1. How many did they pay off?

3. About 6 women:

$774,000/($130,000/woman) = 5.95 women, or 4 women with the reminder going to Cohen's "fees."

5. I'll be the Official DU Broken Record tonight:

Even hinted wispy allegations of a Democratic rep having an affair would be sufficient cause to send their career down in flames.

2. Is this the Friday news dump

Sent to Cohen “from Russia with Love “ ?

4. It's a lot of money

to most of us, but for billionaires and their closest associates, $774k is a retirement fund, a vacation home, a few indexed mutual funds.

I'm surprised the sums are not larger, and it's also surprising to me that lines of credit were needed to obtain the float.

I'm just thinking there is something else going on here, but I'm drawing a blank right now.

9. I am also surprised that the settlements were not larger.

There may have been other money from other sources that the courts and the FBI do not yet know about. Were any other lawyers involved?
