Stormy Daniels' lawyer: Cohen was paid $500K by Putin-tied company after election
The Hill ^ | 5/8/2018 | JACQUELINE THOMSEN

Posted on 05/08/2018 3:59:04 PM PDT by bitt

Stormy Daniels’s attorney Michael Avenatti said Tuesday that President Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen received $500,000 in the months after the 2016 election from a company run by a Russian oligarch with ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Avenatti said that the funding may have been used to reimburse the $130,000 payment Cohen made to Daniels to stay quiet about her alleged affair with Trump.

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani revealed last week that Trump had reimbursed Cohen $130,000, which was given to Daniels just weeks before the 2016 election. Cohen had earlier claimed that the non-disclosure payment came from his own funds, and Trump had told he was unaware it had been been made.

Giuliani, who recently joined Trump’s personal legal team, has said that Trump only recently learned of the payment to Daniels, and he has not ruled out the possibility that Cohen made payments to other women on Trump's behalf.

All interesting, but how does an attorney for a porn star, interested in primarily getting her out of an NDA, get this level of detail about the financial records of an attorney (with attorney/client privilege), in a matter of only a few weeks???

Mueller....

....Mueller?

The liberal Democrat judge allowed the FBI to set up a special unit of DNC agents to spend weeks copying the files and combing through them for anything of political value, before finally appointing a Special Master.

Both are stupid. It’s not like Trump can’t afford $130K.

“Avenatti said that the funding may have been used to reimburse the $130,000 payment Cohen made to Daniels to stay quiet about her alleged affair with Trump.”

Or it could have been used to pay Cohen’s plumber to extract the contents of his septic tank. Which would be anal-ogous to paying the slanderous Whore-Me Daniels and her shyster lawyer to agree NOT to attempt to extort an even larger sum from Donald Trump.

From Avanetti’s tweet: ”After significant investigation, we have discovered that Mr. Trump’s atty Mr. Cohen received approximately $500,000 in the mos. after the election from a company controlled by a Russian Oligarc with close ties to Mr. Putin.”

What the #!@& is this idiot doing “investigating” Cohen and Russians? What does that have to do with his porn star client?

Apparently, if you’re part of the deep state cabal, you have free reign to do whatever you feel is necessary to try to bring down Trump, no matter what your actual proper place is. It’s like Trump is surrounded by a dozen yipping Chihuahuas, all trying to get an ankle bite in, and falsely believing themselves to be big dogs.

Isn’t this the same Rooskie that gave millions to the Clintoon Foundation (like 25 million or so).

For some reason, he never mentions it when he is
on TV or radio shows.
It is the #2 Conservative Podcast.
It is not a live show but a Podcast.
Which means u can listen at your convenience.
Enjoy.

Trump could not have been successful in NYC real estate without friends in low places.

That would be New York City Hall.

That’s on the house. He is getting big bucks from somewhere, probably the DNC or other big Dem supporter.

Either there is a breach of Cohen’s confiscated records or someone at the bank made some copies.
