...wow... ...that's a lot of people... ...ooops, sorry, sorry...corporations... ...gotta remember corporations are people, too...
let's call it for what it is, a slush fund to make Trump's trouble go away, as well as receive $ from those who wish to curry favor w the Trump WH Nixon had a slush fund; when Woodstein discovered it, they follow the $$, leading to the uncovering of Tricky Dick's cover-up history tends to repeat itself, particular for those proud non-history readers such as DJ Trump
Funny, how really high level execs at really big companies did things so wrong and never thought it would ever come out...
..anybody wanna bet how much of this stuff Robert Mueller already knew or at least had an idea about... ...certainly after the FBI raided Cohen's office?... ...I mean really... ...where's that blamed dominoes-falling gif somebody always has running when you need it...?
Damn, what a terrible look for Novartis. That's so blatant and f*ed up. Probably the tiniest tip of the iceberg in terms of normal American politics though. That goes way beyond Two Scoops.
Well, it was probably just business as usual. And usually, journalists don't manage to dig up the connections. They didn't expect way back in the beginning of the Trump Admin that journalists would be this keen on this issue.
Whoa... "it was almost as if we were hiring him as a lobbyist". And even more whoa... "and did not want to run the risk of ticking off the president". Almost sounds Novartis knew they were paying trump, and that trump knew about this. Could this look any worse for Novartis, and can it get any more crooked for trump? Trump’s lawyer pitched himself as a fixer to Novartis and got paid $1.2 million https://www.statnews.com/pharmalot/2018/05/09/trumps-lawyer-cohen-fixer-novartis/
very perceptive of you; fwiw, this was reported by POLITICO earlier this AM, https://www.politico.com/story/2018/05/09/novartis-cooperate-mueller-576806 : In November 2017, lawyers from Mueller’s office asked for information about theNovartis’ relationship with Essential Consultants, a shell company created by Cohen. “Novartis cooperated fully with the Special Counsel’s office and provided all the information requested,” spokeswoman Sofina Mirza-Reid said in a statement. “Novartis considers this matter closed as to itself and is not aware of any outstanding questions regarding the agreement.”
LOL... The funny thing is by contesting Cohen's lawyers will get whammed with discovery as Avenatti can demand to see financial records proving he did not get payments.
