F.B.I. Raids Office of Trump’s Longtime Lawyer Michael Cohen

a reply to: UKTruth

The thing about long-held tactics is they've got a lot in common with fresh fish and house guests: after they've been around a little wile, they all start to stink.

Me and everybody else. Stop trying to make that an anomaly. It wasnt.

I was pointing out you can be wrong in your thoughts is all i was doing.

a reply to: yuppa

Gee thanks. Otherwise I might think I'm a God.
If I recall I woke up still human this morning.

I admit when I'm wrong.

That would suggest the only viable time (assuming twitter locations can't be manipulated) would have been his twitter gap between Friday night, Sept. 7th 2016 8PM NY and his twitter fest resumption Monday Morning September 10th 7:30AM in NY. It's a very tight window of very unusual twitter silence. (26 hours car and planes over 36 or so hours) Show me him in NY anytime over that weekend (8th or 9th Sept 2016) and I will call the reporting bunk.

Wait - you found a weekend when he didn't tweet and are pushing that as an indication he was in Prague????

I am saying Michael Cohen did not go 24 hours without a dozen or more tweets with place stamps for that month (Last two weeks August first two Sept. 2016)

He went silent on twitter from Friday night until Monday morning (weekend Sept. 9th,10th Sept)

The man was in the news near daily as a prominent part of the Trump campaign.

Easy question to answer. Where was he at any time that weekend?

It's possible the story is bunk, but if it is not, that is the weekend I am calling out.

He was on TV, in the news and on twitter consistently, near daily until then (even when visiting his son in LA).

That weekend is full black out. Show me anything from that weekend about his whereabouts and I will concede that McClatchy DC published a bunk claim. For what is worth McClatchy has a long record of very solid reporting. they wouldn't double down on the claim of Cohen in Prague unless they had solid sources. Just my opinion. Open to being proven wrong.
Show me where Cohen was that weekend. Even on twitter. Some campaign event or meeting or interview or even him recounting it somewhere.

He had time to fly to Frankfurt (8 hours) drive to Prague (5 hours) and back.

That makes no sense. I've never been abroad, much less to Europe.

You entered a foreign country without a passport. Did Canada not want to stamp your passport? Why not?

What were you 'delivering' that you had to cross the border 'on the sly' like that? Contraband?

Sounds illegal to me.

Yeah, you're right. I was delivering illegal noodles. Contraband. While you're at it, indict Celadon Trucking.

Oh, and the Customs officer who searched my truck... indict her too.

US citizens are not required to have a passport in order to enter Canada. While they can use one enhanced drivers license, social security /Birth certificates etc are allowed under Canadian law. To my knowledge Canada does not stamp US passports for entering their country and vice versa.

lol sure.. In addition to other things. Also it allows countries to know who is coming to dinner. My point however is if Cohen went to Europe it would be logged by the US government and the country he touched down in in the EU. Same for when he departs the EU and returns to the US.

a reply to: Xcathdra

They do want your passport, VISA, or birth certificate now. When I went the first time, I was allowed to enter using a driver's license (while driving a DOT-registered truck with all the manifest paperwork). The problem I had was not getting into Canada... it was getting back in the US!

Silly baby-faced Barney Fife wanna be with an attitude didn't seem to understand why I couldn't pull something I didn't have out of my rear. I almost went off on him: "You stupid idiot, you either let me get back in my own damn country, or I swear I'll turn this truck around, drive back across that bridge, find the closest police station, turn myself in as an illegal alien, get myself deported back here, and you won't get your freakin' $5 re-entry fee!"

Almost...

Who says that was cohens only crime...

All along ALOT of people have claimed trump was making millions doing money laundering..

So he likely met with Russians in Prague, but also , totally separately was involved in money laundering..

Muller is investigating Prague and NY is investigating the money laundering.

How many claims does it take to make a conviction?

a reply to: TheRedneck

Just one FBI investigation usually lol..

They don’t raid the president’s private sleazy lawyer without CRAZY EVIDENCE..

It took two trump appointees to agree the raid should take place... lol.

How bad must it be for 2 trump appointees to agree???

"I hire the BEST people!"

Just saying when your Chief National Security Advisor, you Chief and Deputy Campaign Managers, your Personal Lawyer and a bunch of other hand-picked folks get indicted, convicted, raided etc. at what point do you entertain the remote possibility that the common denominator might be corrupt?

a reply to: JoshuaCox

Your evidence seems to be that people say Trump is guilty.

Did Trump get raided? I thought it was Cohen. Maybe i missed something?

I was responding to a statement that Trump must be guilty because so many people say he is. Context. But I'll ask you the same question:

Until 911 you just needed I.D. to cross into Canada or Mexico.

Hold on a sec only ONE trump apointee agreed. the One in NY recussed himself so he didnt reccomend anything.
And Nixon had this done before without crazy evidence. Most likely it was produced evidence.

On claims alone? never be enough if we are going by the law.

a reply to: yuppa

If the evidence wasn’t any good why didn’t the 2 trump appointees shoot it down??

See we have to come up with another conspiracy theory to explain that...



And when you need new conspiracy theories to keep your original conspiracy going. That definitely lowers the chances of you being correct..

Define “produced evidence “ , please.
