Yes, I think The Big Dog misinterpreted Elliott Broidy's payment

I have explained that the information released by Stormy's lawyer is obviously incomplete as simple analysis of the deposits and withdrawals can easily confirm.
I mean that it is obvious, the chart shows withdrawals through September 2017 that SUBSTANTIALLY exceed the deposits as of September |

Can you show your math? Because I don't see that.
From the list, there was $1,242,420 in the account at the time of Cohen's 1,005,000 withdrawal. You do realize, I hope, that the arrows on the chart show whether money was put in or out, and it's source and destination? Broidy added $62,500 to the account....the rest of the expenditures on there are from him to Keith Davidson via REAG. ETA: Actually, a correction: should have been $1,112,420 when Cohen withdrew his cash (according to the chart). I forgot to take out the $130k for Stormy. |

What we're looking at is cash flow for a given period.
I think some are expecting it to "balance". That's a mistaken assumption. To which someone could just reply, "Ah, yes. I stand corrected". I won't hold my breath. |

It is kind of shocking with all the money laundering Trump has been involved in over the years that he and his employees are not better at it.

And you did not say WHY September flows were important. If the rest of the income occurred before the timeline, outflows in September are not important. If you start with a million, taking out a few hundred thousand as of September is unimportant. It's the end to end inflows and outflows.
ETA: I feel like I am debating a climate change denialist, picking two points most favorable to their argument on the global temperature timeline. |

Well this absolutely has got to be a first for me, I point out that a chart is missing information and someone vociferously disagrees with me by pointing out that there may be missing information.
Oy vey.... |

At this stage it's probably a given that the info on the EC LLC inflow/outflow of $$ is incomplete. And so haggling over details of figures is a fool's errand. Suffice it to say that the sources and timing are awfully suggestive of pay-to-play influence peddling.

Since Cohen isn't registered as a lobbyist, wouldn't it be illegal not just for him, but for AT&T to hire him in such a capacity. Their email said he was a "consultant" and that it wasn't for lobbying but that is absurd.

Again from Badscience: Liverpoolmiss has also pointed out that Muller interviewed Novartis about their links to Cohen and Essential in November - so we know he's ahead of the curve on this.

What I don't get is how TBD is still defending Donald Trump and attacking Avenatti? This latest information shows money flowing into a shell company from a pharmaceutical company and a Russian oligarch with close ties to Putin that paid off Daniels, paid a woman for an abortion who was impregnated by Broidy/Trump.
Also, does anyone know if Trump's doorman was paid off by Cohen or American Media? |

Gotta be honest, if I am Mueller, I might make a quick visit to Avenatti's office and tell him to tone down the thirsty grandstanding or perhaps they will have to take a deep dive into exactly where he got his information and under what circumstances.
Having this knucklehead running around like a self appointed prosecutor is not going to help Mueller's job. If I am working for Cohen? I start asking who is leaking to Thirsty. |

Maybe Avenatti was just doing the obvious and asking for the details of the entity that paid his client. The fact that it was a shell company with no obvious ties to Trump would probably be a bit of a red flag to someone who had read of Trump's money laundering.
It doesn't need links, just someone with a reasonable level of competence and a case to subonea the details of the shell company that paid off his client. I wouldn't be surprised if it transpires that Stormy Daniels' first lawyer had a conflict of interest. As has been said elsewhere - it is surprising that Cohen hadn't set up alternative shell companies but seemed to have been lazy/greedy/stupid and used one entity for a lot of slush funding. |
