Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

Gotta Pay The Mob To Play With The Mob


It's come to light that Michael Cohen's Essential Consultants LLC has received millions of dollars from American, Swiss and Korean businesses, including a New York City "investment" firm with very close ties to a Russian billionaire oligarch.  Cohen's shell company, formed just before the 2016 election, has no office, no website, no employees and no history.  It's just Michael Cohen, period.

Swiss pharma giant Novartis paid Cohen $1.2 million.  AT&T paid him $600,000, Korean Aerospace paid him $150,000, and the Russian-connected Columbus Nova paid him $500,000.

So why would these companies cough up millions for the consulting "expertise" of a second-rate fixer who deals in real estate, personal injury and the NYC taxicab business?

It's pay-to-play, baby!  It's a slush fund for Trump.  It's "access" to Trump.  It's all in the worst traditions of the Manhattan Mob, circa 1985.  That's Trump and Cohen, bottom line -- they're mobsters.  They're both filthy as hell, as is everything and everybody in the fascist fake president's universe -- a regular Van Allen Garbage Belt orbiting a stinking, orange-haired Planet of Shit.
