Stormy Daniels's lawyer puts out a slam-debunkable claim of new Russian collusion
By Monica Showalter

Gotcha.  Russian collusion.  President Trump's personal attorney, Michael Cohen, took a $500,000 payment from a Russian oligarch shortly after the 2016 election.  Bango!  Or so the headlines derived from the claims of porn "star" Stormy Daniels's attorney, Michael Avenatti, would have you think.  Trump brought down by a porn star.

It's tripe.  Get a load of how it's being reported, by anti-Trump network CNN:

    The lawyer representing adult film star Stormy Daniels sought to ratchet up the pressure on Donald Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen Tuesday, claiming that he has learned of numerous banking transactions that could call into question Cohen's business practices.

    "Michael Cohen should not be selling access to the President of the United States," attorney Michael Avenatti said on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360" Tuesday night.

    In a memo posted online Tuesday afternoon, Avenatti alleged that Cohen received the following payments after the 2016 election: approximately half-a-million dollars from a company linked to Viktor Vekselberg, a Russian oligarch with close ties to the Kremlin; nearly $400,000 from pharmaceutical giant Novartis; $150,000 from Korea Aerospace Industries and $200,000 from telecommunications conglomerate AT&T.

Michael Avenatti, the attorney for Stormy Daniels, alleged on Tuesday that a Russian oligarch paid Trump Attorney Michael Cohen $500,000 for “insights” into the Trump administration.

The deposits were made in the months following the 2016 election.

    After significant investigation, we have discovered that Mr. Trump’s atty Mr. Cohen received approximately $500,000 in the mos. after the election from a company controlled by a Russian Oligarc with close ties to Mr. Putin. These monies may have reimbursed the $130k payment.

... Avenatti offered no proof for his allegations.  It is also not clear how the porn star’s attorney would discover the private information.

Cohen told Novartis he could get them access.

Stormy's now got experience in foreign relations?  The headlines get more ridiculous every day.

Avenatti has been right every time he makes a comment.  I think he is working with the FBI and I'm not kidding.

@Victoria33  I'm trying to see how that would be legal, because you sound right on the money.
