3. Here's some tidbits on FIL Fima:

Father-in-law of Trump lawyer Michael Cohen reportedly loaned at least $20 million to Chicago cab mogul mentioned in FBI search warrants for Cohen

Fima Shusterman, father-in-law of President Donald Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen, reportedly loaned at least $20 million to a Chicago taxicab mogul.

That cab operator, Yasya Shtayner, and her husband Semyon, are reportedly mentioned in search warrants that were used to raid Cohen's residence and office last week in New York City.

The articles I’ve seen on Cohen’s father-in-law, Fima Shusterman, only mention his taxi business - but google reveals that he also runs, or ran, a real estate business...there are no dates connected to these links, and virtually no info (grrrr) ...the outfit is simply called “Shusterman Fima”...

He is also mentioned in the Steele Dossier (4th bullet point down, sorry for fuzzy screenshot)

4. Thanks.

There's so much entanglement. It's like one of those clustered spiderwebs that is so 3D thick that you'd need a machete to cut into it.

5. Cohen's wife allegedly has involvement, too

Some of Cohen's behavior has been explained as trying to protect his wife from charges.
