Drug giant official: Cohen was 'promising access' after Trump election

[ABikerSailor]

You're right.....................lobbyists are nothing new nor are they illegal.

However...................operating as a lobbyist without being registered as one IS illegal.

He hasn't lobbied anyone at this point, moron.

They already know he was trying to sell access to Trump which is illegal. And, they are also looking into those deals to see if he actually did operate as a lobbyist or not. Either way, he was trying to get rich off of Trump's coat tails. And that at a minimum, is unethical.

He sold his advice, which is perfectly legal. Unless he was charging them specifically for speaking to Trump, he isn't lobbying.

Getting rich off the coatails of a successful politician is as common in Washington DC as lying.

Actually, he told AT and T that he could influence Trump to get their merger with Time-Warner approved. That is lobbying.

It doesn't matter what he told them. Until he actually does it, he isn't lobbying.

Actually, it does matter what he told them. He promised that he could influence Trump on the merger, and that is why they paid him the money. That is lobbying at it's core, and Cohen wasn't registered as one, even though he misrepresented himself to all those companies as having access.

Oh, shock! Stop the press! Surely this has never happened before! Someone who was close to a presidential candidate promising access if he won! Say it ain't so!

Hmmmm, yeah, if he actually did it. I can promise you I'm going to build a bridge between New York and London. That doesn't mean there is now a bridge between New York and London.

You really are too fucking stupid to understand the difference between promises and actions, aren't you?

Even if Torquemada's panty sniffing has revealed dirt - what in the FUCK does this have to with "Russian Collusion?"

Oh, that's right - this is a witch hunt, it doesn't need to be in any way related to the subject of the investigation...

It's a fuzzy line.

Torquemada is attacking procedural infractions. This means the Communists are up to something, they are seeking to distract from something that will further expose them.

We KNOW that Obama and Clinton engaged in Treason. We KNOW Obama placed a spy in the transition team of the President elect. We know the job of this spy was to support the attempted coup d'etat that the Stalinist democrats are currently engaged in.

My guess is that Torquemada is flailing wildly with these procedural infractions, and the indictment of companies that didn't exist, in an attempt to run cover for some very serious evidence that the little Goebbels of the MSM can't wash away from the traitors.

Not sure what it is yet, but this is the MO of the Stalinists.
