......His father-in-law, Fima Schusterman, and Semyon “Sam” Shtayner, big taxi guy in Chicago:

NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, whose business dealings are being investigated by the FBI, and the lawyer’s father-in-law have lent $26 million in recent years to a taxi mogul who is shifting into the legalized marijuana industry, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.

Semyon “Sam” Shtayner, a longtime business associate of Michael Cohen’s father-in-law, created Nevada-based Cannaboss LLC the day before the 2016 election. A few months later, he took a majority position in a company that is provisionally licensed to cultivate medicinal marijuana and produce edibles, the records show.

—— Fima Schusterman has or had (I cannot find any dated material) a real estate company, called “Schusterman Fima” (https://ny.convenientbusinessdirectory.com/company/shusterman-fima.html), hmmmmm, and he is mentioned in the Steele Dossier:






.....Sean Hannity is a client:




......as is Elliot Broidy:



(Broidy and Cohen were both members of the RNC finance team, along with chairman and serial sexual predator Steve Wynn)

.......The elusive FELIX SATER is a childhood friend

.....Allen Weisselberg, chief financial officer of The Trump Organization:



......Keith Davidson - Stormy’s original lawyer, Karen McDougal’s ex-lawyer, and Shera Bechard’s lawyer (Avenatti’s been gunning for him from the get-go)

.......Bears watching: Cohen connection to Frank Haney and Sheikh Al Thani:

At a meeting in Miami on April 5, Franklin Haney, the owner of an inoperative nuclear power plant in Hollywood, Alabama, sought a major investment for his facility, according to two sources familiar with the gathering. His target, the sources say, was Sheikh Ahmed bin Jassim bin Mohammed Al Thani, Qatar’s minister of economy and commerce and deputy chairman of the Qatar Investment Authority, the $300 billion sovereign wealth fund of the natural-gas-rich Persian Gulf state. Also at the meeting, according to the sources, was Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s longtime personal lawyer and fixer. (Several days later, Cohen’s office and home would be raided by federal agents.)


....of course, Cohen is mentioned in the Steele Dossier - we’ll have to see if the assertion about him ever comes to fruition -

...and lastly, dese guys are close friends, looks like, but who can say what part they may play in Cohen’s fate....



A good day, DU, a very very fine, tremendous day, believe me!!!
