    And probably Trump as well. Novartis and AT&T weren't buying Cohen's advice.

    It's amazing how Avenatti got all that banking information. NBC, CNBC, and NY Times have confirmed most if not all of it.

    AT&T paying Cohen for advice about Trump for their antitrust case is straight up bribery.

    I've seen speculation that it came from the Treasury, specifically from reports by banks of suspicious transactions. Since the information is about more than one bank, it's unlikely the info came from the banks, so that makes Treasury the likely source. Of course it could be from one of the investigations also.

    That Russian link is particularly bad because the man in charge has been put on the sanctions list.

    As far as where the info came from, I have no idea. Most banks and even treasury would only have routing numbers not names of the institutions behind the routing numbers like AT&T or Novartis.

    Also reportedly took a large payout from AT&T just prior to Pai taking over the FCC.

    Novartis official: Michael Cohen was 'promising access' after Trump election

    Cohen reached out to the drug giant after the election, a senior Novartis official said

    President Donald Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, contacted the drug giant Novartis after the 2016 election "promising access" to the new administration, and Special Counsel Robert Mueller later requested information from the company about the offer, a senior official inside Novartis told NBC News on Wednesday.

    "He [Cohen] contacted us after the new administration was in place," the official said. "He was promising access to the new administration." Novartis then signed a one-year, $1.2 million contract with Cohen.

    Except it’s not fake at all.
    Pay to play —> hate it when the Clintons are suspected of it, make excuses when it’s obvious that Trump does it.

    Novartis admitted they payed Cohen for access to Trumps administration. Holy moly - anyone who has complained about the clintons perceived pay to play schemes and doesn’t complain about Trump and Cohen is completely biased and unwilling to take their blinders off.

    So ATT and Novartis are lying? They didn't actually pay money to Cohen?

    Except the Clintons used to the money to have people killed.

    Cohen used the money to help needy children. Maris has even nominated him for a Nobel Peace Prize.
