Donald Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, received a secret payment of at least $400,000 (£300,000) to fix talks between the Ukrainian president and President Trump, according to sources in Kiev close to those involved.

The payment was arranged by intermediaries acting for Ukraine's leader, Petro Poroshenko, the sources said, though Mr Cohen was not registered as a representative of Ukraine as required by US law.

Mr Cohen denies the allegation.

The meeting at the White House was last June. Shortly after the Ukrainian president returned home, his country's anti-corruption agency stopped its investigation into Trump's former campaign manager, Paul Manafort.


This shit is so blatant. The world is looking at the USA like we're a a banana republic.

Paul Wood put on the big boy pants to dig those details out of a region well know for publicly and brutally disappearing his kind.

There's an org mentioned in Wood article, "Chabad of Port Washington." Interesting what comes up when you Google search said org...

Pay to play. This won't bother Trump people because they don't care, but Cohen isn't going to like the fact that what he has done is illegal.

It turns out that Kushner sat through an eight hour grilling in the not so distant past. No wonder Trump is tripping!

I was right.

"On the other side of the world, the brash Manhattan developer was working to get a piece of the massive flows of capital that were fleeing the former Soviet Union in search of stable assets in the West, especially real estate, and seeking partners in New York with ties to the region."

Trump should have just sold the Russians Uranium..........then no one would care?!?!

"Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each" - Henry David Thoreau

That sale was approved by the Committee on Foreign Investment.

Treasury is the chair of the committee.

Secretary of State is one voting member.

Committee also includes Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, Commerce, and others.

So how exactly did Clinton unilaterally approve that sale?

-------------------------
...

Besides the fact that it was investigated by the FBI and others concluding that there was no quid pro quo, the uranium can't be exported anyway.

Fox news addled brain?

I was right.

Trump is a traitor.

Um, this is what the FBI does. It's the whole investigation part in FBI.

The gerrymandering almost guarantees that Republicans hold congress, so I'm not holding my breath, though I am quite happy with the stress a possible Dem win causes you and with the fact that the cocksucker Roy Moore lost. The current group is the most ineffective House and Senate in generations, so even if they stay it doesn't matter, because they can't get anything done anyway...
