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

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.

Which is why I watch Charles Payne instead of Brett Bear. I haven’t watched Brett in two years. It’s Payne followed by Dobbs for me.

Too late. Public rightfully doesn’t trust anyone tied to Mueller. This is just more nothing.

“Stormy Daniels’ lawyer: Cohen was paid $500K by Putin-tied company after election “

So...does that mean Stormy gave Putin a BJ, too?

Fake news media is consumed with Russia and porn stars.

Americans don’t care and the Democrats’ message isn’t getting through.

Its funny what they think are national priorities and this is all they have been talking about non-stop for the past 16 months.

Like there are no other things of interest to the country.

“And in breaking news, Mueller immediately assigned another 25 lawyers to look into the allegations made by an attorney who represents porn stars.”

“...I watch Charles Payne instead of Brett Baier.”

Same with us - Brett is a NeverTrumper Bushie type GOPe. He is unwatchable.

Classic disinfo tactic that Storty Daniels super smart lawyer has obviously taken the bait on hook, line, and sinker! :) Looks like team Trump is about to expose another scum bag leaker.

I watch Fox Business mostly now. I only watch Hannity on Fox News, and just the first ten minutes just to get the summary. He acts like a spaz and I can only listen in short spurts.

Lou Dobbs and Stuart Varney rock.

Both do not lack anything in the “ego” department. But there is a subtle difference between Brett & Shep. Brett will do anything to further his career. Shep just has a severe case of TDS and will jump on anything negative for Trump.

Daniels let slip that she’s not paying Avenatti. Maybe he got the idea because it’s Russians paying HIM.

Is there anything Stormy’s lawyer doesn’t know?

No doubt Dobbs and Varney rock.
I also pass on Tucker.
I like Hannity from time to time.
