The basically bribe money going to Cohen continued despite fact Novartis realized Cohen wasn't delivering anything of value.
"Rather than attempt to cancel the contract, the company allowed it to lapse early in 2018 and not run the risk of ticking off the president. “It might have caused anger,” this person said."
Well I think news report is wrong. Not getting the President of the US mad at you seems to be good reason to continue paying Cohen $100,000 a month.
Nothing to do with Trump. Nothing came of it. Don't you think this happens in every industry? Not illegal.
Maybe not illegal but definitely questionable. These are the special interests that run Washington and "access" is all along the food chain of govt departments. This is why our political system is so screwed up. They write the legislation and then give it to congress to read and sign. No kidding.

I am reading Peter Schweitzer's Secret Empires where he talks about how politicians, their friends and families enrich themselves. Not illegal but common practice. Humans are by nature greedy so if there is nothing illegal there is nothing we can do.
Because of Kerry violating the Logan Act by interfering in the Iran deal, I need to quickly read the chapters about him and his stepson. Billions of dollars were made through political connections. Same for Biden, Obama and McConnell. Strongly recommend this book You can buy a used copy at amazon for less.

Yep. Kinda like paying off the police to keep your business safe. Hope mueller will tell us what Trump's cut was. For a billionaire, he sure doesn’t seem to have much money. I’d love to see his balance sheets and his tax returns.

Korea Aerospace Industries Ltd., which is seeking to sell its planes in the U.S., hired Cohen’s entity for advice on local accounting standards, a spokesman for the South Korean company said Wednesday.
