Long time lurker (Halloween night) 1st time poster and did a DIG. Today Michael Cohen pleaded guilty, one of those charges he plead guilty to one count of willfully causing an unlawful corporate campaign contribution and one count of making an excessive campaign contribution to make payments “for (the) principal purpose of influencing (the) election” at the direction of a candidate for federal office. He did not give the candidate’s name (Very Important)
Now that being said Michael Cohen also sold 4 properties IN CASH PURCHASE from 2011-14 with help through a man named Herbert Chaves.This is an excerpt from his (Cohen's) Wikipedia with my own DIG theory info thrown in. "Cohen has been involved in real estate ventures in Manhattan, including buying and selling four apartment buildings between 2011 and 2014. The total purchase price of the four buildings was $11 million and the total sales price was $32 million. Cohen sold the four properties at above their assessed values, in all-cash transactions, to LLCs owned by persons whose identities are not public. After this was reported by McClatchy DC in October 2017 https://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/congress/article180701541.html Cohen said that all four properties were purchased by an American-owned "New York real estate family fund" (Clinton Foundation perhaps?) that paid cash for the properties in order to obtain a tax deferred (Section 1031) exchange but did not specifically identify the buyer. NOTABLE: in 2013 Chelsea Clinton and her husband purchased a Condo at Madison square park for 10.5 Million through the firm "Douglas Elliman" where Herbert Chaves is/was a partner and could possibly be the "middle man". The media ate up the Clinton Condo purchase like you would not believe.https://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/real-estate/chelsea-clinton-buys-10-5-million-article-1.1288710
