Expect the number of “contributors” to go into the double digits.
There’s a reason this scandal has been dubbed “Stupid Watergate”.
This is gonna get good.
So the leak to Avenatti may have come from Mueller’s team???
I love the smell of a suspect flipping in the morning
The one-year agreement with Cohen, for which the payment was made, “focused on US healthcare policy matters,” according to Novartis.
“The terms were consistent with the market. The agreement expired in February 2018,” Novartis said in its statement.
Were the payment terms consistent with what the market would pay a consultant who has no fucking idea about anything concerning US healthcare policy?
Exactly. This influence peddling business seems astonishingly lucrative.
Look you there, Ebenezer Trump, and see where the path you now tread leads! Look you, and resign!
Sweet Holy Blessed Virgin Mary of the Payola, Batman! Of all the corrupt, nefarious, treasonous things I thought Trump and Cohen were up to, it somehow never occurred to me that they were just brazenly taking straight-up, massive cash bribes, foreign and domestic.
Dumbest traitors and criminals ever.
The best part will be when we see where the money went for the “consulting”
These fuckers really thought this was like business as usual in Trump World ?
Take the payoff
Deliver the goods
Easy Peasy
Wondering how Novartis explained the amount of payments to Cohen being just under $100,000 each. Did the bank have a $20 fee per withdrawal?

The person Josh quoted last night said “I’ve been trying to think who all would have access, and it’s basically: FinCEN staff, law enforcement who request them, regulators, the bank staff who filed them originally, and possibly independent auditors who come in to make sure banks are filing BSA paperwork properly. My guess would be it’s someone at FinCEN doing it, but I wouldn’t bet a massive amount of money on it.”
Maybe Vanessa plays hardball too?
You can work your whole life, 40+ years and responsibly try to save $400,000 as a retirement nest egg. This jackass Cohen matches that in one bribe.
The one-year agreement with Cohen, for which the payment was made, “focused on US healthcare policy matters,” according to Novartis.
Were they planning to have doctors get medallions? Run the insurance industry like a shady real estate mogul? Follow the Russian model of healthcare?
C’mon, Novartis, that explanation is about as shallow as the Trump gene pool.
And Cohen’s worried about the effect this is having on his family!
No Russian collusion, just garden variety American corruption.
Not true. If they have Cohen’s financial records then they’ll see to whom corresponding disbursements were made by him. It’s unlikely he kept all that money. In the words of Rudy Ghouliani, Cohen was a “funnel” for payments to and from Trump.
The reason the Russians own Trump is because he was bought with cash.
Sounds like a great subject for over-site by our congress
Oh scratch that
