Trump's Second and Third year in office
Cohen opens a consulting company specifically to pay Stormy Daniels. Within a short time ,a Russian who was sanctioned for election interference, funnels a half a million dollars into that company. Coincidence?
What's interesting is that Mueller and his posse questioned people about this nine months ago, meaning who knows what or where their current investigation is pursuing.

Josh Campbell is a rather new CNN contributor. He's damn good in my opinion. I don't know if you read this piece, but he's not "upset" (your word) at NK releasing prisoners.

Are you sure you read that whole article?
He's criticizing the way the administration's reporting of the release was handled, not the actual release itself. He even says at the end of the article:
"The administration's apparent opening of North Korea is something to be lauded, and, if ultimately successful, should be praised as a major diplomatic accomplishment."
Stupid people don't appreciate the greatest tax cut by the most magnificent president ever. Personally, I think the poll is flawed as it's obvious not many billionaires were included in it.

This does not show libs are upset
quite the opposite.
here is a key sentence from your link
"The administration's apparent opening of North Korea is something to be lauded, and, if ultimately successful, should be praised as a major diplomatic accomplishment."

Well, I mean they were pretty straightforward about how little the effect would be. What's the average, like several hundred dollars a YEAR per family? Better than nothing, I guess, but certainly not life-changing. So little that most people wouldn't even notice, so of course they're going to respond that way in a poll.
P.S. Whatever happened to the "How's your 401k?" crowd?

Disappointed you call your fellow Americans stupid. Although your policy beliefs say that, I never thought you would admit it.
But hey, we can’t all be as smart as you in hiding assets to gain extra benefits.

that was supposed to wash over primaries
yesterday? More like the little blue fizzle..
Nate Silver said internal polls showed
Blankenship 'surging' in W VA. The media
was panting yesterday. Blankenship comes
in a distant 3rd and they say 'Oh. Never
mind.'
Where was all the Dem enthusiasm we
keep hearing about in OH yesterday. The
media says they HATE Trump and want
to correct the mistake the state made in
2016. Yet 145,000 more Republicans than
Dems voted in OH yesterday. Another blue
wave fizzle.
Looks like the 'big blue wave' is just another

Details on the transactions appeared in documentation that Michael Avenatti, the lawyer for Daniels, posted to Twitter on Tuesday. Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, allegedly received $130,000 in a non-disclosure agreement from Essential Consultants to stay mum on her alleged affair with Trump.
The president has denied the relationship and Daniels has sued to get out of the deal.

A lawyer for Columbus Nova confirmed payments to Cohen, but denied that Vekselberg had anything to do with them.
"Columbus Nova is a management company solely owned and controlled by Americans," the statement said. "After the inauguration, the firm hired Michael Cohen as a business consultant regarding potential sources of capital and potential investments in real estate and other ventures.
"Reports today that Viktor Vekselberg used Columbus Nova as a conduit for payments to Michael Cohen are false. The claim that Viktor Vekselberg was involved or provided any funding for Columbus Nova’s engagement of Michael Cohen is patently untrue. Neither Viktor Vekselberg nor anyone else other than Columbus Nova’s owners, were involved in the decision to hire Cohen or provided funding for his engagement."

Maybe King Harry can fix this. 🤣
Novartis- we need someone to do some consulting on health care matters.
Suit A- We have our pick of dozens of top notch firms with hundreds of lawyers with vast experience in the field.
Suit B- I got a one man firm, run by a guy who graduated from the worst law school in the country and who specializes in buying taxis and bimbo eruptions.
Novartis- He's our guy. Quick, send him $1.2 million before someone else signs him. We don't need no paperwork and certainly are not going to ask for documentation of how the $1.2 million gets spent. We'd have to be a fool not to have a NYC taxi attorney represent us in Washington DC on health related issues.
As I said earlier, Muellar's team was on to this months ago.
I wonder how many people are walking around the WH wearing wires these days?

It's almost like you don't know that Donald Trump put a number of small family businesses out of business when he refused payment after services were completed...and then drowned them in court proceedings.
Get real man. You called Trump a "prophet" in another thread, lol. If by prophet, you mean, a con-artsist, then yeah.
Now at&t and others have said yep we got caught making payments evenbob changes up
At&t said they needed consulting on how this administration was going to affect their business
Why does a phone company hire a NY attorney for washington dc matters
Lets see pay to play for president. Merger that occurred with at&t at this time hmmm
The pharmaceutical company that paid michael cohen - the CEO of the company got lunch with trump after payments were made - hmm pay to play?

I was just reading up on Columbus Nova. Something is simply not right over there. They put out a press release saying they bought a company. Then they started feeling the sanctions imposed on their parent company and the founding manager leaves, claiming he alone bought the other company. Even the Wikipedia entry reads like a mystery novel plot. Now they claim they aren't part of the parent company, in spite of numerous filings showing they are.
I'm sure it was a complete coincidence that they chose a one man shop to represent them.
Because he's damn effective. His constant media appearances have led team Trump to make several unforced errors.
Donald WISHES he could find a lawyer as savvy as Avenatti. He's stuck with Michael Cohen and Rudy "Crazy Eyes" Giuliani. lol

Quote: darkozAvenati said on one of the talk shows he doesnt announce info unless hes vetted and is sure of its veracity
No, he's said it on ALL of them. He isn't putting anything out there he can't prove. And he's inside Cohen's document seizure as an interested party. So he knows things we don't, yet.
He's analogous to Bob Mueller if Bob Mueller was talking all this time. Which, to my mind, proves that Mueller doesn't leak. His witnesses and targets do, trying to pre-empt what he knows.

After Avenatti supposedly released Cohen's financial records, it is crystal clear that neither Avenatti, nor the FBI, nor the prosecutors nor Judge Kimba Wood had the foggiest notion about how many clients really does have. But all we hear are crickets from these supposed experts and their acolytes!Quote: ams288The sworn testimony of Cohen's attorneys in court yesterday isn't enough for you?!?! Do you think they lied to the judge when they told her Cohen's third client was Hannity? Why??

I stand corrected. Avenatti was on Rachel Maddow last night and showed that .7% of the money traced was to a different Cohen. 99.3% was correctly reported, and most of it has been verified already by the corporations who paid Cohen for access to Trump.
He isn't given equal access as the federal agents, no, but he has an acknowledged standing as an interested/injured party that puts him inside discovery and process.
I should only hope to live my life being as wrong as Avenatti.

Hmmm,
Looks like Avenatti has been a bit overzealous in his data collection and vetting. Oops. Pity, as he's been doing a great job running rings around trumpy, playing him at his own game. If this is the worst of his carelessness or failure, it's nothing compared to the daily failure of his adversary. I give him a mulligan.
I like Avenatti. He's a clever, media savvy, street wise rottweiler of a lawyer. I'd want him on my team before any number of Cohens or Rudys or indeed any of the two-bit mob fixer lawyers that trumpy can retain.
I wonder whether trumpy's fixers are yet considering actual assasinations of the sort Putin or NYC mobsters would blatantly employ? Or is trumpy trying to exhaust foreign policy distractions first....
And yes. Before anyone says it, maybe the Clintons did worse.
