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.

since polls show russians and stormys are WAY down at the bottom of voters’ concerns lists ...

Whereas curbstomping Swampers is moving higher on the concern list daily...

The Swamp has mistakenly concluded that the Deplorables are gonna roll over for whatever Mitt they pull on President Trump.

They just dig themselves deeper...they do not realize anything. they don’t understand why we love our President.... and it’s because he is trustworthy and loves his country and the people. I have never seen him show hate back at those who attack him because they hate him... I see a man who is so above them, they are not fit to be where they are..

mueller has the idea he is Trump’s superior... I hope to see him (mueller) disgraced one day soon.

The sarcastic comments and living in denial won’t mask the fact that Mueller will try to DESTROY Cohen and get him to flip even if he has to LIE on the stand.

Digging our heads in the sand doesn’t help Trump.

ENDING this mess is what needs to happen.

The key here is that thw whore tried to extort money befgore the election. She was a whore then and she is a whore now. I dont give a crap where Cohen got the money. He tried to take care of it. Nothing uillegal here— MOVE ON.ORG!! Trump denies the whore encounter and I believe him — Not her!!

I read that Perkins Coie (Hillary) is paying Avanatti and that he is a longtime Dem operative. Never found a link, but I’d love to prove it.

CNN reporting this nothing story 24/7. Nothing else in the world matters.
Iran, elections, nothing is as important as a Russian supposedly putting a half million in Cohen’s bank account. Trump is done, Cohen is done. Trump guilty. Cohen going to prison. CNN hadn’t bothered to ask the slut’s grease ball lawyer how to came across this info or what in the hell it has to do with a porn actress. Looks to me like the greaser lawyer might be getting a pernament job on CNN. He’s been on CNN or MSNBC all day.

Big deal — not.

So a US affiliate of a Russian company hired him after the election. That is not a conflict.

Trump’s attorney Michael Cohen was hired by U.S. affiliate of Russian company

Financial records like these — when part of a judicial proceeding — would need to go through a court process with arguments presented to a judge and a decision handed down to allow access. If these records are real, the release of this info is far more disturbing than one could imagine.

We are in a new, and truly frightening world...

Who told this Avanetti character about the $500K? Is the SDNY working as a tag team with Avanetti?

The only way, it seems to me that he could have come across this information is if someone leaked it to him from the Mueller raid of his offices. But that would look very bad for Mueller, and would underscore that the two are working hand-in-glove to take down Trump, and nothing else.

The company is an American company owned and operated by Americans. None of the company’s decisions involving Cohen have any involvement by the Russian oligarch.

Avenatti is lying.

More #fakenews and lies from CNN & their porn star lawyer. Viktor Vekselberg had nothing to do with Cohen - only Columbus Nova.

Multiple people on the thread wanted a reference on the material to talk about. I provided that in jpg form instead on having to look around for it. You’re welcome.
