I’ve been wondering why Cohen folded as he did. But now I’m reading about millions of dollars being moved around. Maybe that’s part of the puzzle.

The players arrayed against PDJT can get their hands on tens of billions with a few phone calls.

America is going to get what she deserves and it wont be nice.

><

If people don’t realize that these evil people are not going to give us any mercy, they are in for a ride awakening.

People laugh at them for being fools. I don’t laugh at them....they are extremely ruthless and dangerous.

. He’d sold a unit at New York’s Trump World Tower for roughly $3.3 million in October 2017, and needed to reinvest the profits within a fixed time frame to avoid incurring immediate taxes on the sale

Looks like he was doing a 1031 to defer capital gains.

Sounds like a payoff for turning on Trump.

Wait... he needs a gofundme?

The Trump haters will pour money into any GoFundMe for a fellow Trump hater. It's like taking candy from a baby.

Lanny Davis is smiling on his way to the bank. He’s getting paid for helping the Deep State/Clintons.

Pinging Myself to mark this thread.

I read on another thread earlier that Cohens plea deal was actually set up in APRIL, I need to go find that thread.

If so, the money for this purchase could be a pay-off for the harm he seems to want to do POTUS

He folded because he lives and does business in the deep blue state of New York. Even if Trump pardoned him for federal charges, it wouldn’t save him from the NY AG’s office and doing a long stretch in state prison instead of a short stretch at ClubFed.

I view his plea as good news for Trump. All they’ve got is their novel interpretation of campaign finance law declaring NDAs are a violation.

Cohen literally had nothing to give them except soundbytes for a couple of news cycles.

The Clintons, Romney’s and McCainacs and their supporters will over fund this GoFundMe account.

“Why in hell is Lanny Davis his attorney? “

That’s a damn fine question. Inquiring minds would like to know how that came about.

Lanny is a clinton butt licker from way back.

You’re right...Davis works for the Clintons/Deep State. They manipulated Cohen into accepting him. I should have not asked the question, I suppose.

Very nice (and roomy) payoff, Michael.

“This moron probably couldn’t even get his own family members to donate $25 apiece to this fund. LOL.”

Maybe not family members, but there already are stupid leftist idiots who have donated to Michael Cohen’s legal fund. Megan Kelly said $70,000 had been donated thus far.

And then she checked the information again and corrected herself -- it was $20,000, not $70,000.

Lanny Davis probably loaned the first $20,000 to the fund.

Maybe he folded as quickly as he did because going to prison might be the best way to get out from under his debts.

The $130K payment to Stormy came from a $500K Heloc taken out on his Trump Tower condo. This makes me wonder if Trump had already paid him a huge retainer which he spent and then had to take out a Heloc to cover. I find it hard to believe Trump would say hide the payment by taking out a Heloc on your home..

No doubts but Lanny Davis is one of the smoothest crooked lawyers you will ever see. He is a Clinton insider from the word go.
