Eell this seems to contradict Cohen's testimony of never having sought a pardon....

Gee...almost sounds like blackmail!!!!!!!!!!

And based on Cohen's and shady past, I have no doubt his lawyers were recording the meeting, and would have used it against Trump if it was beneficial to them. Imagine Clinton hack Lanny Davis having a recording of Trumps attorney promising a pardon for refusing to cooperate. Fortunately Rudy, Jay and team were smart enough to tell shut them down.

An attorney representing Michael Cohen broached the idea of a pardon for the longtime Trump associate during a conversation last year with lawyers for the president, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday. The news outlet reported that Stephen Ryan allegedly discussed the possibility of a pardon with Trump attorneys Jay Sekulow, Rudy Giuliani and Joanna Hendon. (snip)

Ryan hinted that Cohen would consider cooperating with prosecutors if he did not receive a pardon, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The Hill has reached out to Ryan for comment.

Trump's attorneys rejected the idea ..

I'm going to be captain hindsight here. Couldn't Cohen have avoided the mess he is now in by pleading the 5th (a lot)?
