Cohen’s Hush Money Account Got Funds From Korean Military Firm

"Korea Aerospace Industries Ltd., which is seeking to sell its planes in the U.S., hired Cohen’s entity for advice on local accounting standards, a spokesman for the South Korean company said Wednesday. Clifford’s attorney, Michael Avenatti, has identified Korea Aerospace along with AT&T Inc. and Novartis AG as companies that transferred money into an account at First Republic Bank that Cohen opened in October 2016. The actress is known professionally as Stormy Daniels."

Priceless = Watching all of the companies that sent money to the LLC slush fund come up with different alleged reasons for hiring Mr. Cohen – “accounting advice,” “real estate consulting,” “insight,” etc. Who knew Mr. Cohen was such a brilliant renaissance man? #nonsense #basta

Never said I approved of the “spin” - we could all do without that crap!

Didn't mean it like that. I think it's great they're getting released, just Trump being Trump.

The news re Vekselberg/Novartis/Cohen/Stormy might be too complex for some to assimilate, so here’s the user-friendly bumper-sticker version: Consigliere Michael Cohen was the bag man for Fortune 500 and Kremlin bribes designed to move Trump’s policies their way.


Still shorter capsule, for people with smaller bumpers: Cohen was the bag man for domestic companies and Kremlin oligarchs to bribe Trump.

WOW!! 2 Huge Stories just broke: - #1 AT&T allegedly paid Cohen $600k, not $200k - #2 Novartis paid $1 million, not $400k to Cohen I am speechless!

The other stuff not really important, this is:

"Avenatti’s dossier also alleged that, after Trump’s inauguration, Cohen’s company Essential Consultants had received payments from several others with business considerations before the federal government, including telecommunications giant AT&T, aircraft manufacturer Korea Aerospace Industries and pharmaceutical company Novartis. All three companies subsequently confirmed the payments."

And all 3 stocks took a hit.

and what I posted earlier:

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/do...uggest-cohen-was-selling-access-trump-n872731

Avenatti is loving it:


WOW. Evidently, the personal attorney to Mr. Trump (NOT a lobbying firm) was actively soliciting clients and trying to sell access to the highest office in the land. Maybe this is why the SDNY case is with the Public Corruption division of the U.S. Attys Office. #basta

He got people believing he was going to drain the swamp (con man) when he's been taking their money, and then hooking them up. Most corrupt administration in my lifetime.

--------------
.@Novartis has put out an updated statement on Michael Cohen acknowledging the contract was for $100,000 EVERY MONTH for a year. So $1.2m!?!?!

Novartis source tells @statnews Cohen came to them promising "access to not just Trump, but also the circle around him … we were hiring him as a lobbyist.”

.@kwelkernbc : Does the president think it's appropriate his personal attorney was selling access to him, given his promise to drain the swamp?

Sanders: "I would refer you to outside counsel for anything that has anything to do with Michael Cohen or others."

And unbelievable fail that he put everything through ONE shell company. Seriously? Would have been much harder to find if he’d set up a more complex structure. Arrogance, ignorance or laziness?

Trivia: Cohen went to what’s arguably the worst law school in the country. They accept around 85% of those who apply. Suggesting he never was the sharpest tool in the shed.

Yeah, only the best people Trump said, I bet he would trade his lawyer for Stormy's, he's feasting right now. Cohen just never seemed like too good of a lawyer to me. More stuff still coming out.

Trump incorrectly claims military pay hasn't gone up for 10 years

President Trump on Wednesday inaccurately claimed numerous times that military personnel had not received a pay raise in 10 years, though the Pentagon has enacted raises every year for the past decade.

He’s the ideal lawyer - sharp, aggressive, hyper-confident, and bit of an a-hole (which works from a “rattle the opposition” standpoint.) And he sure knows how to work the media.

My theory, he' doesn't lie any more than the media and less than the average liberal activist.

He's says stupid crap like "Kim Jung Un treated these prisoners great", because he' negotiating. It means nothing, just a compliment.

In other words, He's full of shit just like 98% of the people that report / write about him. The only thing you can rely on is what he's actually doing.

His lying is well documented. Last time enlytend posted a link about, it set you off. Right now, you're just trying to excuse his incessant lying.

And then you don't know the difference between opinion and lying.

How somebody has been treated, is an opinion.

Trump saying military pay hasn't gone up in 10 years, isn't an opinion. It either has or hasn't. So he lies.

I didn't saying he doesn't lie. I said pay attention to what he does.. and I'll add, promises.

Pretty sure those prisoners were not treated well by Kim.

Ahhh.... tell us where the bad man hurt you.

Why bother saying anything if you can't back up your post.

Better than the last one, he died. I don't think so either but I watched them come off the plane last night. One said he had hard labor but when he got sick, he was treated well.

And not sure what that has to do about Trump lying about military pay.

Unnecessarily confrontational and I don't want to spend the next 12 hours responding to you.

On April 9, the FBI raided Mr. Cohen’s home, office and hotel room. Within 48 hours, Mr. Cohen sent the below email to Mr. Davidson. Why? They had no ongoing legal matter at the time. Was it part of an attempt by Mr. Cohen to obstruct justice or worse? #basta
