Michael Cohen office raided by FBI

[JimH52]

nothing like trashing our justice system. attorney climate privilege eh? illegal after illegal our democrats have truly engulfed Trump syndrome.

Attorney client privilege must be the line on fox. You're all using it.

Between Syria and the Cohen raid....the president's aides better stand clear. His orange head could explode at any moment.

If Mueller is not dead bang right on this, it is a career killer. Now that Stormy Daniels is bearing it all for Penthouse and answering questions, conveniently not under oath, she may sink his investigation right out of her box.

if thats all the search of Cohens home/office amounted to - there could be another avenue that leads in another direction for Mueller

Could be. Or another person. Trump isn't Cohen's only client.

Is Mueller just investigating to investigate and see if he can concoct something, against someone?

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.

Give me a fucking break they investigated one thing that led to another.

Trump was not a sitting president when he boned the airhead and he hasn't lied under oath.

Trump was the nominee for President when she was bribed to keep her mouth shut. At the very same time Trump was parading Clinton's accusers in front of the cameras to divert attention away from his pussy grabbing tape.

And this quite possibly violated campaign finance laws.

All caught up now?

 

[WEATHER53]

So it's illegal to pay someone to not talk about the sex that they had with you?

 

[Hutch Starskey]

We do know however that there certainly was probable cause.

Which was what?

How in the hell do you ask the exact same dumbass question as the poster I responded to and actually quote my reply to the previous dumbass question?

Holy shit.

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.

Like FISA warrants?

Yeah. Just like that, dope.

So you're saying the warrant is as dirty as the FISA warrants?

 

[BasicHumanUnit]

This time its different!!!

Hmmmm....we've heard this what?....10000 times now?

Don't worry. He will eventually. If I had to guess, Trump's first lie will be in response to the second question asked. The first question being a truthful response to being asked his name.

 

[Faun]

When it's used to benefit the campaign, it's all relevant.

So, all the information in every one of Cohen's client files is relevant to this inquiry?

Wow.

Liberalism is officially dead in America. Overrun by commies and other Statist Authoritarians.

Unbelievable.

Poor thing, have another tissue...

Stormy and Michael Avenatti must be deliriously happy tonight.

And your point?

 

[Lakhota]

Who will Trump fire tonight?

 

[Baz Ares]

Who will Trump fire tonight?

Will the Great Douche lose another Lawyer on his team of Two left?
Will Rosenstein be at work next Monday?

For more Great Douche failings.

Really, Mueller looking at Bank Fraud, Wire Fraud. These can be charged both in state and Federal Court
So, No Pardon will FIX THIS! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Make no mistake this no knock raid is not about Stormy Daniels.

Robert Mueller could care less about her. Remember that Trump's business records were subpoenaed recently. He's had them for about 2 months now. Mueller has had time to go over those, and Michael Cohen has been very good at setting up shell corporations for Trump--like he did in Delaware over the payment to Stormy Daniels.
Trump lawyer used shell company to pay off ex-porn star: report

Michael Cohen being Trump's personal attorney for decades has a lot of documents on Trump.

It's the equivalent of J. Edgar Hoover grabbing Al Capone's accountant, and getting the books.

Al Capone was at least charged with a crime. No one has been charged with a crime.

Idle speculation.

That privilege isn't worth a hill of beans if Cohen is the suspected criminal, which given attorney-client privilege, is more likely the case than is Trump's being the suspect as goes the raid on Cohen's offices.

The CLIENTS own the privilege. Not the attorney.

Tell us how all those other clients of Cohen were involved and why their confidential information is now in the hands of the FBI.

This is big brother statist government at its finest.

You need to go back to fucking law school. You apparently don't understand attorney-client privilege.....AT ALL.

There’s also no attorney/client Privilege when both the attorney AND the client insist the client wasn’t involved in the actions taken by the attorney.

 

[WEATHER53]

So the libbie lynch mob and Mueller are twisting any payments, if any, to Stormy to not blabber about any, if any, sex with him into a campaign financing violation What a desperate far reaching straw grab

 

[Syriusly]

So it's illegal to pay someone to not talk about the sex that they had with you?

So it's illegal for Trump to get a blowjob from Putin?

 

[Lakhota]

This raid must have been very serious if a federal judge signed off on it.
