Cohen made a previously unreported $50K payment to tech co "in connection w/ Trump campaign"

Michael Cohen paid a mysterious tech company $50,000 'in connection with' Trump's campaign

President Donald Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, made a previously unreported payment of $50,000 to a tech company in connection with Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.

The document detailing the payment does not say which company Cohen paid the money to, or what, exactly, the company did for him.

The payment suggests that Cohen may have been doing more for Trump, and for the Trump campaign, than had been previously known.

He couldn't use his social media guy (Parscale?) for any additional hacking or social media intrusions, I bet. He kept this separate, whether Brad Parscale knew it or not. Maybe it was someone cleaning up his emails or something. I hope we find out.

or maybe somewhere else!! - to hand off cash to hackers outside the US...$50,000 doesn’t seem like a lot of dough, considering the millions Cohen has had his hands on, but - that would be quite the fortune to some 400-pound guy in his mother’s basement...


Kremlin insider reports TRUMP lawyer COHEN's secret meeting/s with Kremlin officials in
August 2016 was/were held in Prague

- Russian parastatal organisation Rossotrudnichestvo used as cover for this liaison and premises
in Czech capital may have been used for the meeting/s

- Pro-PUTIN leading Duma figure, KOSACHEV, reportedly involved as "plausibly deniable"
facilitator and may have participated in the August meeting/s with COHEN

Detail

1. Speaking to a compatriot and friend on 19 October 2016, a Kremlin insider provided further
details of reported clandestine meeting/s between Republican presidential candidate, Donald
TRUMP'S lawyer Michael COHEN and Kremlin representatives in August 2016. Although the
communication between them had to be cryptic for security reasons, the Kremlin insider
clearly indicated to his/her friend that the reported contact/s took place in Prague, Czech
Republic.


I can, as I say, prove nuthin, but it will be so grand when this particular Dossier story is
finally fully revealed to us!!!
