Michael Cohen Investigation

[jimmyjazz 46002]

Avenatti has taken a pretty strong turn from "attorney for a porn star" to "white knight".  I don't disapprove, but he's definitely not making friends.

I don't know about that.  The way he's going Avenatti will never have to buy another drink in his life.  He just needs to steer clear of the ones containing nerve agents.

There are several legitimate companies who have cut big checks to Cohen. What this tells me is that it is business as usual for this type of shit to happen. It’s only coming to light because of the lawsuit

Squire Patton Boggs now implicated in money flow with  Cohen's Essential Consultants LLC. 

The directionality of flow is not defined at this time.  I eagerly await SPB's full clarification.

Clients of Squire Patton Boggs:

 Cambridge Analytica and Russian energy giant Gazprom.

Details of cash flow between Cohen's pop up LLC and SPB, and for what, are destined to come out.

Stormy had to chose Avenatti to be her attorney.

A decision that is currently exposing corruption at the highest levels of government and business.

Have to give the whore credit too.

All this could have gone very badly for her and kind of has since everyone calls her a whore.  But she's got a good sense of humor and a tough cookie persona. Plus nice looks and a big rack. She may have started out wanting to bank as much as she could but I think she genuinely wants to help put Trump's corruption into the light of day.

Or she wants to help her old friend Trump by providing drama and distraction for the Trump Reality Show. Hello ratings!

Yeah, one thing we need to probably pick up from all this shiznit is that it's in large part business as usual, writ large in comic sans by Teh Donald.  He's certainly not smart enough to have originated any of it, he's just doing it a clumsier, more outsized fashion.

Excellent post.

Weaknesses in a system are exposed when someone clumsy and sloppy comes in to take advantage of them. So...we owe him for that. For being the greediest, bull-in-a-China-shop thief we can imagine.

The irony is that by being SO BAD at “draining the swamp”...MAYBE we’ll end up with evidence so glaring that we can’t help but eventually...drain the swamp?

You guys are funny, assuming I was using the term whore derogatorily.

Right. You meant "whore" in the complimentary sense. As in, "Why mother, you look as lovely as a whore."

Prostitution and pornography are separate enterprises. It's not accurate to call a porn star a whore. It just reflects a value judgment on your part. It suggests some possible sexual repression.

Do you feel shame when you masturbate? When you were younger, did you think less of your partner after having sex with them? Do you now? Do you think it's okay for a man to have had many sexual partners but if a woman has then it makes her a slut?

This is an interesting article, and the end especially since it shows ties to Guiliani and a lawyer that followed him from Bracewell to the law firm he just recently left.

Spoiler

Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, Squire Patton Boggs, and the U.K. firm Gunnercooke are among a growing line-up of legal advisers involved in the scandal engulfing Cambridge Analytica, the political consulting firm facing intense scrutiny over Facebook data harvesting.

The London-based firm, which last week suspended CEO Alexander Nix after he was caught on film by Channel 4 News discussing unscrupulous political campaigning tactics, is being advised by both the U.S. firm Squire Patton Boggs and “new model“ U.K. law firm Gunnercooke, which was founded in 2010.

Facebook, meanwhile, has brought in Gibson Dunn for advice on the scandal, which broke earlier this month when ex-Cambridge Analytica employee Christopher Wylie revealed that personal information about tens of millions of Facebook users had been harvested via a personality quiz app and shared with Cambridge Analytica without proper authorization.

Gibson Dunn litigator Orin Snyder is taking a lead role for his firm, which has longstanding ties to Facebook. The U.S. law firm advised on its 2011 settlement with the Federal Trade Commission over its handling of user data, with a team including partner Ashlie Beringer, who is now deputy general counsel at Facebook.

Gunnercooke litigation partners David Herbert and Fergus Buckley are advising both Cambridge Analytica and Facebook on efforts to confirm the deletion of the data trove, which was used by Cambridge Analytica to assist Donald Trump’s U.S. presidential election campaign.

A Gunnercooke spokesperson confirmed to Legal Week, The American Lawyer’s sibling publication in London, that Cambridge Analytica and Facebook are longstanding clients of Buckley, who joined the firm in 2016 from Fladgate, and that in recent years he has worked with Facebook to “address its concerns about the possible misuse of data.” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has stated that Cambridge Analytica has agreed to a forensic audit to confirm it has deleted all “improperly acquired” data.

The Gunnercooke spokesperson added that the firm is also advising Cambridge Analytica and its parent company, SCL Group, in relation to “various breaches of legal undertakings” given to SCL by Wylie, as well as working to address allegations made by media organizations including The New York Times, The Guardian, The Observer and Channel 4 News.

Squire Patton Boggs is advising Cambridge Analytica on the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) investigation into its use of data, as well as allegations made against the company by various news outlets. The ICO is an independent authority set up in the U.K. to uphold public information rights.

