Avenatti Accuses The Wrong Michael Cohens Of Making ‘Fraudulent’ Payments

http://dailycaller.com/2018/05/09/avenatti-michael-cohen-israel/

Strange coincidence how both FusionGPS and Michael Avenatti got the wrong Michael Cohen

The way I had read it Cohen (s) were receiving not making payments. These included Korean Aerospace, (who are chasing a lucrative defense contract), Columbus Nova (a company owned by a Russian oligarch with close ties to Putin, the pharmaceutical company Novartis (thought Trump was going to take companies like that down because of excess profiteering) and AT&T (who coincidently at the time were seeking favorable federal approval of a mega-merger with Time Warner).

This smells of the swamp-like behaviour you have frequently argued that Sheriff Trump and his deputies were riding into town to clean up. Yet your concern seems to be more that Avenatti got his information via a dubious leak (again a new found moral repugnance on your part that does not stretch to Wikileaks) and a bit of diversion that payments to other Michael Cohens were also disclosed.

Still Trump could get lucky and Mueller and Southern District New York could end up charging the wrong Michael Cohen as well I guess.

Stick around and let's see how it all plays out. Those bad Ruskies were Hillary's mates. Something's not quite right here.

Re: The Donald Trump thread

Initial reporting failed to mention any political ties. How's Stormy? I seem to recall she was your favourite topic for a while. Not so much now.

I'm surprised you're not keeping up with it. She's trying to free herself from a dodgy NDA, and as a keen supporter of freedom of speech no doubt you are backing her all the way.

So all msm simultaneously didn't mention he was a democrat but by the time I'd taken a look they had all simultaneously added it. That's what you're saying has happened here?

Who is paying Michael Avenatti?

So exactly who is paying Michael Avenatti? And is he a lawyer, an opposition researcher, a journalist or a campaign operative?

I thought that Stormy was old news.

Yeah, Stormy is old news, while Michael is new news. He's overplayed his hand a bit.

About That FBI ‘Source’

Did the bureau engage in outright spying against the 2016 Trump campaign?

https://www.wsj.com/articles/about-that-fbi-source-1525992611

Has Nunez & Gowdy now got this info? Are the wheels about to fall off?

Why did you bring up 'old news' then?

[lardy]

Re: The Donald Trump thread

Have we mentioned the leaked Mueller questions for Trump, should he ever sit and talk?

Or that Trump dictated that ridiculous "healthiest president ever" letter to his doctor?

Avenatti being investigated for leaking treasury documents is new news. He's also been reported to the Bar Association. Like I say he has overplayed his hand. It will be interesting to know who is financing him and paying Stormy.

I asked why you brought up Stormy if you consider it old news.

She is the instrument being used by Avenatti, which is looking more like a FusionGPS smear operation, hence the question who is financing it.

Any guesses who the CIA/FBI HUMINT embedded in the Trump campaign was?

We know who paid Stormy and thanks to that super lawyer Rudi we know how he was reimbursed. Why this sudden interest in who pays lawyers? Do you have the same level of interest in who pays Victoria Toesing's fees for the Uranium One informant charade for instance?

Avenatti has done a major service for you and the anti-swamp ilk by exposing dubious financial transactions flowing directly to Trump's lawyer yet you seem hell bent on shooting the messenger!
