Discussion: FBI Probing Cohen Contract With South Korean Aerospace Company

The South Korean aerospace company, on the other hand, has defended its contract with Cohen, saying it didn’t know about Cohen’s relationship with Trump and went into business with him to get legal advice on U.S. accounting procedures.

Seems legit. I had my accountant handle my last divorce.

I cannot believe that this guy hasn’t been arrested yet.

I hope it is because he’s singing like a bird to the FBI.

Of course, where the money went after Cohen/Essential LLC/and his other LLCs received it is the $10,000,000 question.

And Mueller’s team is very good at following the money.

The two missing SARS reports are an interesting development. I’m dubious there is some nefarious plot afoot though, unlike Maddow and others. Their existence is a known fact, and for the administration to have had them spirited away and sucked down some memory hole would be a level of idiocy even I think Trump is incapable of. Someone has them, for some legitimate reason. Maybe it’s Mueller, maybe not. But if he demands them a refusal would kick a snowball down the hill that wiped out the entire ski lodge and everyone in it.

OT,
DJT claims the Obama FBI had a spy in his campaign.

Wow, word seems to be coming out that the Obama FBI “SPIED ON THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN WITH AN IMBEDDED INFORMANT.” Andrew McCarthy says, “There’s probably no doubt that they had at least one confidential informant in the campaign.” If so, this is bigger than Watergate

Doesn’t realize the courts have said they’re legal.

Surely Mueller could get copies of the reports without deleting them from the system? Not knowing how the SARS database works, I don’t know. But the reports we heard last night indicate that the two reports were not even in the index and that a search by name and number did not indicate they even existed. Their existence was established only because of a reference to the two reports in the SARS report that does remain in the database.

The demonstrated response to that is to attack the courts, judges and warrants that allowed such activities as illegal, suspicious, biased, unwarranted and all part of some master plan to bring down Trump.

DELEGITIMIZE EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING.

I am no expert on South Korea its corruption problems, but this sounds exactly like the kind of standard bullshit initial explanation thrown out by a chaebol every time they get caught bribing a president or high official. And they do it because in South Korea, they also own the courts and it thus often works. So much so, that they’re always shocked when it doesn’t.

It’s not a coincidence that every enterprise or government who put money into EC has extensive experience with government corruption, whether here or abroad.

The simple explanation is targets in those two reports had to be prevented from seeing them and getting tipped off their transactions with Cohen were under scrutiny. So, someone demanded they be pulled to protect the integrity of an investigative process. Maybe the one that was leaked had subjects Mueller already had dead to rights and he wasn’t concerned if that SARS became public knowledge. There’s a perfectly logical explanation I’m sure, one that doesn’t involve aliens, Jack Ruby and the Trilateral Commission.

Actually I think accomplishing that would be a level of competence that Trump is incapable of. Trying it when there was no way it could succeed is exactly what Trump’s Razor would imply.

I am not claiming to be sure of the real story here but we should always remember that this is Trump and the Trumpsters so any and everything is possible.

I’m not sure anyone of consequence or with a voice at the table would know what a damned SARS report was. If it took more than 9 words in a triple spaced bullet point paper to alert Trump to their existence you’d have no luck even getting them on his radar.

You mean he hasn’t?

I know, I’m really bad.

I WANT to agree with you, except for one thing. People familiar with the system all seem to be saying the same thing: this has never happened before and they’re not even sure how it would be done. In other words, if reports have been removed in the past for certain investigations then these people would be saying ‘oh yes we’ve seen this before’. But none of them are saying that. So I’m leaning towards nefarious on this one.

Also, other posters have pointed out how removing them would take actual COMPETENCE and that mostly rules out Team Dump.

But you can never rule out the Illuminati.

There is another possibility. Suppose the other two never made it into the system but the preparer of the third didn’t know it when he referenced the other two.

Someone with connections might make them disappear after completion but before they were entered into the system.
