Michael Cohen’s attorney Lanny Davis initially agreed to work with the former lawyer for President Donald Trump for a simple reason: Cohen told Davis from the get-go that he wanted “to tell the truth about Donald Trump.”

And that includes sharing his “knowledge on certain subject” relevant to special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe, Davis told MSNBC Tuesday.

“Mr. Cohen has knowledge on certain subjects that should be of interest to the special counsel, and is more than happy to tell the special counsel all that he knows,” Davis said. “Not just about the obvious possibility of a conspiracy to collude and corrupt the American democracy system in the 2016 election, which the Trump Tower meeting was all about, but also knowledge about the computer crime of hacking and whether or not Mr. Trump knew ahead of time about that crime and even cheered it on.”

    In another article on TPM this morning it is stated that as many as twenty Dems could line up to run against Trump in 2020. Reading this article one has to ask will Trump be the R candidate in 2020.

    But, someone isn’t performing his primary job. It’s almost 8:00 am ET and no tweets from the former reality tv show host. What could have possibly happened in his world in the past 24 hours? The frustration and fear must be building to volcanic pressure and limits.

    Or, maybe he’s just trying to figure out how to change his Twitter handle to “Individual-1.”

    Showers of blessing we need;

    But for the showers we plead.
