Do You Feel Lucky?

A couple of posts down I have an article titled I Love It When People Try To Shoot Me Down. It revolves round Stormy Daniels' lawyer replying to a comment I made on how ridiculous the Russiagate anti - Trump hysteria had become. I ridiculed the lack of evidence presented by the accusers but Stormy's lawyer was eager to inform be his team (a haggard old secretary and a down at heel private eye?) had dug up evidence of payments made to the law firm of Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen by a Swiss company with 'links to a Russian oligarc (his spelling, not mine,) which doesn't actually prove election meddling, corruption or anything.

Stormy's lawyer has been schepping the same schtick all round the web it seems because it turned up on Zero Hedge.

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 with close ties to Mr. Putin. These monies may have reimbursed the $130k payment.

The follow up is quite amusing, although I doubt that Michael Avenatti appreciates irony.

from Zero Hedge:

When we commented earlier on the latest document leak involving Stormy Daniels' lawyer and former Rahm Emanuel opposition researcher, Michael Avenatti, who "somehow" had gotten access to Michael Cohen's wire transfer documents obtained by Richard Mueller as part of his investigation into Russian collusion, we asked just how it was possible that this critical piece of Mueller's probe had been strategically leaked to the man who is now leading the legal charge against President Trump.

It appears we were not the only ones to ask that question because less than a day after Avenatti unveiled he had access to Cohen's bank records...

... the WaPo reported that the Treasury Department’s inspector general has begun an investigation whether and how the confidential banking information for Essential Consultants LLC, the company controlled by President Trump’s personal attorney, was leaked. READ ALL >>>
