Michael Cohen office raided by FBI

[TheProgressivePatriot]

Does this mean we won’t be getting any threads today about how rhe Russia investigation is long over and that it’s actually Obama and Hillary that have been under investigation?

the russia investigation is long over. I'm happy to acknowledge that. this has nothing to do with russia, so keep it in perspective please.

This does not mean that the Russian investigation is over by a long shot. Mueller can walk and crew gum at the same time

Rod Rosenstein’s Letter Appointing Mueller Special Counsel

no he can't. every time we said something about the dossier you all said stop interfering in the Mueller investigation. so no, no he can't you told us all so.

Look BOZO's.......

If Trump is guilty of something....FINE.....pay the price.....

But JUSTICE should be applied equally. Don't attack Conservatives and look the other way for Liberals.

And don't make shit up. To a significant extent, it clearly appears the Left simply wants to stop the Right.....PERIOD....with little regard to the law.

Trump is no more guilty of ANYTHING that the Left isn't equally or more guilty of whether you think so or not.

Funny how you demand that Liberals not make shit up- when Trump does that every day.

We will know whether Trump is guilty of something when the investigation is complete.

Just like we knew whether Clinton was guilty of something when the Whitewater investigation was complete.

Who knows- it may turn out that Trump is as guilty as Clinton was.

Let's see....a BJ in the Library compared to conspiring with our greatest foreign adversary to cheat in a national election....which is more serious?

DECISIONS....DECISIONS....

Nothing they find on Trump can be used due to attorney client privilege

Not on "criminal" conduct.

Attorney-client privilege ends when the lawyer starts breaking the law.

Trump/Cohen better call Saul

What law did Cohen break? You know he hasn't been charged with any crime.

Prosecutors would love to be able to raid lawyer's offices. They would do it in every case.

This is Mueller rolling it all. If he is wrong, his career is over along with a goodly chunk of the FBI.

A warrant requires probable cause that a crime or crimes have been committed, fool.

no, you must state what the crime is you're going after. so what is the crime?

huh?

I see the board Fascists think that lawyers who are suspected of criminal conspiracy with their clients still can claim privilege- and that if Mueller is allowed to complete his investigation that even Trump's son will turn out to be guilty.

Funny how you used that word.

Suspicion does not justify the breach.

This is more like proof the Russian investigation is over. It has moved on to a 12 year old one night stand.

What federal law was broken?

Campaign finance laws possibly.

Here comes another for all you sex interested guys.

Alicia Machado says Trump tried to have sex with her at the same time as he was fat-shaming her

 

[conserveguy877]

So we're back to the Trump Russia Hoax again? Wow! The circling around sure will help the president replace Mueller soon.

it's obvious at this very moment that the left doesn't care about our judicial system.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Agreed.

I want to see what the affidavits say.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

There was no campaign contribution.

Mueller has never found anything. He has not even found a crime that did not arise out of his own questioning. What he is doing is trying to carry his investigation to everyone Trump has ever known just to keep himself relevant. Will anything Mueller found survive a motion to suppress? Democrats don't care. It's good for months of gossip.

Isn't this the same shit done to Bill Clinton? Yes. What goes around comes around.

Not even close.

Mr. Cohen is at the center of several aspects of the special counsel’s investigation. He also acknowledged paying $130,000 to Stephanie Clifford, who said she had an affair with Mr. Trump.

The F.B.I. on Monday raided the office of President Trump’s longtime personal lawyer, Michael D. Cohen, seizing records related to several topics including payments to a pornographic-film actress.

Federal prosecutors in Manhattan obtained the search warrant after receiving a referral from the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, according to Mr. Cohen’s lawyer, who called the search “completely inappropriate and unnecessary.” The search does not appear to be directly related to Mr. Mueller’s investigation, but likely resulted from information he had uncovered and gave to prosecutors in New York.

“Today the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York executed a series of search warrants and seized the privileged communications between my client, Michael Cohen, and his clients,” said Stephen Ryan, his lawyer. “I have been advised by federal prosecutors that the New York action is, in part, a referral by the Office of Special Counsel, Robert Mueller.”

Apparently involves Stormy Daniels - and more.

I am no lawyer- and as such I wonder how a search warrant like that gets past lawyer/client privilege.

I would think that the only way to break that privilege would be to allege that the lawyer may have been involved with a criminal conspiracy with his client.

Every scrap is subject to a motion to suppress.

See Cohen is not charged with a criminal conspiracy. No one is. Trump isn't even charged with a criminal conspiracy. A prosecutor does not get to investigate just to investigate and hope they find a criminal conspiracy.

A warrant isn't issued without probable cause either.

Trump will take no prisoners in October.

Mueller is going to be lucky if he's housed in Gitmo after this

October? Halloween?

October Surprise. You keep whacking the hornets nest and think it's funny too.

We know this is a desperate ploy by the Democrats to deflect from their treasonous behavior - using the FBI and DOJ to spy on a political candidate, using Facebook, Amazon and Google to feed information to the government. Trumps knows it, he's holding back to do maximum damage, think of the Corleone Baptism. You think you're going to flip the House and Senate -- cuz Stormy!!! LOL. Soros, Hillary, Comey, Mueller's little lap dog, are like the heads of the Five Families. The only one spared will be Barack because Trump respects the office.

It was a crime which is serious enough that a Federal judge felt that the evidence is in danger of disappearing or Cohen could not be trusted to give up. All reports say, Cohen was not expecting this raid to take place. Since he has been with the Liar in Chief for so long, it is hard to say what they may find. I would think a dead boy would start stinking after a day or so....

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Which is why I want to see what the alleged probable cause is.

I do not trust judges to make the correct call in politically motivated actions such as this one.

We'll see....maybe.
