WaPo reports that Cohen was questioned by the House Intelligence Committee about whether Trump discussed a pardon with Cohen. Is this the possible game changer to which Lanny Davis referred on the Rachel Maddow show?
From WaPo:
Lawmakers are investigating whether President Trumps former personal lawyer Michael Cohen was involved in any discussions about possible pardons which they view as a potentially ripe area of inquiry into whether anyone sought to obstruct justice, people familiar with the matter said. . . .
