I'm catching up on the Cohen Sentencing Memorandum and saw section noting he provided NYAG documents concerning a separate open inquiry

This is speculation - perhaps it's related to NYAG inquiry into Cohen's ex-business partner Taxi King Evgeny Freidman
assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5348…
Cohen's ex business partner “Taxi King” Evgeny Freidman pleaded guilty to fraud in May 2018
ag.ny.gov/press-release/…
There's a note that "The Attorney General’s Taxpayer Protection Bureau is conducting an ongoing parallel civil investigation into Mr. Freidman’s conduct"
ag.ny.gov/press-release/…

With speculation about the arrest of Paul Whelan as a ploy for a swap with Maria Butina - another name to keep an eye on is Konstantin Yaroshenko - a Russian pilot sentenced to 20 yrs in US jail related to cocaine smuggling with Viktor Bout - Yaroshenko has been a focus for Putin
Now that Russia's charged a US citizen, who are the bargaining chips?

Leonid Teyf, a Russian living in North Carolina, who was accused with his wife of a murder-for-hire plot and $150 million kickback scheme, is now reported by Novaya Gazeta to have ties to Yevgeny Prigozhin who was indicted by Mueller for election tampering
newsobserver.com/news/local/art…
Here's original article that describes how Leonid Teyf was the Deputy Director of Voentorg, a company which contracted with Russia’s Ministry of Defense - and he provided Prigozhin with outsourcing contracts for the supply of power to army units

SDNY Cohen sentencing memorandum is a bombshell. The President of the United States is again named as an unindicted co-conspirator. Prosecutors in the SDNY, independent of the Special Counsel, believe Trump participated in a felony that played a substantial role in his election.
Further information in Mueller’s sentencing memo shows facts & evidence that indicate Russian involvement with the Trump campaign potentially lead to obstruction of justice. “Political synergy” sounds quite a lot like collusion. wapo.st/2QBlPsb
As the walls close in on Trump, risk is high that he will become more desperate & destructive & potentially more damaging. I will demand AG nominee William Barr commit to unequivocally protecting the integrity & independence of the Special Counsel.

1. I have been reading the Cohen sentencing memorandum, thinking "Yeah, ok...yeah, ok.." Not much of a reaction. Clearly Cohen, Trump et. al. are smarmy as hell.

Then...OMIGOD! Trump Organization $ laundering, illegal campaign contributions, done in coordination with...someone..
2...it is jaw dropping. If Trump knew ANYTHING about this (which Cohen had said he does) he must not only be impeached, he must go to prison.

Cohen borrowed $130,000 from his HELOC, washed it through a bogus corporation, paid Stormy Daniels. Ok, knew that. THEN, he goes back....
3...to the Trump Organization, submits a bill for CAMPAIGN expenses. He also submitted a $50,000 bill for campaign related IT expenses. The company then pays him $180,000, rounds it up so he breaks even on taxes (to $360,000), THEN kicks in a $60,000 bonus for $420,000. To....

#KEYTHOUGHTS: Some things to note on Michael Cohen's guilty plea today for lying to Congress about his efforts to negotiate a Trump Tower Moscow deal w/ Russia during 2016.

1/ It's no coincidence that this comes TWO DAYS before Trump's next scheduled meeting w/ Putin at the G20.
2/ This new move by Mueller is perfectly-orchestrated. This isn't only about lying to Congress and cooperation...

It directly IMPLICATES Trump himself...and his children.

According to Cohen, he gave each of them regular briefings throughout the process.
3/ Cohen admits (with CORROBORATION thru documentary evidence seized by the FBI and Mueller) that Moscow Project negotiations lasted thru JUNE 2016.

That's months after the timeline Trump, Cohen, and those around them, have claimed.

New #QAnon 1666.

FVEY will be relevant going forward, especially the role of UK in #Spygate.

We're approaching [RR's] deadline to turn over docs or face consequences.

#Q says they have the server, so they have it all.

New #QAnon 1667.

Normally, intelligence passed from FVEY comes through an official channel, but Nunes says they used only unofficial channels.

Why? To hide their crimes from prying eyes?
