Según un nuevo informe, Michael Cohen estaba pescando un indulto el año pasado después de que el FBI allanó su hogar y sus negocios.
Según se informa, el tema del indulto se planteó cuando sus abogados y los abogados de Trump trabajaban juntos para averiguar qué documentos estaban protegidos por el privilegio de abogado-cliente.
Aquí hay más:
NY POST – Michael Cohen's lawyer talked about a potential pardon with attorneys for President Trump last spring — and now the discussions are part of a sweeping investigation by House Democrats, according to a report Tuesday.Attorneys for both sides met weeks after the FBI raided Cohen's home, office and hotel room in April 2018 as part of its probe into campaign finance crimes, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The pardon conversation came up as Cohen's lawyer at the time, Stephen Ryan, and Trump's lawyers were working together to determine whether the files that were seized were protected by attorney-client privilege.But the president's legal team — including Jay Sekulow, Rudy Giuliani and Joanna Hendon — slapped down the idea, even though Giuliani left open the possibility that Trump could grant a pardon in the future."I always give the same answer, which is, 'The president is not going to consider any pardons at this time and nobody should think that he is,'" Giuliani told the Journal, declining to say whether Cohen's lawyer contacted him.He said he tells lawyers, "Whatever happens in the future, that is his [Trump's] prerogative."
Incluso si Trump estaba considerando un perdón en ese entonces, creo que el barco zarpó una vez que Cohen comenzó a lanzar a Trump debajo del autobús.
Y este último espectáculo en la audiencia de supervisión de la Cámara de Representantes prácticamente ha garantizado que Trump no lo sacará de su prisión.
Curiosamente, Cohen dijo en su testimonio que nunca le pidió perdón a Trump, ni tampoco aceptaría uno:
In testimony before Congress last week, Cohen — who pleaded guilty to a variety of crimes including campaign finance violations for paying hush money to two women to allegedly protect Trump — insisted he's never requested a pardon from his former boss."I have never asked for, nor would I accept, a pardon from President Trump," Cohen said.A spokeswoman for Cohen said that he "stands by his testimony before the House Oversight Committee."
Ok, mirando más allá de la idea de que puede haber mentido al respecto por un segundo, ¿quién en su sano juicio no aceptaría un indulto presidencial? No compro eso por un segundo. ¿Qué va a hacer él, luchar para permanecer en la cárcel después de que se emita un perdón?
Bueno, la verdad es que no tendrá que preocuparse por nada de eso ahora.
