And that's a criminal act on Trump's part, but you won't be able to pin it on him unless Giuliani flips. And Giuliani is too complicit in Trump's world of crime and sleze to flip.Cohen's attorney, Lanny Davis, told The Wall Street Journal late Wednesday that Cohen had asked his former attorney, Stephen Ryan, last spring to inquire about a possible pardon.
Davis added that Cohen had been open to a presidential pardon in the weeks after the FBI raided his home, hotel room and office.
“During that time period, he directed his attorney to explore possibilities of a pardon at one point with Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani as well as other lawyers advising President Trump,” Davis told the Journal, while calling the talks an “ongoing ‘dangling’ of a possible pardon.”

The Journal had previously reported that Ryan allegedly discussed the possibility of a pardon with Trump's attorneys Jay Sekulow, Rudy Giuliani and Joanna Hendon, following the FBI raid.
According to the Journal, Giuliani left open the possibility that Trump could grant Cohen a future pardon, Trump's lawyers said.
The Hill
Well, that's just more Giuliani bullshit. He knows full well who did and who didn't. He doesn't have to assume.Giuliani told The New York Times late Wednesday that multiple people facing scrutiny from the Justice Department in connection with Robert Mueller's special counsel probe have reached out to him about a possible presidential pardon.
“I always gave one answer, and they always left disappointed,” the former New York City mayor told the Times.
Giuliani declined to comment to either outlet about whose lawyers had been in contact with him, but he told the Journal, "I would assume ones representing Cohen" were among those lawyers.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
