Discussion: Untangling The Web Of Payments Between Cohen And Elliott Broidy

Bravo! Thanks for laying this out so nicely!

Remember that Cohen, when asked to list his clients to the Court, did not mention Broidy. If Broidy was not a client, what were the payments for? Perhaps he helped out with yet another Trump affair?

It’s becoming obvious that the comedy team of Trump/Cohen had some success in the hinterland through threat, bluster and bribery, Unfortunately for them they’ve arrived at Carnegie Hall and their act isn’t up to ‘Bigley’ standards.

Looks like following the money pays off.

Broidy was one of his three acknowledged clients over the last couple years in addition to Trump and Hannity. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/cohen-seeks-to-withhold-identity-of-mystery-client/2018/04/16/be7e5fce-4182-11e8-8569-26fda6b404c7_story.html

Anyone here remember when I wondered out loud how many abortions trump has paid for? Broidy didn’t need Cohen to pay a woman off.

I can’t wait to find out how Hannity is involved in all of this!

It is becoming increasingly obvious that Broidy took the fall for Trump. Trump had the affair with Bechard. Trump is the one who is obsessed with Playboy Playmates. Trump is the one who was going to be in trouble if it came out that he had an affair which led to an abortion. Why would Broidy, who few people had ever heard of, pay out $1.6 to silence Bechard, while Daniels’ silence was purchased for a mere $130,000? Why would Broidy be Cohen’s one other client (besides Sean Hannity!)? Cohen used the exact same names as in the agreement with Stormy Daniels for God’s sake! How much longer before the media is allowed to start stating the obvious?

The principal of REAG is an old family friend of Elliott Broidy. It looks like Cohen and Broidy were using REAG to move cash around.

Still waiting for that particular shoe to drop. I read that Cohen even used the same fake names (David Dennison and Peggy Peterson) in the Broidy/Shera Bechard NDA. And Bechard even had the same attorney, Keith Davidson, as Stormy and Karen McDougal when they were goaded into signing. trump’s razor would indicate that Bechard was impregnated by trump himself.

I saw this proposed at RawStory or Salon or someplace. Kind of a conspiracy theory, but then as you point out the “real” story is kind of full of at least a few holes. There are a whole bunch of top pro Mueller lawyer/accountants working on this. I trust they will figure it out. Depending on when they got the latest stuff their job seems to be never ending. No wonder these things take so long; one thing leads to two or three others.

Also Bechard looks more like Ivanka than either Stormy or McDougal.

Donnie apparently had a taste for bareback, so pregnancy would be an ongoing hazard. I gotta figure that there’d be at least a couple of them out there.

It was New York Magazine. http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/05/theory-playboy-model-had-affair-with-trump-not-broidy.html

And it’s hardly a conspiracy theory. All it took was for Broidy to lie and be the stand-in for Trump (remember John Edwards?). Look at Broidy’s history. Anyhow this article lays out the case very nicely.

The trump Tower doorman can weigh in this.

I’m interested in learning more about the relationship between Cohen and Davidson. Isn’t it unusual for the same two lawyers to represent opposing sides of settlements of (alleged) sexual promiscuity with three women (Daniels, McDougal, and Bechard) who did not previously know each other? Was Davidson acting in the best interest of his clients? What are the laws and bar ethics rules regarding this?

Wonder of Hannity knew Donald was an idiot and had the affairs, but also knew he appealed to republican morans. So Sean told Donald he’d stay quite if Donald gave him money?
