WTF are the Deputy AG and Director Wray think they are doing?

Presenting the document in question in an FBI secured room and Gowdy gets there to read the 2 page document only to find it is completely redacts. He goes back the next day to find some things underacted but still useless to context.

If the info in the article is accurate, and the reason they are blocking this is because of the embarrassment it would cause should it be discovered this entire investigation is a farce...

News flash -
Documents cannot be classified / hidden based solely on the argument of government embarrassment if they are released. We settled that issue decades ago with the Supreme Court.

No one is going to impeach Rosenstein. I can't believe you actually believe that is a possibility of happening, and even if Congress does vote to impeach it won't survive the 2/3rds votes needed in the Senate anyways. I wouldn't even hold your breath on this one. It is a useless cause to hang your hat on.

a reply to: burgerbuddy

Lol..

It took no less than 3 TRUMP APPOINTEES to give the OK to raid the lawyer...


How ironclad must the evidence be for those 3 trump appointees to do that???


If it is bs, then that doesn’t happen.. plus the FBI almost never raids lawyers..

So that means the evidence is so damning, that even trumps own lapdogs are unwilling to cover it up for him....

a reply to: burgerbuddy

But it is illegal to lie on the application about WHY you want the loan...

Do you think there is ANY CHANCE Cohen said “it is to pay off a pornstar for my boss”???

Lol..

That said, no one is prosecuting a president for that.. so it is definitely worse than that.


Could be unrelated to trump I guess.. he is a shady side lawyer for a reason lol..

He will do things the bigwigs wouldn’t risk.

a reply to: Meniscus

They have to provide proof of a crime BEFORE they can get a warrant...


Doubly so when concerning raiding a lawyers office.


And 3 top trump appointees ok’d the raid..


How much evidence does it take for trumps own people to authorize a raid on the president’s lawyer????


A WHOLE LOT.

a reply to: yuppa

Because you are not legally allowed to lie to the bank about the reason for your loan....


For example: if I ask for a loan to start a buisness, then instead of starting that buisness I take a vacation. That’s bank fraud..


Don’t worry.. they don’t prosecute big wig politicians for that small of a crime..


So you can believe what they have on Cohen is worse than that lol.

a reply to: TheRedneck

It is illegal to lie on a loan application..


Obviously..

Why do you care? Did you care about Larry Sinclair's claims? Did you feel bad for Michelle and were you disgusted that Malia was only a year old when Obama cheated with Larry?

One is a right wing homo-erotic fiction smear campaign without any basis in reality.

The other is an active court case with compelling evidence.

Larry was arrested at his press conference on a bogus warrant issued out of Beau Biden's office and falsely imprisoned. Personally, I think that's far more damning evidence than an NDA.

And, yeah...there is no active court case because eventually all of the phony criminal charges were dropped, and Larry won the defamation case filed against him.

He had open warrants in Colorado, nothing to do with Biden.
www.politico.com...

Public records and court filings reveal that he has a 27-year criminal record, with a specialty in crimes involving deceit. The record includes forgery charges in two states, one of which drew Sinclair a 16-year jail sentence. The Pueblo County, Colo., Sheriff's Office also has an outstanding warrant for Sinclair's arrest for forging an acquaintance's signature and stealing her tax refunds.

"It is what it is," said Sinclair's spokesman, Montgomery Blair Sibley, of his client's criminal record. "He's not hiding from it, he's not denying it."

...

Sinclair's affidavit, which he posted to his blog, accompanied a request to a Colorado judge to dismiss the warrant on the grounds that Sinclair was "disabled with [a] severe spine injury and nerve damage," that returning to Colorado would put his life in danger, and that he was "terminally ill."

Sinclair, who is still alive, is 46, stands 5'7", and weights 168 pounds, according to arrest records. Colorado records list him with 13 aliases, including "Larye Vizcarra Avila" and "Mohammed Gahanan."

Believe what you like, but that there is some crazy.

What attorney-client privilege???

The payment was made on Trump's behalf, ostensibly based on personal knowledge of Trump's legal situation. That is attorney-client privilege, even if the client's name is Trump.

It is profoundly illegal for an Attorney to act on a clients behalf without their knowledge or direction.

It is cause for immediate disbarment and charges.

Trump was either his client in the transaction or he wasn't.

WTF are you talking about? You don't know, do you?

What if a power of attorney was signed to allow freedom of action? Ever think of that?

Holy Crap. You are claiming the President of the United States signed away Power of Attorney to Michael Cohen????

Jesus...The crazy never ends with Trump defenders.

OK, lets run with that! The POTUS signed away his Power of Attorney to an Ambulance Chaser in NY.

I must be missing how a personal equity loan is bank fraud or breaks campaign finance laws. If you pay off a porn star to sign an nda.

Paying money on Trumps behalf constitutes a gift. There is a legal limit on how much money you can gift to a Presidential candidate.

Trump repaying the money also goes against the legal limitations on what campaign funds can be used for.

If Trump repaid Cohen out of his personal funds, this wouldn't be an issue... using campaign funds has strings attached though.

Basically, Trump is such a stable genius that he took a relatively minor civil suit, and then made every legal misstep he could have possibly made, and turned it into a major criminal suit.

So the 750K clinton gave McCabe's wife was within the limits?

Interesting, it was paid by an LLC tho, not a personal contribution.

I take it you do not know about PACs? They operate under an entirely different set of rules.

you all are hilarious with the "no evidence" crap. you HAVE NO IDEA what mueller knows - none! and, you ignore ALL the indictments and GUILTY pleas like they havn't happened. LOL just because you say "no evidence" over and over and over does not make it true. lol

you think this trump appointed lawyer and judge signed off on this with nothing??? jesus...

then i think on all those auditoriums screeching "lock her up" and this is all even more hilarious.

this is our justice system working - absolutely. you sure as hell wouldn't see this happening in russia, north korea, or china.
