Just Run of the Mill Corruption With These Scumbags

Quote:Michael Cohen tried to use his relationship with Trump to score major cash from AT&T and other companies

Quote:Not long after President Donald Trump entered the White House, his former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski started a lobbying firm and pitched himself as the man with personal access to the president. Ultimately, he was ousted at the firm when it was revealed he was selling his influence. Now it seems Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen has done the same.
Cohen scored hefty cash from Novartis, collecting $1.2 million for a lobbying contract. However, it was also revealed that they weren’t the only one. According to CNN, Cohen scored cash from AT&T, who was contacted by special counsel Robert Mueller’s team.

“Telecommunications conglomerate AT&T publicly acknowledged this week that it hired Cohen for a simple reason: to gain ‘insights’ into the new President and his administration,” reported CNN. “AT&T paid Cohen at least $200,000 in 2017, according to a source familiar with the matter.”

They all belong in jail....in the same cell as the WLB.

You catch the foreign company that swore it paid Cohen for accounting advice, lol?

He's apparently just as much of an accountant as he is a lawyer.

I have a book written by Kilgore Trout (a pseudonym for Robert Silverberg, IIRC), titled "Venus on the Half Shell". One chapter in the book concerns the "Prison Planet", where everyone has been caught at some peccadillo or another. Everyone has jobs in the prison, so the prison managers effectively run the planet. The more I see who Cheeto von Tweeto runs with, the more I harken back to that story. Pretty soon we'll have a country run by the inmates. Dodgy

Philip José Farmer used thst pseudonym when writing the book. It was in homage to Kurt Vonnegut who had a character of that name in pretty much all of his novels (named in honour of Theodore Sturgeon).

The more you know.

The swamp seems to be assimilating Trumply-ites faster than Trumply is draining it . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Apparently, they expected him to save them from all of the things that people like him were doing to them, that and the mexicans.   Rolleyes
