What's that mean?

I have mentioned him many times last year.

Cohen and his brother both married daughters of Ukraine 'oligarchs' Both had been imprisoned in Ukraine and Cohen's father in law was in trouble in Chicago a long time ago over taxi licences, the same pretext used for the feds raiding Cohen. His father in law has recently 'loaned' another large Chicago operator $20-40 million to bail him out. 

Cohen's uncle Morton Levine has also been in this taxi crime loop along with other members of the so called Russian mafia in NY. Levine owned a club that was the headquarters of the Russian and Jewish mafia, and Cohen bought into it . Felix Sater and Cohen grew up in and around that club, El Caribe(or something like that) They are all intertwined through these taxi medallions. The taxi industry is renowned for money laundering and in the case of Cohen and his and his brother's fathers in law, former Soviet money laundering

Cohen and Sater were a means to access Russian money and real estate in Moscow.

Sater(also a CIA informant) is friends with Putin. He got the Trump Russia project rolling.

He also partnered Ivanka in the problematic Trump Soho project that nearly got Ivanka imprisoned. Daddy paying off prosecutors got her off. That is also currently being investigated in NY.

Seems to be bothering Donald a tad.

Will his desperate attempt to distance himself from Cohen and deny all knowledge of his malfeasance be successful as most of his other slimy ploys seem to be ?

That depends on the evidence Mueller has.

More: Notorious Russian mobster Nayfeld, who's not a Mueller fan, worked as bodyguard for Russian mob don Balagula, who maintained an office in El Caribe, a Brooklyn social club owned by the uncle of Trump's longtime personal lawyer, Michael Cohen.

Bada Bing: Before Trump hired him, Michael Cohen practiced law out of a taxi garage in Queens, partnering with shady characters who ended up disciplined, disbarred, accused or convicted of crimes – for running, what seem to be, local mob rackets.

Through Don Jr. Cohen bought an apartment in Trump Tower 12 or so years ago, and joined the building's governing body, where he got to know Don and offered his legal advice for the corporate body. It went from there.

Even the author of the Buzz Feed report admits to not being able to corroborate the story. No one else can corroborate it either.


Has the accusation been denied? . . .

Yes, it was denied later by Sarah Sanders and Rudy. You will post anything, even if unsubstantiated, to prove your points.

Selective reading Shammy. I said it took 14 hours for a full denial. Just sayin' Wink

It took 14 hours for Rudy to come out and say it was categorically false.

don't forget his biggest influence, Roy Cohn

Federal investigations during the 1970s and 1980s charged Cohn three times with professional misconduct, including perjury and witness tampering.[3] He was accused in New York of financial improprieties related to city contracts and private investments. He was acquitted of all charges.[3] In 1986, a five-judge panel of the Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court disbarred Cohn for unethical and unprofessional conduct, including misappropriation of clients' funds, lying on a bar application, and pressuring a client to amend his will.

 Btw Shammy, I am sure you also read the Cohen sentencing memos from SDNY and Mr Mueller. 

As most of this stuff, including the coordination of stories was spelled out in there, I think Mr Mueller is actually their primary source along with some of the dozens of Trump people who told the same lies in hearings.

The only difference really is the assertion that it was on Trump's instruction. That may have come from any or many of those who appeared and lied.

"Cohen provided relevant and useful information concerning his contacts with persons connected to the White House during the 2017--2018 time period... Cohen described the circumstances of preparing and circulating his response to the congressional inquiries, while continuing to accept responsibility for the false statements contained within it."

I think I’ve said it before on here but all you have to do is do the form on Trump and how he has always operated. Look at his track record. He dived in bed with the New York Mafia to get the original Trump Tower built . Ditto his Atlantic City Casinos . All of his “ fixers” throughout his career have had mob connections. As his brand waned in significance in the USA in recent years he simply moved on to Russian criminals to partner up with. All of this is fair enough if you just want to be a self promoting reality TV star, but POTUS? I honestly don’t know how anyone can still defend the man.

The American Public voted him in.

    Tony Abbott was served up the same deal.

We dont elect Prime Ministers maxie, we elect parties and they select a Prime Minister. 

Tones was the system working, a complete dud that the party apologized for and dispatched to the back bench.

Republicans need to step up and take responsibility for their colossal Trump mistake, if not for the country and world then just for their party, and dispatch him in a Senate trial following impeachment. Democrats cant do it without them.
