This guy Costello is VERY VERY CREDIBLE..saw him last night with Hannity, talked about how Cohen wanted to kill himself and did not want to spend one second in jail so Costello told him if he had anything on Trump it would benefit him and Cohen said the ONLY thing he knew about was money missing from the Trump Organization which Trump did NOT know about..what I dont understand is this, there were numerous women in 2016 who came out of the woodwork accusing Trump of sleeping with them, how come Cohen only paid this chick, if he wanted to help Trump, or protect him, how come he didnt pay them all..why was Stormy so special while the others were not
I listened to the John Solomon show yesterday and heard this guy.
Not only very credible, it reinforced all I have ever known or heard about Cohen.
Total, absolute, self-centered sleazeball who would sell his children into slavery for a corn muffin.
IIRC, this wasn't Cohen's bag and he was working with another attorney who drew up the non disclosure agreement. Sounds like Trump wasn't involved at all...at least as to how any funding was made and Cohen got paid....but not from campaign funds.
I posted in a prior thread that maybe the name Mike Nifong might be familiar to Bragg. If not, he needs to research the matter.
“talked about how Cohen wanted to kill himself “
Weenie. Why didn’t he just DO IT already? Talk is cheap.
The ‘others’ were basically nobodies.
Stormy was a half a somebody...........
I think I remember something from back then about a picture or something that showed them together in public at that time frame...a dinner or something.
So, guilt by association, capped off by an extortion by Daniels is one way to read it.
The other is that something actually happened.
It sounds now like it was Cohen who thought it would be damaging, and that Cohen paid.
But the amount is paltry for both her and her lawyers, 130K???
That suggests to me that even she didn’t really believe it.
