Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsWait a second. So Cohen gave a "tech firm" money, right? Trump blamed a "400 lb hacker" in debates.
A Redditor put it all together:
C'mon!! Where's the $50,000 question?? Page 16 of the criminal information filed in Cohen's case yesterday mentioned a reimbursement for "tech services" that Cohen "solicited" on behalf of the campaign. Then, pg. 34 of the Steele Dossier discusses Cohen involvement in making "deniable cash payments to hackers." Now Davis confirms the link to Russian hackers.
Why would the Trump campaign pay anything through the Trump organization, and why would it need to be made surreptitiously through Michael Cohen?? Why on earth is Cohen going around soliciting "tech services" for the campaign?? Since no possible alibi makes any sense, I think we're sitting on a piece of the smoking gun in broad daylight.

Freaking Trump was projecting in the debates. His own people paid hackers. This is mind boggling if true. The Steele Dossier keeps on giving.

I cant stand to look at his face and I turn whatever I see that has him in it,...OFF. When we all turn off the news and boycott like we did for that guy on fox news, none of this diatribe will change quickly. What the hells that SOABs name who used to have the night time show? Insufferable bastard.

.... made to Russian hackers in Prague in late summer 2016?

That is the implication.
He paid hackers for the Trump campaign.

Cohen is going to turn out to be a bigger asset to the prosecution than I first realized.
