Chump change for Trump. he would want and need hundreds of millions of dollars.

I could be wrong though. There could be other more lucrative grifts going down thru other channels that all add up.

To have said he was smashing it....I think that means far in excess of 4m dollars.

Reports were that during the Trump transition that he and Cohen spoke a few times a day.
This scam of Cohens supposedly began in 2017 into 2018 and could be how Cohen tried to make himself connected to Trump's administration due to not having been given a position in it.

I can't see Cohen trying to do this behind Trump's back knowing that many people were involved from these companies for word to not somehow get back to Trump.

And probably had others close to him traveling around the world sent to threaten and collect money for him, or for policies, or for protection. Mueller probably already knows what they're up to. Pay to play on steroids.
