Wasting my tax dollars.

This investigation is a waste, and also has been proven so many times over. Even a federal judge or 2 has lately slapped Mueller's hands for their obvious witch hunt.

But the comedy it brings from the frothers is almost worth the price of admission though. The amount of times that one can froth at the mouth, only to end up puking on it, and then frothing up again with the next story, only to keep rinsing and repeating. It's kinda comical.

nah, a waste is a $50m military parade when you could feed every vet instead. Finding out why Trump's personal lawyer got paid $500k from a russian oligarch for no work months after the election is worth finding out.

[Gunny]

Schiff is a typical CA Democrat. I wonder if it's a disease? The truth isn't what we want to hear so we'll pretend it's not there and just make up our own BS. Like the allegation of Russian collusion to begin with.

I mean really. On what basis was this crap even stand? If all it takes is an accusation, I got a freakin LONG list. There's more evidence of Dem collusion than Trump. And there's a LOT of evidence this whole thing is one big set up.

16 months... millions and millions wasted... an investigation illegally started with no apparent crime... mainly to cover up for clinton crimes and deep state leftist corruption, and you people are so desperate we can smell it. You've forgotten the Russian collusion farce and now are pinning your hopes on an old, two bit, washed up porn star from yesteryear that's thoroughly enjoying her 15 minutes of fame while she extorts a sitting president. Maybe Melonia should go on BIMBO CONTROL like Hitlery did for her serial sexual predator husband and start TRASHING skank Stormy.

It truly is amazing that you people have no problem with looking so pathetic and moronic. Your hatred for our president and your zeal to bring him down blinds you to everything else.

I think you people are retarded...

Nolte: Stormy Lawyer Michael Avenatti Plays Media Again (and Pete)

Based only on a tweet from the insanely partisan Michael Avenatti, the attorney representing porn star Stormy Daniels, NBC News (home of proven liars Joy Reid and Brian Williams) chose to light the world on fire with this overcooked nothingburger: “Daniels’ lawyer: Cohen got $500K from Russian oligarch Viktor Vekselberg.“

The implication, of course, is that it was actually a Russian oligarch (with close ties to Putin natch) who paid the $130,000 to silence Stormy so Trump could become president and turn the White House over to the Kremlin.

Avenatti tweeted, “After significant investigation, we have discovered that Mr. Trump’s atty Mr. Cohen received approximately $500,000 in the mos. after the election from a company controlled by a Russian Oligarc [sic] with close ties to Mr. Putin. These monies may have reimbursed the $130k payment.”

And NBC News ran wild, free, and naked with it, and the rest of the fake news media dutifully trotted right along.

Except…

-There is no proof that the “company controlled by a Russian Oligarch with close ties to Mr. Putin” is indeed a “company controlled by a Russian Oligarch with close ties to Mr. Putin.” The company in question, Columbus Nova, is by all accounts an American company. One of its biggest clients is Viktor Vekselberg, a Russian oligarch with ties to Putin, which means … … … nothing. All kinds of big American corporations have ties to monied foreigners, including Russians.
-Here is a list of some of the other companies that paid Michael Cohen’s Essential Consultants L.L.C.: AT&T, Novartis Investments S.A.R.L. (a multinational pharmaceutical company in Switzerland), and Korea Aerospace Industries.
-Are we honestly supposed to believe that, through Cohen, a multi-billionaire like Trump would let a Russian oligarch pay the $130,000 for Stormy’s non-disclosure agreement just as the media was heating up its Russia hoax? And here is the biggie NBC glossed over….
-According to the far-left New York Times, the Russian oligarch in question, Viktor Vekselberg, is “one of seven Kremlin-linked oligarchs hit with sanctions in April by the Trump administration, which also imposed the penalties on the Renova Group.”
-The Renova Group is Vekselberg’s company.
-So we are also supposed to believe that an American company is secretly controlled by a Russian oligarch who used Cohen’s consulting firm as a slush fund to make a $130,000 payment as a means to grab hold of the puppet strings of a multi-billionaire who just won the presidency. Moreover, we are supposed to believe that Trump responded to this payoff by singling his oligarch out with brutal personal and business sanctions.
-Andrew Intrater, the CEO of Columbus Nova, is the cousin to Vekselberg, and Trump still slapped him with sanctions.

Fun watching though!! I said yesterday in post #2 that this would be another failure of a story. The media DROOLS for stories and no longer even bother verifying, just put up the craziest shit possible and hope for it to stick. And Pete falls for it every single time.

But but watergate took two years and the withdrawal from the Iran deal is a smokescreen for trump covering up the fact he stole the election.

So now, not only has Pete and the left failed on the story AGAIN - we now find out that it was Hillary And Bill that had connections!! Same story again....

The Russian oligarch is linked to Bill Clinton and the Clinton Foundation.
The Examiner reported on the Clinton ties to in 2016.

New emails show Clinton Foundation staff pushed Hillary Clinton’s State Department to approve a meeting between Bill Clinton and a powerful Russian oligarch as her agency lined up investors for a project under his purview.

The Clintons’ relationship with Viktor Vekselberg, the billionaire whose name appears in the documents, has taken on new significance amid an expanding criminal investigation into his company. Last week, authorities raided the offices of Vekselberg’s firm, Renova Group, following allegations of bribery from several of Renova’s subsidiaries.

