NEW: Squire Patton Boggs — which had a “strategic partnership” with Michael Cohen — tells me Cohen’s work through Essential Consultants LLC was a side hustle. huffingtonpost.com/entry/michael-…
“We have we never paid any money to Essential Consultants LLC and we’ve never performed work for any of the identified entities as a result of our past arrangement with Cohen.”

huffingtonpost.com/entry/michael-…
Federal prosecutors said Squire Patton Boggs was paying Michael Cohen a $500K per year “alliance fee” but he only “introduced a sum total of five clients to the firm,” per federal prosecutors. huffingtonpost.com/entry/michael-…
One of the clients that Cohen helped Squire Patton Boggs land? A company with close ties to Jared Kushner’s family business. wsj.com/articles/trump…
There are four unidentified clients that Cohen referred to Squire Patton Boggs. The firm won’t identify them, but says tells me they handled “routine legal matters” for them. huffingtonpost.com/entry/michael-…

So Chris Cuomo got Cohen'd, which essentially confirmed a story you already knew about anyway.

Who's next?
"It was Michael Cohen's habit for many years to record conversations in lieu of taking notes."

If I'd ever spoken to Cohen about anything, I'd start thinking back to the things I've said. There are more tapes and they could be from any time.

Michael Cohen founded the organisation Resolution Consultants LLC on September 30, 2016.

What I'm saying is this new recording may well be evidence of Trump committing a crime. In the final stretch of a presidential campaign, he explicitly authorized what was almost certainly a payoff by check via a shell corporation that would constitute a violation of election law.
2/ Even if Trump didn't think Cohen was would use Essential Consultants, LLC, if Cohen confirms his practice was not to say "payoff for sex" when he wrote checks from his own accounts to help Trump kill embarrassing stories, there's nothing exculpatory about Trump's check remark.
3/ This sounds like a conspiracy to violate election laws to me. I think Haberman trying to minimize the story, despite it being her story, by saying this is the only tape out there (and crediting Giuliani's odd "exculpatory" claim) is slowing down people realizing what this is.

💥#MichaelCohen ⚡️⚡️⚡️🥁 Thread on Michael #Cohen’s (aka Michael Hastings) ties with the USSR-born oligarchs, criminals, politicians. Missing/overlooked links plus Russian/Ukrainian sources. #CohenRaid #CohenFBIRaid #CohenRaids #MichaelCohenRaid
Note: A common misconception: Most of Cohen's USSR-born associates are Russian speakers of pro-Russian view. Emigrated in 70-80s when Ukraine was a part of the USSR. Referring to them as “Ukrainians” is misleading. Ukraine is under a hybrid war attack by Russia.
1. Cohen partnered with USSR-born “taxi kings” with a history of felony, fraud, tax evasion and some known for ties with the Kremlin circles.

🔥Eric- please see this thread👇Cohen used $ from an LLC w prominent Republican on the board to pay Stormy
💥 Cohen tried to hide trail by using Essential Consultants to make payment to Stormy seem like a legit “healthcare company”. 💰came from 4C- HealthCare Pays where he was on the board💥
🔥Essential Consultants LLC was set up by Michael Cohen October 17, 2016- right before the election - to pay Stormy and make it look like it was a health company so he could use funds out of 4C Health Solutions where he is in the Board along w PROMINENT REPUBLICANS 🔥
