Michael Avanetti hinted that the $1.6M payment Cohen arranged might not be for Broidy!!! Avanetti is such a player!
Attorney Michael Avenatti hints $1.6 million abortion payout was for Trump — not GOP donor
Attorney Michael Avenatti appeared Thursday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” where he gave a wide-ranging interview on the lawsuit against the president and a related criminal investigation of Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen — and he said reporting on the case had missed an important detail.
“So, Mika, you are familiar with the fact that a week ago, Judge (Kimba) Wood ordered Michael Cohen’s attorneys to disclose all of his clients for the last three years,” Avenatti said, “and there were three clients listed — three clients listed. Do you recall which three?”
Brzezinski listed Trump, Fox News host Sean Hannity and Republican donor Elliott Broidy — but Avenatti said she was making the same mistake everyone else had.
“No, no, no,” he said. “Mr. Trump, the Trump organization and Sean Hannity. Mr. Broidy was not disclosed in open court as one of Michael Cohen’s clients.”
Co-host Joe Scarborough asked the attorney what that meant.
“I think at some point we are going to find out, if in fact, the client in connection with the ($1.6 million) settlement was, in fact, Mr. Broidy. I’m going to leave it at that.”
Hmmm. That is an interesting point. I hadn't noticed that. Hmmmmm. So Trump possibly ordered a woman to get an abortion and paid her $1.6 million to do so? That's right in character for him, especially since he doesn't like to use protection when screwing porn stars and Playboy bunnies.

Now the SDNY is withdrawing on a taint team and is making their own suggestions for a special master.
With these revelations, there is a very narrow view of what can be considered privileged. It shouldn't take long for a special master to isolate those documents.

How so?
I didn't watch it but this definitely seems like throwing him under the bus:
“Michael would represent me and represent me on some things. He represents me… like with this crazy Stormy Daniels deal, he represented me,” Trump said, adding he has many lawyers working for him and that from what he sees, Cohen did “absolutely nothing wrong.”
“They why is he pleading the fifth?” co-host Ainsley Earhardt asked.
“Because he’s got other things. He’s got businesses. And from what I understand they’re looking at his businesses,” Trump responded. “I have nothing to do with his business, I can tell you.”
Oh shit. Did trump not say he knew nothing about Stormy on AF one the other day? Also, if Cohen represents very little what the hell trump's attorney doing asking for reviewing privilege for all materials seized? Did he talk to his attorneys before this interview...
I love the the question “They why is he pleading the fifth?” after trump claiming Cohen did “absolutely nothing wrong.”

He said he talked to Cohen all of the time and only a small part of it was "legal' related. He undermined Cohen's ability to cover seized material with attorney-client privilege.

Trump said only “a tiny fraction” of his interactions with Cohen had to do with legal work. Does that mean only “a tiny fraction” of the seized documents are protected by attorney client privilege?

sorry, I didn't see this. Did anyone there ask about the lying?Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Trump just admitted that Cohen represented him in the Stormy Daniels deal.
I thought he didn't have an affair and didn't know about the deal.
Ooops.
