Cohen getting millions for areas he had no expertise in. Question is, where'd the money go to, and how'd Trump signal the payoff? It's not like Cohen kept all this money - someone like Trump will want to share. Davidson was taking a 40% cut on his Hollywood starlet deals. Expect the payoff in this case to be startling.

And Mueller's known for months. Let's bet this money may have touched Congress as well, what with all these candidates decidng not to run for re-election.

November looks to be interesting. Without Trump and who else?

Update: Novartis claims Cohen reached out promising access. And that Mueller interviewed them. Now let's see how much of the money they gave Cohen filtered through to Trump.

Gets better:

After significant investigation, we have discovered that Mr. Trump’s atty Mr. Cohen received approximately $500,000 in the mos. after the election from a company controlled by a Russian Oligarc with close ties to Mr. Putin. These monies may have reimbursed the $130k payment.

Broidy paid over $90,000 to

Broidy paid over $90,000 to the girlfriend of a high-ranking [Office of the New York State Comptroller] official from April 2004 through October 2005. The payments were used to cover the girlfriend’s living expenses and rent. Broidy also covered the girlfriend’s hospital bills.....Broidy was the subject of a slew of national stories regarding his remarkably aggressive influence-peddling in the wake of Trump’s election. For example, the Journal reported that Broidy was slated to make tens of millions of dollars by getting the Justice Department to drop a probe into a multibillion-dollar bribery scandal

Did the girlfriend payoff before.

It's like Broidy's business plan is based on hooking up Trump and other government officials with high class hookers.

Oh, the article wasn't just

Oh, the article wasn't just repeat - he provided a much more robust explanation/theory than Avenatti did. Now, if the FBI found lots of info about this in Cohen's storage, life is about to get very interesting. He seemed rather upset they'd confiscated his 8 iPods. Which considering they're in storage kind of implies he wasn't really using them - but they can do pretty much everything iPhones can except 3G. Hope he didn't leave any embarrassing messages on them...

And Davidson is the real pro/experienced on in this - Cohen I imagine was just riding along, as it didn't have much to do with his Medallion and money laundering business. But starlets? That's Davidson's side of the street.

Yeah, I guess people have been talking about this scenario since Avenatti dropped that hint a couple weeks ago, but I hadn't heard it before. Anyway, I liked how this piece laid everything out. It's hard to believe that Broidy would handle things this way if it were his own affair. A $1.6 million payout to a playboy bunny? Handled by a two-bit fixer like Cohen? And I bet the timing of the deal just happened to fall during the 2016 election.

Thought this was already accepted via Avenatti - but if they can prove $1'6 mill bribery - wow!

Here's a repost of that Smoking Gun piece on lawyer scumbag Davidson, who regularly did unethical behind-the-scenes tag team deals with Cohen - being part of the Broidy-Trump deal? So much the better - maybe he'll finally go down hard.
