Michael Cohen office raided by FBI

[MindWars]

Deep 6 The Deep State with Dick Morris is live now.
Raid on Trump lawyer is just a pretext to access president’s confidential records

 

[EvilCat Breath]

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.

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.

Several of Trump's mafia have been charged with crimes - and some have plead guilty. Now, Mueller is working on the head of the snake.

No. You think some have been charged with crimes. None has been charged with crimes. The only crimes charged were lying to Mueller's team. There has been no underlying crime of any American citizen. They plead guilty to giving false information to Mueller. One such charge arose out of a misremembered date. Flynn is getting ready with withdraw his plea of guilty because there is no evidence against him.

What’s illegal about it?

This is the exact same question you imbeciles pose when people's 1st and 2nd amendment rights are CLEARLY violated.

This lack of morality is why the Progressive Left MUST be stopped by any means necessary.

To you jackasses, law is irrelevant and being right is only a matter of what political side of the bus you sit in.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

I don't recall if the FBI or Starr ass fucked a bunch of private citizens in pursuit of Bill "Boogie Night" Clinton, but if they did, fuck them.....again.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

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?

And your point?

Your tu quoque point about Clinton in a Trump topic?

Repeat that in english please.

"B-b-b-b-b-b-but Clinton!"

You're welcome.

You know as well as I do this is going to amount to the same thing as the ridiculous collusion claims.
The only question is will this fall flat before the midterms.

 

[oreo]

How about conspiracy to commit campaign financing violations?

If Trump conspired with his lawyer to arrange for the payment to Stormy to keep her quiet before the election, and specifically had the lawyer pay rather than Trump in order to prevent any direct link to Trump.

What does that have to do with other clients? Why does the FBI get to dig into all of their shit?

That's what pisses me off. This is some bullshit.

Robert Mueller is not in the least bit interested in Stormy Daniels. What he is after is all of these shell corporations that Michael Cohen has set up for the Trump empire, over the decades that he has been Trump's personal attorney.

Getting a no knock search warrant convinces me that they showed a district court judge a lot of evidence, and convinced that judge that if Cohen was forewarned about seizure he would have destroyed a lot of the evidence. Which is exactly what Robert Mueller did to Paul Manafort.

You need to keep up.

That's what pisses me off. This is some bullshit.

A motion for a clean team has already been made. A judge is going to have to appoint a team to go through, paper by paper, to separate out everything subject to Attorney Client Privilege, for Trump and for everyone else too.

Any chance of Trump voluntarily sitting down and answering questions is dead in the water now.

You know it’s bad when even Fox News is covering it!

 

[BasicHumanUnit]

What I wanna know is.......

WHY DA FUCK ISN'T THERE A SPECIAL COUNCIL RIPPING THE LYIN LEFT's ASS APART?
WAY more to prosecute there.

It;s like a Republican could FART and get crucifed.....while the Left can rob every bank from coast to coast and it all is ignored. WTF?

Don't give me any horseshit like they haven't committed crimes that are DEEP levels more serious and harmful to the nation than this imaginary shit.

If you're a real American and you love your country (or what it used to be), this shit should have you beyond upset at this point.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

No, dope.

Money. Try reading the post I responded to that you conveniently omitted.

Then, why are they going after all the client files? You know. The stuff that is privileged and confidential?

Here you go, dumbass. Next time, answer your own questions.

The Crime-Fraud Exception to the Attorney-Client Privilege
Not all attorney-client communications are privileged.

The attorney-client privilege protects most communications between clients and their lawyers. But, according to the crime-fraud exception to the privilege, a client’s communication to her attorney isn’t privileged if she made it with the intention of committing or covering up a crime or fraud.

Because the attorney-client privilege belongs to the client, the client’s intent determines whether the exception applies. Most courts will apply the exception even if the attorney had no knowledge of, and didn’t participate in, the actual crime or fraud.

The crime-fraud exception applies if:

• the client was in the process of committing or intended to commit a crime or fraudulent act, and
• the client communicated with the lawyer with intent to further the crime or fraud, or to cover it up.

Needs to die? That sounds like a reportable offense to federal authorities.

 

[cutter]

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.

Oh come on, admit it you were cheering when Bill got busted for lying about a blow bob.


Sent from my iPhone using USMessageBoard.com

he didn't get impeached for a blow job.

If muller claims that stormy was the hooker that preformed the golden shower then maybe it could be part of the Russian collusion investigation. If not muller should just tuck his tail and end the farce. No wonder the left is upset. We all know how they like to come up with lies the week before elections that can’t be refuted in a week. Trump managed to stop this one before it was used and it pisses them off. Republicans are supposed to just accept defeat and Trump doesn’t play by the libs rules. Keep pissin’ them off Donald, your country loves it.

At what point into the past do these "shell corporations" become irrelevant to the 2016 Election?

How is this relevant to every other Cohen client?

It is a MASSIVE violation of civil rights of many people not related to Trump.

[Faun]

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.

If this is about the NDA with Stormy Daniels, where is the attorney/client privilege when it didn’t involve Trump?

 

[Hutch Starskey]

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?

That's your desperate narrative there, chief.

• FBI raids the office of Trump lawyer Michael Cohen
• F.B.I. Raids office of Trump's Longtime Lawyer Michael Cohen
• FBI Agents Raid Trump Lawyer Michael Cohen’s Office
  • “Federal prosecutors in Manhattan obtained the search warrant after receiving a referral from the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III. 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.”
    
    Cohen’s hush payment to Daniels was reportedly not the only issue the feds sought to investigate, per the Times: “The F.B.I. also seized emails, tax documents and business records."

They really aren't the FBI anymore.
Now they have become the Corrupt Democratic Party's Secret Police.
Stalin would approve.
