Hmm, Hillarious laundered over $84 million in campaign finds per the FEC records not including the Clinton's bogus foundations. What happened to the alleged RICO FBI investigation on that? Seems Loretta dropped that ball. And yet media is chasing Trump like a rabid dog.

And ... so what ?  A private contract between a private person/private attorney and a large private company.  Cohen was not part of thr Trump Admin. So proof that Mueller has gone outside the authorized scope of his investigation. Meaning that he is not the proper convening authority for potential crimes. This in fact is a simple contract law situation at best. Again , so what? Novartis already stated that Cohen didn't give them any information along the signs they were looking for. Another nothing burger.

Totally agree.....Large companies always try to gain an interest/advantage in every administration....The swamp is full of these lobbyists.......just how it works.......

 

Just another "nothing burger" by the MSM, and our friends here who are trying to stir the pot.........CL

The Dems are over playing their hand with this investigation.  Making a martyr out of President Trump is a foolish strategy.  Mid terms may be very interesting.

Payments to Michael Cohen show how 'shadow lobbying' eludes US law

 

Cohen has said he provided consultancy services rather than lobbying, and is not required by law to register as a lobbyist and disclose payments

There are those (many sadly here @ DV) that hate/resent the successful/rich because they aren't and are jealous. The rich snub their nose at the middle class & poor because they're tired of supporting those that complain and don't try to better themselves. IMO of course
