State investigators subpoena Cohen in Trump Foundation probe
New York Post ^ | August 22, 2018 | Max Jaeger

State investigators have subpoenaed Michael Cohen as part of their criminal probe into his old boss President Trump’s nonprofit Trump Foundation.

The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance confirmed the subpoena Wednesday — less than 24 hours after Cohen admitted in court that he paid hush money to two women at Trump’s behest “for the purposes of influencing the election.”

The court summons comes after Cohen’s attorney said his client had information that state and federal investigators might find helpful.

State Attorney General Barbara Underwood in June filed a suit against Trump and some of his family members alleging “persistently illegal conduct” for allegedly using the charity to pay off his debts, decorate one of his golf clubs and help his presidential campaign.

Selling 20% of America’s uranium to an adversary nation and receiving $145 million to the Clinton Foundation in return....meh.

Not to mention Blow Job Bill’s $500,000 payout for giving a speech in Russia as an added bonus.

It’s made up crap for Trump hater consumption.

This stuff has gone way past ridiculous. The longer it goes on the stronger Trump will become so I hope it continues through the midterms.

Is there no accountability for these political persecutions? I must admit, I am amazed and horrified by what is going on. Who are these people that we’ve elected? Are they truly this corrupt? Can the conspiracy be so widespread? Is it even possible?

Everything this great man has built, accomplished and achieved is under attack by political anarchists bent on removing him and silencing us. The lack of leadership from the Republican establishment has sickened me, and after DJT finishes out his presidency, I’m leaving those lobbyists in cheap suits in the dust. They’ll never get another vote from me.

Exactly. One day over the past year Lanny Davis walked into a secret meeting, put his arm around Cohen, and told him “you come along with us boy, and we’ll take good care of you.” NOW obviously he’s going along with them (Bill, Hillary, certain members of the establishment DNC, and their anonymous backers.)

Lanny Davis is Cohen’s lawyer so many times only referred to as Cohen’s lawyer, because they want to play down it’s Lanny Davis, because Lanny Davis means the Clinton’s in all shapes, and forms. Trying to keep us stupid.

It's not in the plea agreement, but that phrase appears multiple times in the Information (the charges to which Cohen actually pleaded guilty). The Information is the second document on this page (right below the plea agreement. The "influence the election" phrase is in paragraphs 28, 30, 35, 42 and 44.

Until that jackass of an AG we currently have is relieved of his duties, there will NEVER be a chance of a special council to investigate the CF and all her other crimes.

You are USELESS Jeff!

“Who are these people that we’ve elected? “

In this matter, it is the voters of New York State that did the electing.

Well he needs a better IT guy if he plans to grift for money out of this, Trump already pwned him:

They set up a @GoFundMe page for Michael Cohen at http://www.MichaelCohenTruth.com

But if you click on that, guess where it sends you?!

http://www.donaldjtrump.com I think he mentioned it BEFORE they had locked up the domain and the stable genius POTUS trolled him bigly.

Collusion. Collusion between the state AG’s office and the Federal Deep State-ers conspiring to illegally undermine the legally elected POTUS.

The plea bargain means that Cohen is tainted. He most likely went along with making statements about Trump in order to get less time on the tax evasion crimes. Cohen’s words are legally meaningless.

Virtually every elected person in the United States has remained quite, or even encouraging of the ongoing persecution of anything Trump.

That’s what they used the word “allegations” about describing counts 7 and 8 in the second document.

A guilty plea is not an adjudication of a court even though the feral media and Davis are acting like it is.
