Well, this didn’t take long…
Michael Cohen’s attorney, Lanny Davis, announced on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” this morning that he’s established a “Michael Cohen Truth Fund” over on GoFundMe with a goal of raising $500,000 to help pay his client’s legal fees. But the fundraising is off to a slow start:
On Morning Joe, @LannyDavis is plugging a GoFundMe for a "Michael Cohen Truth Fund" with a $500,000 goal. Campaign was created ~7 hours ago + so far no one has contributed

LOL. Why are “Morning Joe” viewers so cheap?
Update: 4 min after announcing it, GoFundMe website says "This campaign is trending!" and that it's raised $70

What if … and we’re just spitballing here … Lanny Davis is hyping Cohen’s value to Mueller in the hope of raising legal fees for himself? Just asking questions…
