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???

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...

I presume he got them from Mueller.

"Who is Viktor Vekselberg, the Russian oligarch named in the report?"

He gave millions to the Clinton Foundation.

I'll give you 100 to 1 that Schneiderman gave him the records. There's a lot of dots here.

I think Avenatti has made a serious mistake.

So who would have Cohen's bank records?

The bank, and the FBI who raided Cohen's office.

Someone in the FBI is giving this information to Stormy's lawyer.

Interesting tweets in the article:

Hey, @MichaelAvenatti: since you haven't gone through discovery yet, how would you have access to all of these bank records?
— Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) May 8, 2018

FYI: no way to get bank info & "suspicious transaction" report intel LEGALLY. Either Avenatti is lying, got the information from someone who got it illegally, or himself obtained information ILLEGALLY. It's not everyday you see a lawyer admit to complicity in a crime on Twitter. https://t.co/Tmu4TuE3M0

Michael Avenatti blocked me. I wonder if it was documenting his complicity in criminal leaks, his history of stiffing employees, his habit of screwing over partners, the bankruptcy of his law firm, or his $5M tax lien for diverting employee $ & not paying payroll taxes? #Avenatti

REX ‏@_VachelLindsay_ Since Vekselberg & Deripaska are back in the news, thought I'd repost my thread on their significance. The liberals are hilariously linking Vekselberg to Trump, without realizing they're being played BIGLY. Why? with Viktor, all roads lead to Clinton Town https://twitter.com/_VachelLindsay_/status/994122201866514432

“...Either Avenatti is lying...”

I go with #1 - lying.

"Avenatti alleged that Essential Consultants, LLC, the shell company is “exclusively owned and controlled by Mr. Cohen” and was used to make the payment to his client Stormy Daniels."

That would seem to make the claim that Cohen committed bank fraud by obtaining a mortgage to pay Stormy less likely.

I agree. The only way tyhis information would be released is:

1) its untrue

OR

2) they cannot get to PDJT with it as evidence, and so they use it for propaganda purposes.

Mueller is ready to fold, if he is stooping this low to get to PDJT.( Who is not a target, Buahahahaha!)

I don't know that, but I do know this: the MSM isn't interested in finding out, and couldn't care less.

If the parties were reversed, the MSM would be ignoring the story of the payment entirely, and focusing all their attention at questioning how this information got into the hands of the attorney.

Good thread about Avenatti:

1. “Storm in a Double D cup” : Stormy Daniels has enraptured MSM who are giving her more coverage than a new British royal baby or even a Kardashian/West for that matter.
What Trump did as a private citizen in a consensual relationship is of no interest to me.

So we are supposed to be SHOCKED that Cohen has other clients besides Trump? And believe that anyone who gave him money subsequently did so to pay off this tramp? Someone should ask where Avenatti is getting HIS money and why.

Face it the USA has no national security! Everyone in Washington DC is a leaker. Everyone in the NSA, DON, CIA, FBI, etc is a personal agenda leaker. We need to fire them all and rebuild these institution. I recommend hiring low level officers and senior NCOs from the military. They all volunteered to sacrifice their lives to protect the constitution and country. Furthermore they don’t have political debts like generals.