Vekselberg had been named head of a partnership dubbed the “Russian Silicon Valley” just three months before a Clinton Foundation employee began pushing the State Department to approve Bill Clinton’s proposed meeting with Vekselberg and a handful of other Russian executives.

The emails, obtained by conservative-leaning Citizens United and provided first to the Washington Examiner, do not reveal any illegal activity on the part of the State Department, the Clintons or their foundation.

But the records shed light on one of many relationships that blurred the lines between the Clinton’s political, financial and philanthropic pursuits while Hillary Clinton served as secretary of state.

Vekselberg’s Renova Group has donated between $50,000 and $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation, donor records show. Another firm associated with Vekselberg, OC Oerlikon, donated $25,000 to the Clinton Foundation.

And Viktor Vekselberg is also linked to John Podesta
Via the Stone Cold Truth:

Just how much money did Viktor Vekselberg, a controversial Russian billionaire investor with ties to the Vladimir Putin and the Russian government, launder through Metcombank, a Russian regional bank owned 99.978 percent by Vekselberg, with the money transferred via Deutsche Bank and Trust Company Americas in New York City, with the money ending up in a private bank account in the Bank of America that is operated by the Clinton Foundation?

Wikileaks emails tie John Podesta, chairman of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, into the money-laundering network with the confirmation Podesta had exercised 75,000 shares out of 100,000 previously undisclosed stock options he was secretly issued by Joule Unlimited, a U.S. corporation that ties back to Vekselberg connected Joule Global Stichting in the Netherlands – a shady entity identified in the Panama Papers as an offshore money-laundering client of the notorious Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca.

As a clear indication of guilty conscience, the Wikileaks Podesta file further documents that Podesta made a serious effort to keep the transaction from coming to light as evidenced by his decision to transfer 75,000 common shares of Joule Unlimited to Leonidio LLC, another shady shell corporation – this one listed in Salt Lake City at the home apartment of the gentlemen who registered the company.

Further research has documented that Viktor Vekselberg arranged for two transfers of unknown amounts to a private Clinton Foundation account in the Bank of America

Anyway, I'll take your current condemnation, since this issue is CURRENT news, not old news.

And yeah, I'll give you that, you don't run around defending her - but you sure as fuck don't run around condemning her for all wrongdoings as you do others either. But I suppose a condemnation here and there directed at her is good enough.

[jimnyc]

So Hillary WAS involved. And now we see they also accused an innocent "Michael Cohen". This is when you rush while frothing at the mouth!!

---

Michael Avenatti, porn star Stormy Daniels’ lawyer, released a seven-page dossier on Tuesday containing a list of payments purportedly made to Michael Cohen, the lawyer for President Donald Trump.

But there is one problem with the document: two of the allegedly “fraudulent” payments were made to men named Michael Cohen who have no affiliation with Trump.

Avenatti’s report includes a section listing “possible fraudulent and illegal financial transactions” involving Trump’s lawyer. One of the payments is a $4,250 wire transfer from a Malaysian company, Actuarial Partners, to a bank in Toronto.

The other is a $980 transfer from a Kenyan bank to Bank Hapoalim — the largest bank in Israel.

Zainal Kassim, a representative for Actuarial Partners, told The Daily Caller News Foundation Avenatti’s report is a case of mistaken identity. He forwarded an email the falsely accused Michael Cohen sent to Avenatti requesting the lawyer “correct this error forthwith and make it known publicly” there is no connection to Trump’s Michael Cohen.

“You are surely aware of the fact that this is an extremely common name and would request that you take care before involving innocent parries in this sordid affair,” wrote Cohen, who told Avenatti he is an international consultant who was paid by Actuarial Partners for work on a project in Tanzania.

“Actuarial Partners have already received inquiries from the press in this regard, and we would like to see this scurrilous rumour spiked as soon as possible.”

Haaretz, the Israeli news outlet, found another case of mistaken identity in Avenatti’s report.

“Mr. Cohen received one wire transfer in the amount of $980.00 from a Kenyan bank from account holders Netanel Cohen and Stav Hayun to an account in Israel at Bank Hapoalim,” Avenatti wrote.

Haaretz caught up with Netanel Cohen, who acknowledged having a bank account in Kenya and transferring money to a Michael Cohen. But the Michael Cohen in questions is his brother, Netanel told the news outlet. And his brother is not Trump’s lawyer.

“I’ve never heard of Michael Cohen, and I have no connection to this affair,” Netanel told Haaretz.

It is unclear how Avenatti obtained the financial records cited in his report. But various news outlets, including The New York Times, also appear to have viewed the documents. The Treasury Department’s office of the inspector general opened an investigation into whether someone leaked Cohen’s financial documents to Avenatti and the press, it was reported on Wednesday.

I swear to God, you people seriously are pathetic. I'm embarrassed FOR you, since you obviously don't have the sense to be embarrassed yourselves.

Most likely a leak by Mueller, as other information apparently only he had as a result of his investigations.

At any rate, to date, again - absolutely nothing against Trump - and to be more current - absolutely nothing about Trump involved in any Michael Cohen payments, and no one can past otherwise, including yourself. But sure is fun watching you try!

Whether today or in a year, it will yield what it has to date - nothing. Just endless funny accusations that never pan out.
