There is stuff in the questions which was not public knowledge, like the fact that Cohen was brokering deals to establish backchannel comms with Russia and had detailed plans in his possession.The trump campaign has paid over 1⁄4 million in Michael Cohen's legal fees. Apparently that is going to create some issues as well. It's okay to pay trump's legal fees and trump Jr's. (out of that fund) but it's not okay to pay Cohen's. I don't know how that works but I'd like to!
Why is trump so eager to shut down all this stuff if he's an innocent man?
You guys following the money trail evidence between Cohen, a sanctioned Russian oligarch's company (which also donated $250k to the Trump inauguration fund), AT&T, a pharmaceutical company, etc?
Millions of dollars from those sources were deposited into the LLC Cohen set up to pay off Stormy Daniels.
Entries reflected in the financial summary document, released last night by Daniels' attorney Michael Avenatti, have been confirmed by (rather nervous) statements from the companies named. With the exception of two errors amounting to less than $20k, the data has been independently confirmed as accurate.
The U.S. Treasury Dept's Inspector General has opened an investigation into how Avenatti got a hold of Cohen's LLC bank records. Avenatti appears entirely unconcerned about that and says there's more to come. I have little doubt Avenatti has legally covered his ass from all angles.
Nothing regarding outgoing payments from that LLC's account has yet been revealed. If any of that money was paid out to people in the administration and quid pro quo is apparent, the payees could end up in the deep shit hole right along with Cohen.
The Tribune has a pretty good summary:
