I found this reply to Avenatti.

I expect Trump losing 10 lbs...sweating from fear.

Michael Cohen is spending a lovely 80-degree day with his friends, outside his Manhattan hotel, smoking a cigar. On the right: Rotem Rosen. Rotem Rosen and Alex Sapir accompanied Donald Trump on his 2013 trip to Russia.

The guy in the grey shirt is Dan Elituv, CEO of Gottex Models, Ltd. Elituv bought Gottex in 2009 from Lev Leviev, a Soviet-born oligarch with close ties to Putin. In 2015 Kushner Companies bought a stake in the old New York Times building from Lev Leviev.

Rotem Rosen is the "right hand man" of real estate magnate and Putin ally Lev Leviev. Here's Ivanka at the bris Leviev organized for Rosen.

Let's see who else is in that first photo. In the back on the left: Jerry Rotonda, former CFO Deutsche Bank. Rotem Rosen and Jerry Rotonda recently launched a development firm targeting NYC properties with Indian billionaire Anand Mahindra.

1. Alex Sapir

Wow the Russian mob connections to Trump just keep getting crazier

[BigmanPigman]

2. Thick as thieves.

Is everybody the moron and RNC knows a Russian?

[MLAA]

4. Yes, I think they do 😉

[BobTheSubgenius]

16. That's a bit biased.

They know and deal with criminals of many nationalities.

3. Francis Ford Coppola may need to come out of retirement

and make the movie about these people.

[BigmanPigman]

5. I was sitting around eating oranges (I'm sick)

and looked up and saw myself in the mirror and laughed since I was reading about Cohen being a consigliere and thought of Brando.

[dixiegrrrrl]

14. I thought of Tom Hagmen after hearing about Cohen's arrest.

It's like it is suddenly ever so blatantly clear. Of course they are a mob. run by the infamous Russian mob leader.

[Marcuse]

28. Trump as the corrupt Senator Geary?

Like Joe Kennedy, Vito was too smart and self aware to aspire to be an U.S. elected official. Trump is neither.

[dixiegrrrrl]

35. I was referring to Cohen's role the same as the lawyer in The Godfather. n/t

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. I'm thinking of his film

The Conversation

[blake2012]

21. Needs to be co-written with Judd Apatow

[Corgigal]

6. Brilliant

Hope he was wearing a wire.

[yortsed snacilbuper]

7. Kick

[IluvPitties]

8. Good!

[oberliner]

9. Interesting choice of photo for Rotem Rosen

[syringis]

10. Why ?

[oberliner]

11. Seems to emphasize his religion

[syringis]

17. I can't tell, but not sure of that.

Perhaps there is not other photos with Rosen, Ivanka and Jared ?

This pic was taken during a religious event. Well, I suppose. What is "bris Leviev" ? I see a name (Lev Leviev), but is "bris Leviev" a name for a Jewish ritual ?

On the second photo, there is no reference to the religion.

[Shrike47]

20. The sentence is about the bris that Mr. Leviev organized.

[syringis]

22. Hi Shrike, thank you.

What is a bris ?

[hay rick]

23. Read bris (that) Leviev organized for Rosen.

Bris is a Jewish ceremony of circumcision. I agree that the likely reason for using this photo is not to emphasize religion but to put Ivanka in the same room as Rosen. I also think casual acquaintances don't usually get invited to a bris.

[syringis]

25. Hi Rick

Thank you.

I'm Happy, I've learned something new.

[oberliner]

34. Except Rotem Rosen isn't in the photo

Instead there is a large close up of a religious Jewish figure.

[oberliner]

32. I would also mention that you cannot even see Rotem Rosen in that photo

And I can see people mistaking the person in the foreground as being him.

[poboy2]

24. It seems to show he with Ivanka in the background in the photo. Thats why it was chosen. Sheesh. -nt

[oberliner]

31. But Roten Rosen himself is not even shown in the photo

Just a close up of a religious Jewish figure.

[Lucinda]

27. They ID'd Ivanka in the background of the photo...I think that is why it was selected

[oberliner]

30. Right but the man in the foreground is not Rotem Rosen

I do not believe he is even pictured at all in that photo.

[triron]

12. Wonder is the media will cover this Monday?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. Merci syringis. . . . nt

[syringis]

18. Hi Bernardo

Mais de rien, c'est avec plaisir.

[syringis]

19. Kick for update

The guy in the grey shirt is Dan Elituv, CEO of Gottex Models, Ltd. Elituv bought Gottex in 2009 from Lev Leviev, a Soviet-born oligarch with close ties to Putin. In 2015 Kushner Companies bought a stake in the old New York Times building from Lev Leviev.

[malaise]

33. Thanks

[orangecrush]

26. Kick and Rec

[SunSeeker]

29. Scum of the earth.

[KelleyKramer]

36. Why would he do that out in public?

Is that to send some kind of message?

Then again it could be the simple answer... he really is that stupid

[Leghorn21]

37. ...and its looking like Deutsche Bank CFO joined the party as well?
