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

Play for pay..simple as that, I guess:


"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."

The disclosure came after an attorney representing the adult-film actress who says she had an affair with Trump released a summary of bank transactions that he says shows payments from various companies to a company controlled by Cohen.

That lawyer, Michael Avenatti, said the transactions suggest that Cohen was "selling access to the President of the United States." Cohen, his attorney and the White House did not respond to a request for comment."

That's what lobbyists do, moron.

So now Cohen is a lobbyist?

Yeah. So?

Is Cohen registered as a lobbyist? So far all the companies have come out and said Cohen didn't provide anything he supposedly promised.

Since when do you have to "register" to exercise your First Amendment rights?

That sounds like a violation of the First Amendment.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
​

Lobbying falls under the description "to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

No, that's the leftwing conception of "drain the swamp." Getting rid of loathsome characters like Comey, Rosenstein, McCabe, Brennan, Yates and Clapper is draining the swamp.

No, they appear to be laws that require you to jump through hoops merely to talk to your elected representative. Anyone can donate money to a candidate at any time, so long as it's below a specified amount.

No, that's the leftwing conception of "drain the swamp." Getting rid of loathsome characters like Comey, Rosenstein, McCabe, Brennan, Yates and Clapper is draining the swamp.

No, it isn't. It was literally one of the main things Trump ran on.

"President Trump began work on one of his signature campaign promises on Saturday by signing an executive order that banned administration officials from lobbying for five years after they leave office, and prohibits them from lobbying for foreign entities. After months of second-guessing by media outlets and even Trump’s own advisors, it looks like Washington’s influence industry could be in for some real reforms."

Trump's lobbying ban was step towards 'draining the swamp'
