President Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen promised the pharmaceutical company Novartis that they could have access to President Trump and his inner circle if they signed a contract with him, a Novartis employee told Stat on Wednesday.

1. Ah, Influence-Peddling. Wonderful!

What is it called again when you pay someone to get you face time with a President? What is the word I'm thinking of?

[pangaia]

3. Cock sucking.

[MineralMan]

5. There's nothing wrong with that, though.

Influence-peddling, on the other hand, is recognized as wrong by everyone. Fellatio is just a common sexual activity that is enjoyed by countless millions of people. It shouldn't be used as a slur, I think.

[pangaia]

16. MM, you are right....

Certainly can not argue with you there..

[kooth]

22. There's Nothing Wrong With That ...

I most wholeheartedly agree sir!

[ProudMNDemocrat]

4. BRIBERY. ......

Which is Illegal.

[MineralMan]

8. That's the word I was looking for!

Thanks!

[ProudMNDemocrat]

10. No problem......

Michael Cohen is in deeper shit than he bargained for it appears. Orange will look becoming on him.

9. Pay to play.

Now where have I heard that before?

[ProudMNDemocrat]

2. If that is not PAY TO PLAY.......

Then what does one categorize this then?

[NightWatcher]

6. Payola? Quid pro quo....

Or like you said pay to play. Either way, there's no subtlety to it. It's a crime straight up and grounds for removal.

23. Tuition for Trump University

7. Cohen is screwed seven ways to Sunday.

Question becomes if Trump knew about it.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

15. Just like he DID NOT know of the June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower?????

Trump is in on everything. Anyone who thinks otherwise is behind the curve for sure.

[ksoze]

11. The comments are the best....

[MineralMan]

17. Wonderful!

Novartis Rep: I have an envelope here for you.

Cohen: Just put it over there on the credenza, where I can find it accidentally, OK?

Novartis Rep: Sure, Mr. Cohen. Whatever you prefer.

12. Ding dong, who's at the door?

The company also said that special counsel Robert Mueller had contacted it last year over the payments to Cohen.

————LAST YEAR———-

Mr. Mueller & Co. are light years ahead of me, man, LIGHT YEARS!!!

Bravo!!

RESPECT

[dixiegrrrrl]

13. "if they signed a contract"...I know what THAT is called.

Evidence.

[Stallion]

19. Exhibit A

[manor321]

14. WOW!

Holy crap!

[Stallion]

18. ...And Now We Know Why Cohen was Not named to a Government Position

...because he couldn't collect bribes on the inside.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

20. They already knew he was too dirty and a high risk...

...even for a tRump appointment. Now that's LOW.

...... .........

[KY_EnviroGuy]

21. Question: If I send Cohen ten bucks in the mail....

Could I then get tRump's ear? I have a few things I would like to say to him.

....... .............

[Dennis Donovan]

24. Of course, this explains why his office and home were raided aggressively...

They already had the goods on him!

[NewJeffCT]

25. But, didn't Trump say he was so rich

that things like Pay to Play or Quid Pro Quo wouldn't affect him?

You mean he liked about that?
