(19,906 posts)Morning Joe was just discussing Cohen being left behind in NY, while the others moved on to Washington. John Heilemann brought up this and it's something I've been thinking about recently too. The story put out there was that Cohen desperately wanted to go to Washington, but Trump (ironically) thought he would be a bull in a China (Chiner ?) shop. Considering the dregs working under Trump, he has a problem with that ???
It's my thought that Trump needed someone to manage the "pay to play", and that was Cohen's function. We just need all the bank information to prove that right !!!

I'd guess he bundled this money with dirty money, bought Trump properties thereby cleansing the Russian money AND enriching Trump, and got some sort of a cut out of it - but not too much this is Trump we are talking about.
First principles, Clarice. Simplicity. Read Marcus Aurelius. Of each particular thing ask: what is it in itself? What is its nature? What does he do, this man you seek?

Because Trump would like to buy the loyalty of the Republicans in the House and Senate. It gives him a sense of control. It makes the Republicans subservient to him, personally.
In my opinion, this latest story about Adelson donating $30 million to the Republicans may be simply a scheme to hide the money that goes thru Cohen's accounts?

Not the actions of someone who took in $4.4 Million in such a short time. Trump probably kicked COhen 3% or so, the rest was funneled back into the Trump org.
