Moving the Bar on Weirdness
So during the presidential campaign, Michael Cohen paid a guy named John Gauger to rig online polls in Donald Trump’s favor.
Gauger
John Gauger is the chief information officer at Liberty University. You know, that Christian University founded by Jerry Faldwell and now run by his son. With that in mind, the story becomes fun.
When Gauger goes to Cohen’s Trump Organization office to collect the promised $50,000 payment, weird things happen …
In his Trump Organization office, Mr. Cohen surprised the man, John Gauger, by giving him a blue Walmart bag containing between $12,000 and $13,000 in cash and, randomly, a boxing glove that Mr. Cohen said had been worn by a Brazilian mixed-martial arts fighter, Mr. Gauger said.
A blue Walmart bag? Not even a Big Mac box?
So, Gauger billed the Trump Organization for the rest of the $50,000. To this day, he has never been paid, but that’s not weird at all.
Gauger also did some favors for Cohen, and that was indeed weird.
In addition, Gauger allegedly set up a Twitter account for Michael Cohen that was named, WomenForCohen. The account, which is still active, describes itself as, “Women who love and support Michael Cohen. Strong, pit bull, sex symbol, no nonsense, business oriented, and ready to make a difference!”
Oh dear. But, hey, you have to admire Cohen’s restraint in not claiming a large bulge in his britches.
The Twitter account mainly retweets Cohen and says he’s brilliant. It is important to note that no women were involved in the making of this Twitter account.
Goodness sake. These men were running the damn country.
