to gain from Johns wisdom, he continued.

(4,015 posts)He is so deftly trolling Trump now that not only is Cohen likely to turn on Trump, Trump's own White House Counsel Don McGahn (aka today's John Dean), has already been providing testimony to Mueller, and for longer than Trump and his personal lawyers knew, AND they don't even know what McGann has shared with Mueller's team.
OMG Lanny is killin Trump here. My guess he has done this purely to F@&K with the Orange Shitgibbon.
