You don't know that Van. Patience.
President Trump
- Thread starter wkmac
- Start date
Mmmm hmmmm. You think Trump didn’t know anything about all that $$? No way he’d let Cohen make all those millions without getting a cut for himself. His ego would demand it. And he’s probably not nearly as wealthy as most people think.
Trump has luxury hotels worldwide and his own jet. I doubt he's going to risk everything for a "cut."
You seem to be going on the assumption that Cohen is a straight shooter. He was a fixer for Trump who paid off numerous women to keep quiet. These corporations have nothing to gain by coming out and lying about the payments.
All that and he can’t even shut the
up and resist saying whatever he wants regarding ongoing investigations on Twitter. Even after his lawyers beg him not to.His. Ego. Demands. Everything. In. His. Orbit.

And if one doubts that all he has to do is watch the liberal media enforce that view 24/7.All that and he can’t even shut the

Doesn't change a thing. From that same article:
"Other transfers tied to Michael Cohen, the Trump lawyer, actually did occur. Several companies, including AT&T, Novartis and Columbus Nova, a firm linked to Russian oligarch Viktor Vekselberg, acknowledged paying Cohen’s company, Essential Consultants."

your question now implies guilt solely on political motive . in that sense you are at least partially getting closer to the truth.
I would welcome a special prosecuter on HRC in addition to this one and let the chips fall where they may.
Me too! The whataboutism is so stale! Take that proof and get her, fellas!

I assume nothing. I'll play the question game with you. How did these" corporations" know of these "former" payoffs? A lawyer is a fixer, that is his job. A lawyer represents a client and his interest, The clients interest. If a client could go to court and represent himself he wouldn't need a "fixer." If a client has deals or indiscretions he doesn't have time to deal with it's good to have a have an advocate. I don't know the guy, Cohen, neither do you, but what I do know is anything the media can use to tarnish Trump they will run to the endzone with. Cohen is not their agenda. You fold to easily my friend and I say that with all due respect.

And we'll see once Mueller's investigation is done.
Yep. There's never been a better time for UPS to try to
the Teamsters in a contract negotiation. And there's never been a better time to take down Hillary if there's something there. Republicans control everything. Come on, righties! Lead the march to demand justice be done regarding Hillary Clinton! Get her locked up and your Republican base will think you took them to Disney World.
Only Trump's connection to it is unraveling. Looks like they finally got something serious on a major player. But not what they were hoping for.
Why? Because it hasn't been leaked or personally announced to you?
And you have a misunderstanding of what went down. Cohen's financial records were leaked by someone, apparently in the government. They showed payments to Cohen made by various corporations. The corporations have admitted to it. Cohen was approaching them offering his services due to his close relationship to the President. They thought they would get access to Trump through him. But some of the payments attributed to Cohen were actually paid to another Michael Cohen. Whoever leaked his records got them mixed up with another Cohen who has nothing to do with this. The Treasury Department IG is trying to find out who broke the law leaking the records.
Until someone official announces actual charges against Trump I'm going to look at it all as it appears to be, wishful thinking.
