https://washingtonmonthly.com/2018/0...-donald-trump/

So whoever wrote this is a big circle jerk is wrong. Time and again we keep finding out there is more there there and that a nothing burger weighs 2 lbs and has 12 slices of bacon and cheese.

I already here the "Right" saying...

"So what if Cohen really went to Prague? You can't prove he was doing anything wrong."
I wouldn't bet they don't find evidence--

It wouldn't surprise me if Cohen didn't keep records or maybe an audio file of conversation telling someone he did pay off those hackers...

If it turns out true it would be substantially worse that what I was expecting and I already thought they were dirty as hell.... I figured, bit of money laundering here, bit of intimidation there, add a dash of shady business deals.... if that scenario is right it would be catastrophically worse than that.

It becomes suspicious when the total cash on the books per day exceeds this amount:

# of cabs * hour of meter time * 24

I read where Cohen reportedly owned 120 cabs.

It makes sense he got out of the cab business and into real estate since he could no longer hide so much cash.

So tell us Hannity, exactly why were you getting legal advice from Cohen on real estate?

Define catastrophically...
Constitutional crisis
What do you see the die-hard GOP Trumpsters doing when this really hits the fan

And Trump's kids were totally involved with his business
Ivana went to Azerbijan and worked on the hotel that was financed partially with Iranian Revolutionary Guard money Trump Tower Baku--
Of course there is no proof--as in court evidence under oath--
But it is in Azerbijan--would you expect the oligarchs in the deal to be put on trial???

Cohen owned his until recently according to his uncle----but there is no real proof he divested himself of it...
You know how the mob likes to keep things in the family...

Boyhood friend with Felix Sater whose father was an underboss for one of the largest, more powerful Russian mob families
Although Sater did turn federal witness and testified against Russian co-conspirators
He got a minor fine and no jail time

They are real and likely mostly unexplored...

Father-in-law of Trump lawyer Michael Cohen reportedly loaned at least $20 million to Chicago cab mogul mentioned in FBI search warrants for Cohen

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/19/fath...cab-mogul.html

Hmm taxis are really profitable

So how exactly did this Ukrainian immigrant do so well in NYC that he could afford to lend $20mm to someone in Chicago?

There are five kinds of cheese on this nothing burger.

Hannity's statements were to the affect that he had asked Cohen for advice on several occasions. However, Cohen had never officially represented him in any case. Perhaps to you that does not entitle him to "attorney client privilege." But your opinion isn't what governs. It is the law that governs.

And, no, that was not the only article I read, however it was included as a link from other articles, which I also read. So what?
Hannity said he is not a client numerous times so one of them is lying. Which one do you think it is?
