NBC News: "Michael Cohen used his Trump Organization email address in Stormy Daniels arrangements."

BUT HER EMAI...oh fuck it. I give up.

Trump lawyer Michael Cohen used his Trump Organization email while arranging to transfer money into an account at a Manhattan bank before he wired $130,000 to Stormy Daniels to buy her silence, NBC News reports.


Update: On Oct. 26th – 1 day after the Trump campaign completed a series of disbursements to Trump Org hotels that totaled $130K – the bank emailed Cohen at his http://trumporg.com account to confirm the $130K for Stormy's settlement had been deposited.


Helluva coincidence.






President Donald Trump's personal attorney used his Trump Organization email while arranging to transfer money into an account at a Manhattan bank before he wired $130,000 to adult film star Stormy Daniels to buy her silence.

The lawyer, Michael Cohen, also regularly used the same email account during 2016 negotiations with the actress — whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford — before she signed a nondisclosure agreement, a source familiar with the discussions told NBC News.

And Clifford's attorney at the time addressed correspondence to Cohen in his capacity at the Trump Organization and as "Special Counsel to Donald J. Trump," the source said.

The Trump Org is not the campaign. So all this is saying is that Trump slept with her, which i don’t think anyone was seriously contesting anyway.

And try to move on?

While it's in the courts every little detail will be splattered all over the media every day and keep this in the news for a long time to come.

The Trumplicans don't care anyway.

"Evangelicals did not vote for Donald Trump based on his moral qualifications, but based upon what he said he was going to do, and who he surrounded himself with."

"He’s not God. So if he was God and was president, then I’d have a problem. That is the only being who is sin-free: God.”

“You have to take the good along with the bad. In my view, Donald Trump’s good outweighs his bad.”

"In a private transaction in 2016, I used my own personal funds to facilitate a payment of $130,000 to Ms. Stephanie Clifford. Neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction with Ms. Clifford, and neither reimbursed me for the payment, either directly or indirectly. The payment to Ms. Clifford was lawful, and was not a campaign contribution or a campaign expenditure by anyone."
