Seven months ago, Michael Cohen was a bit player in the vast cast of the Russiagate saga. No one predicted he would take center stage in the conflict between President Donald Trump and Special Counsel Robert Mueller. No one, that is, except WhoWhatWhy.
Last September we published an exhaustive look at Trump's personal attorney's professional and personal connections to powerful individuals from Russia and Ukraine. Seven months after WhoWhatWhy published this extraordinary investigation, FBI agents raided Cohen's home and office and seized his devices and records.
We connected the dots on topics only now surfacing in other media the full thrust of which is still missed by major news organizations:

Seven months after WhoWhatWhy published this extraordinary investigation, FBI agents raided Cohen's home and office and seized his devices and records.
We connected the dots on topics only now surfacing in other media the full thrust of which is still missed by major news organizations:
- Cohen's ties to infamous kleptocrats from across the former Soviet Union
- His close working relationship with Felix Sater, a convicted felon, Russian-financed real estate developer, and former Trump Organization employee
- His mysterious transformation from low-rate personal injury lawyer to mogul, as he and his family purchased an astonishing dozen luxury units in Trump-branded properties
- His rumored 2016 meeting with Putin associates in Prague
- His partnership with a Ukrainian immigrant to amass the single largest collection of coveted NYC taxi medallions
- How Cohen rose from obscurity via this unlikely amassment of pricey Trump real estate, to win Trump's personal attention and a position as the protector of Trump's interests and secrets. Only because of this unusual path to the top did Cohen arrive in a position to potentially determine Trump's own fate
