Balta1701 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 So NBC, if you're going to run a story saying "The President's lawyer was wiretapped and it collected at least one call from the President", you better damn well have your sourcing bulletproof.

The Southern District of NY (US District Court) strongly disagrees...if Mueller can't take down Trump and his cronies (or he gives them a pardon), other courts are perfectly willing to jump into line to take a shot. Even if Schneiderman is taken down (becoming like a plot line from BILLIONS), someone else will rise to take his place...probably Gail Heatherly.

caulfield12 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) Too bad Hope Hicks didn't also date Schneiderman or he'd have someone to instantaneously come to his defense and write a press release defending him...of course, no conflict/s of interest. And this is still not as fun as watching Trump (and Donald "El Cheapo" Jr.) trying to take down Blankenship in West Virginia even though Blankenship is basically casting himself as another anti-establishment version of the The Donald. EDIT: And Schneiderman quickly resigns...that was fast. Republicans would put up a concerted denial campaign/fight for a week or two at least.

Dick Allen Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Obama should have just proclaimed he wanted the opposite of everything he wanted. All his dreams would have come true. How does this move make the world a safer place? The only reaon Trump is against it is because Obama's name is attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 So the Bribes that Michael Cohen was paying to strippers and prostitutes to keep them silent about Donald Trump came from Novartis, AT&T, and some Russians, funneled through a shell company that didn't exist until right before the election. This is turning into a Money Laundering case involving the President really quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 (edited) The money from AT&T appeared to be unrelated to the investigations but came as the Trump administration announced it would seek to block an $85 billion merger between AT&T and Time Warner. “Essential Consultants was one of several firms we engaged in early 2017 to provide insights into understanding the new administration,” AT&T spokeswoman Megan Ketterer said in a statement Tuesday, after Avenatti tweeted a link to the document. “They did no legal or lobbying work for us, and the contract ended in December 2017." Cohen also accepted nearly $400,000 from pharmaceutical giant Novartis between October 2017 and January 2018, according to Avenatti. A Novartis spokesman said the company was “still trying to assess the facts” and noted that any contractual agreements were made prior to the current chief executive officer’s tenure. https://www.politico.com/story/2018/05/08/att-michael-cohen-hired-576213 Avenatti’s document might provide a road map to those clients. He claims that Cohen also received payments from the drug company Novartis Investments and Korea Aerospace Industries. Each has important business considerations with the U.S. government. Shortly after the last transaction from Novartis identified by Avenatti, in January, Trump took a meeting with executives including the incoming CEO of Novartis, Vas Narasimhan, during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. A Novartis spokesman said any agreements with Essential Consultants took place before the new CEO took over in February and have since expired. Representatives for Korea Aerospace did not respond to a request for comment. The company is in contention for a multibillion-dollar joint contract with Lockheed Martin to produce jet trainers for the U.S. Air Force. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trumps-attorney-michael-cohen-was-hired-by-us-affiliate-of-russian-company/2018/05/08/12a218c8-52f6-11e8-abd8-265bd07a9859_story.html?utm_term=.287e0b37e149 Of course, Novartis, Merck, Eli Lilly, Amgen, Celgene and the BIG PHARMA lobby were all THREATENED by Trump back in early 2017, after the inauguration. Trump pressed the bigwigs to bring down drug prices, which he described as “astronomical.” “We have to get prices down for a lot of reasons,” he said. “We have no choice, for Medicare and Medicaid...They're getting away with murder!" http://fortune.com/2017/01/31/trump-pharma-ceos-meeting-demands/ DRAINING THE SWAMP, BABY!!!

caulfield12 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 (edited) I wish I could get a pharmaceutical giant to "grant" me $1.2 million (or is retain the better description?) and then deliver them precisely nothing, but simply trade on my "network/connections." Sounds a lot like Manafort...cut from the same cloth, is Mr. Cohen. https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/09/politics/michael-cohen-trump-lobbying/index.html "I don't know who's been representing you, but you should fire them all. I'm the guy you should hire. I'm closest to the President. I'm his personal lawyer," was how one GOP strategist described Cohen's sales pitch. More recently, Mr. Cohen and his father-in-law lent more than $25 million to a Ukrainian businessman who has a checkered financial record and a history of defaulting on loans. And Mr. Cohen long held a small stake in his uncle’s catering hall, which was frequented by Russian and Italian mobsters. In addition to his legal and taxi businesses, Mr. Cohen has had a seemingly charmed touch as a real estate investor. On one day in 2014, he sold four buildings in Manhattan for $32 million, entirely in cash. That was nearly three times what he paid for them no more than three years earlier. Mr. Cohen borrowed from a half-dozen banks and credit unions to buy taxi medallions. Then he used the medallions as collateral to borrow more money to buy more medallions, former colleagues said. He quickly amassed 30 medallions, each then worth about $250,000, but racked up millions in debt. Together, the two men managed 260 cabs in the late 1990s and early 2000s, some for other owners. Drivers paid them $100 a shift. Millions of dollars in cash flowed in. Mr. Cohen at some point began carrying a licensed pistol in an ankle holster. ... In 2016, a federal judge found that Mr. Freidman had transferred more than $60 million into offshore trusts to avoid paying debts. Last April, New York City regulators barred him from continuing to manage medallions. He currently is awaiting trial in Albany on charges he failed to pay $5 million in taxes. But even as the (taxi/medallion) industry has buckled, Mr. Cohen has continued to use his medallions as collateral to borrow money. In December 2014, with his medallions worth $35 million, he took out loans totaling at least $20 million from Sterling National Bank and Melrose Credit Union, according to a banker who reviewed the transactions. (Documents related to both lenders were among the materials sought by federal prosecutors in their search warrants.) In 2016, Mr. Cohen went so far as to dabble in financial engineering. He spoke to investors about pooling distressed loans that financed taxi medallion purchases, repackaging them and selling them to investors, according to a person with direct knowledge of the discussions. He also explored buying up such loans at a bargain price in anticipation that their value would recover, the person said. The outcome of those discussions was not clear. The financial maneuvering has continued even after the federal search warrants were executed. On April 24, Mr. Cohen refinanced all 16 of his taxi company medallion loans. The transactions, with Sterling National Bank, appeared to extend the due dates on the loans by four years, according to public filings on the refinanced loans. And they added a new, unusual source of collateral: If Mr. Cohen were to default, Sterling would have the right to any money that Mr. Freidman owes Mr. Cohen. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/05/business/michael-cohen-lawyer-trump.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=first-column-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news Edited May 10, 2018 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
