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

If some Russian paid the money for the contract with Stormy, then possibly the real purpose of the contract was to cover up a tryst by some Russian with Stormy. That sure is what "follow the money" says.

For all anybody in the public knows, the real person referred to by the alias in the contract between Stormy and Cohen is some Russian guy who went for a round or two with Stormy. Who knows, maybe Trump introduced her to some Russian guy he knew.

Of course we are all still waiting to hear who in the Clinton household arranged for all the help they got from Russian agents in preparing the Steele dossier. And who is paying Stormy's lawyer.

This guy is just inventing stuff in the hopes of broadening his scope of discovery.

just trying to grab the headlines back from the New York AG...

Bingo. The entire criminal organization known as the democrat party behaves like an organism with its own built-in immune/defense mechanisms.

This lawyer and media coverage are jokes.

He provided zero evidence whatsoever.

Media reports he presented nothing to base this claim on, yet cover it as if it’s established fact.

That he would know such a thing is ridiculous. Cohen's records are under seal right now. IIRC, the judge told Avenatti to go home and take Stormy with you.

When is Stormy going to figure out that Avenatti is using her.

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

But since Stormy is all that the Democrat media is talking about it makes sense for everyone to go to Democratic party events, town halls, campaign appearances, etc. and ask the Democratic candidates questions about Stormy, porn stars, the role of the pornography industry in America, whether porn stars should be able to deduct cosmetic surgery on their taxes, whether guidance counselors across American should counsel high school students on the job opportunities in the pornography industry, and so forth.

And then ask about Bill Clinton, and what they think about politicians who have done various things on their own time which most married people wouldn't do. And then ask them if they have ever had sex outside of their marriage. Because apparently that's relevant to Democrats now.

And then watch the candidates squirm.

I am reminded of the way that Bill Clinton would pars words, what is is and what “sex” means.

The real question is was the payment to Cohen in any way tied to the election, tied to influence peddling (Hillary’s famous use of her Foundation to shake down major countries), or did the payment simply occur at a time (after the election) by coincidence for work performed by Mr. Cohen.

People are spinning stuff in order to try to get knee jerk reactions. Let’s see the facts first. If any of the implications are true than Cohen is legally toast, otherwise this is all about nothing.

He has to go in a different direction. Schneiderman, the Trump hater, was Avenatti’s closst ally.

Excuse me but how does Stormy Daniel’s attorney have this info? Plus he’s criticizing money to Cohen from companies including AT&T as “suspicious”. The lawyer is just a DNC hitman.

Stormy and her lawyer are at the top of Daily Mail with lots of splashy photos and large type. If you want to know about the perv AG of New York Schneiderman, you have to scroll down to a little photo and little paragraph like they caught a mugger on the subway.

How the hell would Stormi Daniels’ attorney know any of this, even if it were true.

For a few years now I’ve had no use for Bair. In 8 years he never said a negative thing about Obama. Acts like he could be Miss Sheppy Smith’s brother,

This is BS. Cohen’s case was sent to NY because there was “0” Russian connection.
