How Did These Firms (AT&T, Novartis, KAI) Know To Contact Cohen?.....

[global1]

Did he advertise his services? Did he go to the firms and say he can give them access to the Trump WH? These firms had to know that Cohen was close to Trump and that is what caused them to pay up to get to Trump.

5. Cohen made the first contact with Novartis.

There have been several other articles that specifically said that said Cohen was cold calling CEOs.

Michael Cohen, a longtime fixer for the president, reached out to Novartis’s then-chief executive officer Joe Jimenez, promising help gaining access to Trump and influential officials in the new administration, according to an employee inside Novartis familiar with the matter.

6. And Cohen lied to the courts about all this

He clearly lied to the judge when he said he only had three clients - Trump, Hannity and that other guy who stands-in for Trump for sex payoffs. No mention of AT&T, Novartis, the Korean co or Russian crooks. I wonder if that judge will take action. He lied to her face.

8. I think that referred to clients for whom he was working for as an attorney..

..the ones where attorney-client privilege would potentially be relevant in terms of the documents taken from his offices.

Whatever is actually going on with these payments to him, he's not doing legal work for these companies based upon their own statements.

7. The Ceo's of Att and novartis met with trump

In Jan. A deal was made and most likely he told the CEO get in touch with Cohen for the details. Now Cohen can legita mately claim they contacted him.

9. Cohen is the face of DC Swamp

Cohen was furiously peddling his status as personal lawyer of the president and selling access.
