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

a reply to: TheRedneck

No my evidence is that trump appointees wouldn’t tell his FBI agents to raid Cohen unless the evidence was good..


According to trump only his supporters are not biased against him.. and one of his supporters judged the evidence was good enough to raid him..

From that point we need a whole new conspiracy theory to explain the appointee ok’ing the raid.

Like maybe the appointee wants to create a mistrial I guess, but he would be signing his own name to it. So seems doubtful.

Or the appointee was paid off or corrupted..


On its face value it looks bad, and trump lost atleast a percent of his supporters bombing Syria.. so there is less and less reasons for the gop to protect him.

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.

Ignoring only ONE Signed off on the raid i see. You are being selectively dishonest. And as such will not be worth arguing with because your bias is so strong you cant be wrong ever.

Lol One doesn’t have to be biased to notice this doesn’t look good for trump..

One recused himself, one said to raid Cohen..

It doesn’t change the dynamic one itty bitty bit..

Trump can’t pin this on some partisan democrat conspiracy.. atleast not without throwing his appointee under the bus.

Other News:

Cohen refused to turn over his Client list. (letter to judge this AM)

DOJ attorneys file letter explaining Trump's request that he personally review all evidence before the FBI does has no legal precedent and makes no sense.

Cohen did say he has only had 3 clients in the past 10 years, Trump + The RNC Finance Chair where Cohen funneled 1.6 Million to a mistress to have an abortion and 1 other that he refused to disclose to the court.

Well, well, well! That sure explains a lot. Lol

Cohens third client has been revealed... it was Sean Hannity. Looks like some great Americans are about to be going down too.

Yes! It does.

The WaPo as much as admits that this could still be a gotcha for Trump:

The Cohen case is being handled by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, which got its referral from the investigation led by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III. But that doesn't mean Cohen couldn't cut a deal that involved cooperating with Mueller. Former top Justice Department official Harry Litman told me last week that there was “nothing preventing” such a development and that it was “a likely prospect to consider.”

Cohen, though, has expressed complete loyalty to Trump. “I’d rather jump out of a building than turn on Donald Trump,” he told a radio station last week.

Things, of course, have a way of changing as circumstances change. And jail time has a way of compelling people to do things they would rather not.

6 big questions in the Michael Cohen saga

Oh, they're also parroting the "Cohen in Prague," mumbo jumbo.

Always thought there was something odd going on between, Hannity and the Trump-verse, moreso than other pundits. Guess I was right. I mean he worked as a borderline adviser for Donald for months before the election, has had dinner weven ith Trump and associates multiple times under Trump's Presidency. Guess I was right.

It probably isnt but I feel like there is some kind of conflict in interest in using your national tv show to try to dismantle the FBI over a raid of your secret attorney who has been doing "secret legal work" for you.

If you listened closely at the end of every Hannity show the past week screaming about the Cohen raid, you can hear him mumble really fast, "full disclosure, Michael Cohen is my Personal attorney".

You just need to listen REALLY, REALLY carefully.

LOL

No worries, Cohen's attorneys are surely mistaken about Hannity. He wasn't really a client.

Later in his show, Hannity denied being a formal client of Cohen but acknowledged that the Trump lawyer provided some advice.

“Michael never represented me in any matter. I never retained him,” Hannity insisted. “But I occasionally have had brief discussions with him” on legal matters.

Clear the swamp he said... HAHA

Listened to that live on Hannity's show. Sounds like Hannity just threw Cohen under the bus and made a case that none of their communications are confidential.

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.

If what Cohen did was Trump related it would have remained with Mueller instead of going to the SDNY.

The Trump appointee in the SDNY recused himself. The decision and signoff came from Rosenstein.
