Michael Cohen office raided by FBI

[DrLove]

Cohen paying Stormy for her silence has nothing to do with Russia and is not a crime.

Sorry - Highly likely to be a campaign finance crime.

Same thing that brought down John Edwards.

I use the attorney-client privilege. I know the attorney-client privilege. The attorney-client privilege is a friend of mine. And the attorney-client privilege is not dead. What is dead is using the privilege to hide illegal acts. And that has been dead for a long time. #basta

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.

And to think that what you discuss with your lawyer is private and protected under the law.

Not even Nixon had to deal with this.

Please note, Trump is in no way the object of these investigations. The fact that everyone around him is has to do with pure coincidence only.

What do you mean by "object" of these investigations? He is a "subject" of the investigation.

Holyfuckingshit!

Weren’t you the one earlier claiming Hillary committed crimes but was never charged with them??

You should have “hypocrite” tattooed across your forehead..... backwards, so you can read it every time you look in a mirror.

Yeah because our justice system ALWAYS gets the crook...LOL!

Moron, what does that have to to with someone talking about presumption of innocence after crying that Hillary got away with committing crimes?

Why didn't they raid the place where Hillary's server was? It was under subpeona and she failed to produce it.

I get your drift

Anything Trump does is suspicious

anything the demo rats do is not

.

This doesn’t even appear to be about Trump; so no, I don’t think you really do get my drift.

Why would that need to be prosecuted in NYC? Isn't campaign finance part of Mueller's baliwick?

Hmmm, good question. IMHO yes and no. I suspect that Mueller kicked this one down for one of two reasons. 1. It could have been viewed as outside the scope his investigation or 2. Mueller is backing up EVERYTHING so that in the event he gets fired, the investigation will continue.

Also, Trump can pardon all these crooks on federal convictions, but not those brought by a state.

Small correction..Edward Snowden lives in Russia---Julian Assange is living in the Ecuadorian Embassy--London.

Hilarious that the butthurt, anti-Donald folks see a porn star famous for talking it up the ass as their savior!

Pathetic that a porn star has more credibility than the President of the United States.

Pathetic that your only defense of Trump is an ad hominem of his mistress.

He fucked her. I don't think he would like you talking about this mistress that way.

Pathetic that the Left hangs on every word of a porn star yet you people were the same ones certain, sight-unseen, each and all of the women that came forward about Bill Clinton were liars.

What law(s) did Trump break? Infidelity is not against the law. Trump did not run on family values.

Do remember..that these are still Federal matters..and if there are charges..they will be Federal charges.

True, but the New York Attorney General is also aggressively pursuing Trump state crimes.

Depends from what I understand. Let's say they find evidence of money laundering by Trump and Cohen or decide to go after those shady loans Kushner rounded up. Those could be conducted by a State AG.

Well..that's true..as far as I can tell..he runs from family values. Pathetic attempt at spin and deflection noted..and laughed at.

Understatement of the fucking universe.

That dude has filed over 100 actions against Trump since he took office.

Take notes. The do-nothing-useful, idiot GOP brigade will do the same in spades.

I honestly believe the reason The Deep State is going after Trump is because he does not want to go to War with Russia over Syria, and he also is not down with Corporate America abusing our Immigration Laws and NAFTA to benefit themselves at the expense of The American People.

Clinton not only vowed to start World War III stating to her Wall Street Investors in her famous speech detractors call-

Dead $oldiers For Dollar$

Where she said, "War in The Middle East with Russian and Syria should not be looked as a problem, but rather it should be looked as an Investment Opportunity!"

She also proposed dissolving our Borders with Mexico and Canada, and getting rid of The Dollar in favor of The Amero.

Experts are pushing back on Trump’s claim about the legal privilege.

Legal experts pushed back on Trump’s claim that attorney-client privilege ― a legal safeguard for confidential communications between an attorney and a client ― is “dead.” Lawyers, including Daniels’ attorney, Michael Avenatti, disputed the president’s suggestion that the FBI search of Cohen’s office violated the protection:

As tweeted by George Conway, an attorney and the husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, the Department of Justice defines when an attorney can legally be subject to a search.

“There are occasions when effective law enforcement may require the issuance of a search warrant for the premises of an attorney who is a subject of an investigation, and who also is or may be engaged in the practice of law on behalf of clients,” the Justice Department says on its website.
