    I wonder what her next career move will be with big media, maybe a commentator for election night at CNN. As an expert on poles she could interpret the numbers right up to the end of the election.

    Apparently it's to appear on SNL. Kinda hard to take her seriously if her story is considered to be comedy.

    Trump lawyer Michael Cohen 'paid by firm linked to Russian' - BBC News

    Not really sure where to put that story, but it is interesting... in the do-you-believe-in-coincidence context of "interesting."

    Mr Cohen's company, Essential Consultants LLC, last year received half a million dollars from Columbus Nova, a New York-based investment company affiliated with a firm controlled by Russian oligarch Viktor Vekselberg, according to the New York Times.

    Now, monetizing relationships is part of how DC operates. Cohen setting up an LLC to "consult" and leverage his knowledge of and relationship with Trump is a pretty normal thing. But, this link to the Russian dude makes it pretty sketchy.

    Negative news is fake news.

    Victor Vekselberg as head of the Renova Group donated between $50,000 and $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation and another firm, OC Oerlikon, associated with Vekselberg donated $25,000 to the Clinton Foundation. The Clinton - Russian connection runs deep.

    I'm missing the intent by bringing that up. I'll advise, that you to be careful in how you respond (concerning the "why").

    Oy vey.

    To channel my inner Thanos, nature should be in balance. If INGO has nevertrumpers, it only makes sense to have alwaysclintons.

    Notwithstanding the observation that the payments to the Trump cohort is ~10x what you've described, the issue isn't whether the Clintons are stained. The question is whether Trump shares that stain.

    By what logic can one defend Trump in this matter by putting him in the same bucket with the Clintons? In other circumstances, that would be a criticism rather than a defense.

    LMFAO! The company came out and clearly stated what that payment for services rendered was and it had nothing to do with Cohen. Also it had been fully disclosed to investigators. More fake news headlines and grasping at straws.

    I can speak Russian and I voted for Trump. I must be investigated. Deffinately something there since it's a Russia connection it cant be coincidence

    By what stretches and leaps did you come to the conclusion that that is defending President Trump? It merely shows this Russian guy spreads his money around, he has tons of it, sometimes to buy services and maybe sometimes to try to buy influence. He probably has many, many financial dealings around the world including the US. Personally I suspect his main motivation is financial gain for himself.

    I think you answered your own question. :)

    The defense appears to be structured thusly:
    - Trump and/or his associates received money/benefit from a Russian oligarch.
    - Clintons and/or their associates received money/benefit from same Russian oligarch.
    - Trump can't possibly be doing anything wrong because the Clintons received the same money/benefit.

    Or are you saying that it really isn't a defense at all, but really is a criticism?

    Exactly my point. If you hadn't said anything, I would imagine most would see it as a criticism. i.e "the corrupt Clintons did it too." ....which isn't a defense.

    Heck, as recently as 3 years ago, I think if someone had stated "[Any person] is doing the same thing the Clintons did" then that [Any person] would've been labeled a traitor by INGO.

    No one has even mentioned the fact that the lowest form of a human being is a prostitute that talks.
    I think the people who say things like that reveal much about their character. And possibly the nature of certain contractual liaisons.

    If accepting money from foreign contributors is illegal, and the entirety of the American criminal justice system has not seen fit to hold the Clinton machine to account with its decades-long record of the same, then why is it a big deal when Trump does it? It's apparently part and parcel of the game of politics in the U.S.

    We have John Kerry openly committing treason against the United States by publicly and flagrantly negotiating with a hostile foreign power to undermine US foreign policy, in clear violation of the Logan Act, and everyone is worried that Trump may have banged a porn star a decade ago.

    At this point, my definition of mixed emotions is a Russian airstrike on DNC headquarters. :):

    (That's a joke, for the humor-impaired)

    Nothing in my post has anything to do with President Trump. It is a statement.

    Do you also imagine that Post #644 has anything to do with the clintons?

    Lol, no I think you just have a bias against hookers. And also possibly have the high and mighty personality trait to judge or look down on other people just because you dont like or believe in something they do.
    I think prostitution should be legal and is an arrangement between two adults. One of the parts of that is silence by the prostitute. And that's what stormy daniels is. I'm sure there was some benefit to her for sleeping with him and I dont care what they worked out. Happens all the time.
    If I was picked to be a juror for a hooker trial, I'm using jury notification because I believe the law making it illegal is wrong. That doesnt mean I use hookers.
    I can still take my oath to my wife very serious and I do.
