Looking back since Trump announced he was running at how many different "news" outlets have had to retract stories, reassign employees and fired editors and reporters it's no surprise that the more legitimate reports are about magical fairy dragons.

His background, his family, his long term relationships---they are as Russian as you can get w/o being born there...
The fact that he is imminently immersed in Russian mob culture yet born in America--and look at the name "Cohen" (nothing Russian there) makes him swim undetected in a sea of criminality...

Admittedly it's just a theory--but if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, has webbed feet like a duck--
Then let's roast it...

How?

Its bank fraud if he didn't state the proper reason for the loan, isn't it?

Getting a HELOC is hard to come by these days. It takes several weeks (around a month) to get approved for one. If you can find an institution that has them. Frankly, its just as easy to refinance today as to get a new HELOC.

Last year I needed a new roof and thought that a HELOC would be a good way to go for financing. It wasn't. I was astounded at what I would have had to go thru to get it and the length of time it would take. Much different than in years past. So I cashed in some investments instead to pay for the roof.

Does he have plenty of money? Not so sure about that. He was heard to complain about not getting reimbursed the $130k. I was very skeptical re his wealth when reading about the HELOC story.

And your paper trail theory is ridiculous. No one can predict the future as you claim.

Didn't have to retract this story, which is the one you were just complaining about.

But if you notice that campaign fund violation story has quickly and quietly gone away.
I wouldn't say it has "quickly and quietly" gone away--
Sean Hannity pushed it off the headlines bigly
Then bombing Syria came about
Then Pompeo went to NK and returned alive
Then Trump met w/Abe
Then Karen McDougal's case was settled tonight

That part of the story will come back

The chairman of the FEC under Bush II said he thought it sounded exactly like campaign fraud
Campaign fraud doesn't have to occur with campaign funds--
Although I still wonder if the RNC wasn't paying for some of these payoffs since Cohen was assistant national campaign finance chair--and might still be...
HE hasn't resigned from that position like Broidy did...

I'm not predicting the future. I'm giving insight. do with it what you will.

I got my HELOC in 30 days. Very simple when you have a lot of equity in a home. A person is under no obligation to use the HELOC within a specific amount of time either. Cohen has the Trump tower condo which is worth millions. He had an established open HELOC on it and it can be used for anything. The bank fraud angle you guys are hanging on is BS.

Cohen is a loud person and loves to bust balls. Yea, he was overheard saying that to people. I heard about it. What's always left out is that other people were busting his balls about the situation and they were all laughing about it.

Unprovable hyperbolic speculation.

Dude, hate to burst your thought bubble, but Cohen was the one who outed himself because he was moaning about how Trump had not repaid the money he spent on Daniels's hush money...
The fact that no conservative MSM would run the story isn't OUR fault...
Don't blame us because your side of the media aisle is reluctant to provide their audiences with news of the day...
