A Playmate payoff, facilitated by Trump fixer Michael Cohen. An unseemly battle between foreign powers to influence D.C. All of it appears tied to the hacking of Elliott Broidy.

The FBI is investigating the hacking of scandal-dogged Republican operative Elliott Broidy, The Daily Beast has learned. Three sources familiar with the investigation said the FBI has questioned multiple witnesses about the hack, which stole thousands of emails and allegedly resulted in scores of stories that embarrassed Broidy and snarled his business dealings. The hack appears to have released a deluge of shocking stories about Broidy.
Broidy is a venture capitalist who has long been a key donor and financier of Republican candidates. During the 2016 election, he was vice chair of a the joint fundraising arm of the Republican National Committee (RNC) and the Trump campaign. He was also formerly a deputy finance chairman of the RNC.
And he isn’t new to scandal. In 2009, Broidy pleaded guilty to giving almost $1 million to New York state pension fund officials in exchange for his company receiving $250 million to manage, as Reuters detailed. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and did not serve any time in prison.
Years later, he found himself in the headlines again—this time as a result of email leak after email leak detailing his questionable behavior. One Wall Street Journal story—which Broidy’s people believe to be based on stolen emails—showed he agreed to pay $1.6 million in a non-disclosure agreement to Playboy Playmate Shera Bechard who became pregnant while having an affair with him. According to the Journal, the deal barred the Playboy Playmate from revealing she had ever been with Broidy. It was set for her to be paid in quarterly installments over two years.

Shame on republicans and their degenerate, criminal "values."
of Broidy, Cohen, Trump 'kids', trump appointees, 'the trump campaign', trump actual daily activities. Like a giant crime family, corrupt all different ways. Even when 'they' are not actively engaged in criminal stuff it seems pervasive. [Free associating here, to the Godfather Saga, "Paulie" speculating at the wedding, of stealing the bridal purse cash - automatically.

he took the hit for it to garner financial favors that were WAY more lucrative down the road.
1.6 million is pocket change for Broidy.
Man, I hope the FBI dives deep into this and it leads them back to a certain perverted, sex addict at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
