Appearing on MSNBC on Saturday morning, the attorney for adult film star Stormy Daniels called for an investigation to highly influential Washington D.C. law firm over their contacts with President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, Micheal Cohen.
[...]
Avenatti pointed the finger at the law firm of Squire Patton Boggs, with whom Cohen reportedly held meetings at the same time he was lining up clients with promises of influence with Trump.
Addressing Cohen’s post-election cash windfall, Avenatti suggested another line of inquiry for special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigators.
[...]
“Shortly after the election, Michael Cohen forms a relationship with a very well known law firm in Washington, D.C.. by the name of Patton Boggs. And Patton Boggs has a long history of lobbying and being involved between companies and the U.S. government, that’s a very unusual relationship to have been formed right after the election.”
[...]
“Some of us have experience with Patton Boggs, I know I do. It’s a very reputable law firm — some of those people are highly educated –a lot of experience, so it’s a very unusual relationship. Why did Patton Boggs and Michael Cohen come together? What did Michael Cohen sell to Patton Boggs as it related to the idea that they were going to allow Michael Cohen come to the law firm?”
“It’s clear to me what he sold them,” he added. “What he sold them was a book of clients, a book of corporations or individuals that had already retained him for access to the U.S. president. That needs to be the next inquiry; what did Patton Boggs know, and when did they know it? Did they know that Michael Cohen was lobbying? Did they not know it?”
[...]
“What I’m going to say is, if folks want to continue to hide this stuff and cover it up, I think it’s fantastic. because I’m going to out them, okay?” he stated. “We’re going to out them, bring all of this stuff to light. So if you’re out there and you have stuff relating to your relationships with Michael Cohen that you have a reasonable doubt is going to come out, you should be concerned, because they are going to come out. You better come clean with the American people. You better try to get out in front of this, period.”
Raw Story
I hope Avenatti has law partners and body guards.
