What's the deal with this tweet from Avenatti?
Here's a link to his notes about Cohen. It's short, speculative and interesting especially if you think trump and his crew are basic run of the mill criminals playing on a big stage. https://www.dropbox.com/s/pskgpwr15r...mmary.pdf?dl=0Quote:
After significant investigation, we have discovered that Mr. Trump’s atty Mr. Cohen received approximately $500,000 in the mos. after the election from a company controlled by a Russian Oligarc with close ties to Mr. Putin. These monies may have reimbursed the $130k payment.
We are way too slow in reacting to this stuff. The news comes out in drips and each drip is a little worse than previously thought.Quote:

“In a small number of states, Russian-affiliated cyber actors were able to gain access to restricted elements of election infrastructure,” the report states. “In a small number of states, these cyber actors were in a position to, at a minimum, alter or delete voter registration data; however, they did not appear to be in a position to manipulate individual votes or aggregate vote totals.”
The committee also found, through its investigation, that Russia conducted intelligence gathering and other “intelligence-related activities” before the 2016 vote likely in preparation for discrediting the integrity of the U.S. voting process. The report provides few details on this activity, or an explanation of why the committee came to the conclusion about the motive behind it.
Because the committee’s findings are based on information from the states, the report emphasizes that it is possible more states were attacked but that the activity was not detected — echoing a point made by a top Homeland Security official just last month.