Squire Patton Boggs’ London-based litigation director Tim Lowles reportedly acted for the company last year in relation to stories published by The Observer, which linked the company to the Brexit campaign group Leave.EU. The firm has not responded to requests for comment.

The focus of the scandal has returned to Brexit in recent days, with The Guardian publishing new allegations of Cambridge Analytica’s connections to the “Vote Leave” campaign based on claims by former Brexit campaigner Shahmir Sanni. Tamsin Allen, head of media and information law at the London firm Bindmans, is advising both Sanni and Wylie.

On March 23, the ICO obtained a warrant to search Cambridge Analytica’s London offices, with Ben Summers, a barrister with Three Raymond Buildings, putting forward the ICO’s case.

Before the warrant was granted, Damian Collins, a member of Parliament and the chair of the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee investigating the scandal, tweeted that lawyers acting on behalf of Facebook had been in the offices of Cambridge Analytica “until they were told to stand down by the Information Commissioner.”

In a related development, Cambridge Analytica is also facing a High Court lawsuit from a U.S. professor, David Carroll, who is suing under Britain’s data protection act to get all his data back from Cambridge Analytica.

He is being represented by privacy and data partner Ravi Naik of London criminal defense firm ITN Solicitors, alongside Dinah Rose QC of Blackstone Chambers, Ben Jaffey QC of Blackstone Chambers and Julianne Kerr Morrison of Monckton Chambers.

Cambridge Analytica, which suspended Nix last week after Channel 4 News aired undercover footage of him discussing the company’s use of bribes, ex-spies, and sex workers, has appointed Julian Malins QC of Malins Chambers to lead an independent investigation into Nix’s comments, which the company has said “do not represent the values or operations of the firm.”

Other firms connected to Cambridge Analytica in the past include the U.S. law firm Bracewell, which in 2014 advised Nix and the company’s founders, Steve Bannon and Robert Mercer, that as a foreign national, Nix would have to recuse himself “from substantive management” of any clients involved in U.S. elections.

The firm’s role was revealed in a memo—tweeted by Wylie—which was authored by Bracewell partner Lawrence Levy, who has since followed former name partner and ex-New York mayor Rudy Giuliani to Greenberg Traurig.

Something is fixing to drop. CSpan has a video cam that was running on Trump tower that day, and Avenatti used screen grabs to show that Cohen showed up that day. haha, something that innocent helps prove a crime? What would he have brought him? Or was he recording something significant?  Avenatti is fucking scary good.

The thing is, I doubt someone who takes dick and sucks cock in front of a camera - and who takes money for it with the full realization that the film will be distributed to hundreds of thousands to millions of viewers - is going to be the slightest bit distressed at the use of the word 'whore'.  

But as a non-pejorative and universally accepted factual descriptor, someone who has sex in exchange for money with other people is - ya know - a whore.   But whore has a long pejorative history, so 'adult actress' seems like a better term in polite society.    But this is the home base for refugees from Shaggy, so talking about the whore seems more appropriate.

Avenatti was warning corporations/people to come forward and confess, so he must have payment history is my guess.

Somebody identified the bald guy they think, Ahmed Al-Rumaihi of Qatar. Not sure that this is related to him but click the tweet to see the tweet string.

This is buried in the string.

Edited May 13, 2018 by burntorangebongos

[burntorangebongos 10750]

part of the article above says:

In a suit against his former investors, Kwatinetz alleged in a sworn declaration that Ahmed Al-Rumaihi, who he claims failed to fully deliver on more than $20 million in investment and sponsorship funding for the league, asked him during a January hike in Southern California to connect him with Bannon, who is friend of Kwatinetz’s. From Kwatinetz’s sworn declaration:

During the hike, Mr. Al-Rumaihi stated to me that he wanted me to convey a message from the Qatari Government to Steve Bannon.

Mr. Al-Rumaihi requested I set up a meeting between him, the Qatari government, and Steve Bannon, and to tell Steve Bannon that Qatar would underwrite all of political efforts in return for his support.   

At this point, Kwatinetz says he told Al-Rumaihi that neither he nor Bannon would “ever take, or even entertain the concept, of a bribe of any kind.”

Kwatinetz’s declaration continued:

Mr. Al-Rumaihi laughed and then stated to me that I shouldn’t be naive, that so many Washington politicians take our money, and stated “do you think [Michael] Flynn turned down our money?”

==============

Could this be the day that he bribed Flynn and Cohen was there and recorded it? That is too fucking crazy and stupid, no wai!

There’s a probability Flynn was under surveillance too at this time, and maybe not by the United States IC.

Flynn was named National Security Adviser about a month prior to this December meeting.

By December, there was a shitload of heat on him from several directions.
