Trump lawyer 'paid by Ukraine' to arrange White House talks
By Paul Wood
BBC News, Kiev 23 May 2018

Donald Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, received a secret payment of at least $400,000 (£300,000) to fix talks between the Ukrainian president and President Trump, according to sources in Kiev close to those involved.

Boy, the BBC must be biased too.

I've been saying from day one:
money>>>influence

Cohen has a long history of Russian connections.

Manafort may be worse.

And Trump may not even be directly connected, but likely purposely hired people with proven track records of ties to Russia and Russian money for reasons that predate political aspirations.

It has been always thus. Too bad but money talks at all levels of our government down to the local level.

Short of revolution, the only ones who can change it (congress) are the ones benefiting by the largess.
