Lanny Davis: ‘To Say Donald Trump Is a Liar Is a Redundancy’
EXCERPT:
DAVIS: "Well, look, to say that Donald Trump is a liar is a redundancy and it's not even funny anymore to count the number of times that not only lies but he knows that you know he is lying and he repeats the lie. So when his own attorney says that on a tape he didn’t use the word 'cash' and I go on another network and I say, 'Don’t believe me. I’m a Democrat. Listen with your own ears to Donald Trump agreeing to pay cash,' and it was his idea to use the word 'cash' to hush up and cover up so that his election wouldn’t be endangered. That’s called corrupting an election. It's not just a campaign finance violation. It is corrupting an election. And the government, the federal government, his own Justice Department, not Mr. Mueller, called that a crime in their memorandum on sentencing. So, we’ll have to have Mr. Trump with his alleged credibility versus Michael Cohen who has owned up and taken ownership to what he’s done in the past and now wants to — as Stephanie asked me quite rightfully, how can we believe him? Well, we just have to wait to see whether he meets the challenge of persuading us that he’s telling the truth."
