    You really have no idea what you are talking about, do you?

    I guess there are no @lawyers out there to pull a quick copypasta on.

    Not weighing in on the question here, because I have no idea, but I'm not sure how clear a distinction that is. Cohen was employed by the Trump Org 'til fairly recently. He left after the election, maybe? IIRC he did the Stormy NDA deal over Trump Org email. Was he also acting as Trump's personal attorney then? I guess he might have been, but it seems like the streams have crossed, so to speak.

    Whatever the case, I'll stick by my earlier guess that Cohen's move out of the Trump Org into "private" practice was just an attempt to shield various Trump business behind a/c privelege.

    Who somehow did very little legal work.

    By his own admission, he was "a fixer", a.k.a. a thug with a law degree, a hyper loyal attack dog kept around to do the dirty work. Calling Cohen an attorney is like calling Stormy Daniels a personal trainer.

    my layman opinion is $35K a month expense would turn up on Trumps tax returns. Somewhere somehow.
    but we don't know, do we ?
    Over $400K per year

    ... taking Trump at his word ?

    Donald Trump Could Have an Extraordinarily Successful Foreign Policy—if He Wanted One Slate.com

    The impending demise of the Iran deal is another example of one of the Trump presidency’s oddest dynamics. You may not like the Trump administration’s bullying style or its priorities—and I don’t, either. But still, the president’s aggressiveness, unpredictability, and lack of interest in foreign policy norms have actually opened up some opportunities to claim meaningful achievements in a number of issues and prove his critics wrong. But this possibility has been undermined by his rush to claim short-term political victories rather than long-term progress. Trump could have an effective foreign policy. It’s just not clear that’s what he actually wants.

    A European diplomat told me he spoke to McMaster just after the Syria strike and asked him: “Now you have leverage: What will you do?” McMaster stared back at him blankly, he told me. “For them, it was not leverage,” the diplomat said. “It was just a strike.”

    The Trump administration has had an extraordinarily successful foreign policy. If you think he hasn't then please describe what would make it so.

    I'm sure Cohen's invoices will be looked at closely.

    Why don't you tell me why you think the "policy" assuming he has one, has been so successful. Please do it without the hyperbolic adjectives and adverbs.

    Republicans spent so much energy hating Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton

    and look where it got them. They are now the most corrupt political party

    in American history that has chosen to protect a president who is obstructing

    justice to cover up his treason
    .

    Take a hard stance against tyranny. You can mock his twitter usage or interviews all you want. The results are the results and they far exceed anything that has been done in the last 16 years.

    deceived the American public about his health in the 2016 campaign and about

    engaging in a scheme to pay off a porn star to silence her during the campaign
