According a a front page article in the May 5, 2018 New York Times, Cohen has spent most of his adult life wheeling and dealing with Russian and Ukrainian businessmen,many of whom became clients of his law firm and have nothing to do with Trump: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/05/business/michael-cohen-lawyer-trump.html
From the article:
“He has spent much of his personal and professional life with immigrants from Russia and Ukraine. His father-in-law, who helped establish him in the taxi business, was born in Ukraine, as was one of Mr. Cohen’s partners in that industry. Another partner was Russian. And Mr. Cohen used his connections in the region when scouting business opportunities for Mr. Trump in former Soviet republics.
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.”
Given his family and business ties to Russia and the Ukraine, I would be shocked if he didn’t receive large payments from many Russians.
When in Germany I had opportunity to get permission for Russian Jewish immigrants to have regular use of our chapel. I guess that makes me a stooge of Putin???
THAT needs to be on EVERY thread!! I’d have NEVER seen that info before!
