He was still being watched and his texts are on file.
But you guys can relax now. It's not the horror show you thought.
I don't know

The only revelation that started this thread is that Cohen was surveiled. We don't know why or when or who initiated the surveillance. But it doesn't look to me that it was the Southern district of New York. Or they wouldn't need a refferal to raid Cohen's offices.
To call me for bringing a different viewpoint to todays new info is weak.

News flash - Cohen has been monitered frrom day one
of the illegal Obama unmasking.
So was Guliani, and hundreds of other innocent citizens.
This is the new liberal happy dance.

Even if Cohen has broken the law himself it shouldn't negate attorney client privilege for any of his clients.
That is true. The only problem is that attorney-client privilege is no longer a valid defense to withhold certain info, or ask for certain info to not be included in a case, ifthat relationship was part of perpetuating a crime.
Just the fact Mueller refered it to the Southern District means it has nothing to do with Mueller's probe.
That is also true, but it doesn't necessarily mean it does not have anything to do with Trump.
Lends credence to the possibility they may have violated attorney client privilege of Cohens clients.
No it does not.

You sure about that? Seems contradictory.
emphasis mine
ABC News reported Tuesday that Geoffrey Berman, the interim US attorney for the Southern District of New York, recused himself from the investigation into Trump's longtime personal lawyer, Michael Cohen.
Two sources told ABC News that Berman was not involved in the decision to raid Cohen's office and residences on Monday because of that recusal, which Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein approved.

Since they have absolutely nothing on Russian collusion
You know this how? Because Trump says so?
You know that Trump lies, right?

However, I have to ask: What does the Donald Trump, Stormy Daniels, and Michael Cohen situation have to do with Russian election meddling and Trump campaign collusion? That's where the Mueller investigation started.
Cohen is rumored to have been a conduit between Russian organized crime and the Trump Organization for a very long time. His uncle, Morton Levine, owns a country club in Brooklyn called El Caribe that Russian Mafia bosses rented space in. Some of this stuff with Cohen goes really deep:

Fun Fact - People's rights are violated -
Socialists and Liberals Now Rejoice!
That is why you all LOST the eleciton LOL!
Fun fact: The guy you think signed off on this actually recused himself:
It was Rod Rosenstein who signed off on the raid.
Other attorneys in the Southern District handled the FBI raid,which a federal judge approved, ABC News said.
