Cohen Payments

[Carnal_Flower]

Where did the $600,000 from AT&T go? Who got the money from the Russian Oligarch? For what? WTF????? Not to mention Pruitt and Zinke.

Excuse me for sounding paranoid, but didn't the goons cheering at his rallies scream bloody murder over Hillary taking payments for speeches to Wall Street? Didn't they all have their panties in a bunch over "selling" uranium for "special access" to the State Department? Isn't Clinton Cash all about Bill and HIllary taking "illegal" payments?

WHERE IS BITTER BOY screaming about the hypocrisy on the right????

Yep, the crux of the matter was where the money went--plus pinning down where/if any of these companies appear on Trump's meeting schedule (although I'm sure there's no good record of Trump's actually meeting schedule) or these companies having received unusual candy from the administration.

More than Hillary's speech income, this connects to her meeting, as Sec State, with donors to the Clinton Foundation and how Republicans have used this. How does Cohen's intake compare with hookups with the various levels of the Trump administration?

It may not be something that can be laid at the feet of Trump. It very well may stop with a scam Cohen himself was running for his own benefit. But where did the money go--did any of it serve Trump's interests?--and what, if anything, did it buy in access to the Trump administration at any level, top to bottom?

And, since at least one of these companies has ties to a Russian oligarch, this is a legitimate target of study for the Muller investigation. The large issue is most certainly a legitimate target for other legal jurisdictions.

Let's hear what Rudy Giuliani has to say.

Rudy? Where are you?

 

[KeithD]

I think this is his packout date at his old law firm.

 

[RobDownSouth]

Twas interesting reading the ATT CEO "all hands" memo this morning, we were 'strictly operating within the law"....which is corporate doublespeak for "we're sorry we got caught".

 

[Carnal_Flower]

He's in hiding from Michael Avenatti. That is the reason this all came out. Avenatti decided to unleash the hounds the same day Rudy called him an ambulance chaser who's never won a case.

Good to know. You're more up on the Clinton Corruption than I am. I knew it connected somehow.

Yes, but an aspect of this is that the Clinton "access" money went to an acclaimed charity foundation pumping aid into where it's needed all over the world (so, something at least to get out of companies managing, with government help, not to pay taxes that could go to the same causes). Where did the money Cohen get go? Neither Cohen nor Trump have an honorable history of philanthropy. Trump either pockets money he takes in for charity or lies about giving any money to charity. So sad (especially that there is anyone still supporting him). Where does the Cohen "I can give you access" money go?

 

[someoneyouknow]

You folks are missing one key point. As usual, the con artist regime, specifically Giuliani, has said the revelations of these payments are all fake. They never happened.

Yet, AT&T and Novartis have both explicitly said they made these payments and, of course, they're sorry for them. One person at AT&T was even fired because of the payments. Even the FDIC is getting involved to try and figure out how this information came to be known.

It's as if the people caught in the act and admitting to the deed never existed.

 

[KeithD]

Not missing any point. Such disclaimers by Giulani and Trump are just empty background noise. They can be ignored. They no longer are anyone's "point."

 

[Carnal_Flower]

Rudy called Avenatti a "pimp" today. Look for another info drop soon.

The weekend is upon us. Will sabbath days (pick one) be kept holy or will Tromp's tweety-pie finger go wild again? Can SNL keep up with the creepshow, and how can they top Stormy? Roseanne and Kanye, maybe?

 

[Boxlicker101]

So you're saying politicians are crooks. Next I suppose you will be telling us that water is wet and tends to flow downhill.

 

[Carnal_Flower]

That's the same attitude you take to Hillary and her many crimes. Oh wait, it's not.

We've all seen Trump accuse people of things he's guilty of. Has Rudy ever been busted for soliciting?

 

[Oblimo]

At this point I’d say there’s a rebuttable presumption that the Cohen influence peddling payments went to hush money for porn stars.

I mean, it’s the least outrageous possibility.

So all the money from AT&T, Novartis, Colombus Nova, a couple mil at least, went to hookers? Damn, I should have been there!

Ah-hem

Avenatti Tweet yesterday:

In 2017-18 - Why was Mr. Cohen paying Demeter Direct Inc. in Los Angeles large sums of money from his Essential Consultants LLC account? Keep attacking me Mr. Giuliani and @foxnews. Please. #Basta

To Hilly and pretty much all politicians.

How do you know what you say about Hilly is true? How do you know the money doesn't go to her pocket or her campaign fund. I really hope you are not going to respond with "Because she says so." I don't consider her to be more crooked than The Donald; I just don't consider her to be any less crooked.

IIRC the charity's financials are available for your inspection.

IIRC the charity's financials are available for your inspection.

But because it's freely available from independent sources, the facts will be ignored. For those who want to see, Charity Navigator is the most trusted source of such information. Their rating on the Clinton Foundation? 93.91 out of 100 for an overall rating as of August of last year. 95 out of 100 for its finances and 93 out of 100 for accountability and transparency.

https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=16680

For comparison, the American Red Cross has received an overall rating of 84.09 out of 100. A 74.5 out of 100 for its finances and 100 out of 100 for accountability and transparency.

https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=3277

Sierra Club, 91.23 overall with 87.98 and 97 for finances and accountability and transparency, respectively.

https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=5838

Since we're coming up on Memorial Day, Wounded Warrior. 88.67 overall with 84.27 for finances and 97 for accountability and transparency.

https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=12842

Here's one, the Freedom Alliance. 92.32 overall, with 91.71 and 93 for the other two categories.

Looks like the Clinton Foundation does a pretty good job when compared against other notable charities.

Where do accusers get supposed data showing the Clintons skimming from the charity? We know about Tromp skimming HIS foundation. Lock-im up!
