Columbus Nova's lawyer, Richard Owens, said in a statement the company is "solely owned and controlled by Americans." He said that after Trump's inauguration in January 2017, the company hired Cohen as a business consultant "regarding potential sources of capital and potential investments in real estate and other ventures," but that it had nothing to do with Vekselberg. "Neither Viktor Vekselberg nor anyone else, other than Columbus Nova's owners, were involved in the decision to hire Cohen or provided funding for his engagement," he said.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, AT&T has confirmed, uh, the payments. Novartis has confirmed, uh, the payments. Columbus Nova has confirmed the payments, although they said it had nothing to do with Russia. What is illegal, uhhh, about that? Michael Cohen, attorney for the president, close to the president, sets up a firm in Washington, D.C., gives strategic consulting advice. What’s wrong with that?
AVENATTI: Each company has given a different reason for retaining Michael Cohen — real estate, business consulting, health care consulting, the list goes on and on. Michael Cohen —
STEPHANOPOULOS: Okay. But nothing wrong with any of that.
AVENATTI: We don’t know where this ends, but it doesn’t smell right.
So there you have it folks, it just doesn't smell right to the guy who owes 5 million dollars to the IRS.

It's not about legalities any more.
It's about making up enough stuff to force out a legally sitting president.
This is a coup d'état.

Good morning Emin just called and asked me to contact you with something very interesting. The Crown prosecutor of Russia met with his father Aras this morning and in their meeting offered to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father. This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump - helped along by Aras and Emin. What do you think is the best way to handle this information and would you be able to speak to Emin about it directly? I can also send this info to your father via Rhona, but it is ultra sensitive so wanted to send to you first. Best Rob Goldstone
Come on dude. ATT&T, Noavartis, and others have also hired Cohen. They must be in cahoots with the Russians and the President as well. The whole premise is absurd to begin with my man.
I love how all of you are so capable of compartmentalizing all this to avoid acknowledging that Michael Cohen was at the very least, telling these companies that he could provide access to Trump and taking millions of dollars for it.

Yawn. You should stop posting that, it proves nothing and has no merits.

That alone proves the collusion narrative.. it is literally spelled out word for word in trumps son’s emails..
B) I’m not seeing where anything here was debunked..
