F.B.I. Raids Office of Trump’s Longtime Lawyer Michael Cohen
New York Times ^ | 4-12-2018

Posted on 04/09/2018 1:12:18 PM PDT by outpostinmass2

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.”

Mueller is going after Trump by proxy, as the “Russian collusion” gig is a dud.

If the RINOs lose the mid-term elections and the dimocommies get control of the House and Senate this and other stuff will be what they use to file impeachment charges against Trump. The RINOs will even jump for joy if the republican party loses the elections. They do better when they are they are the minority party taking orders from their Dimocommie masters.

He is desperate because the end is near for him. Even this will not save him. He has a date with the military tribunal and hangman looming over him.

If Trump doesn't regain control of the DOJ and the FBI by whatever means necessary. They are going to take him down. Mueller has infinite time and resources and Sessions and Rosenstein are clearly part of the enemy state.

I don’t think I’m aware of the situation you address there, but it doesn’t surprise me that he might be up on charges soon. That group of folks who were best chums at the FBI need to be prosecuted.

There are clear conflicting interests which should have prevented Mueller from every being appointed.

It’s like he was appointed to make sure none of his chums became targets, pure and simple.

I’m not a lawyer, so maybe I don’t understand, but how is this not a TOTAL violation of attorney-client privilege?

It is, but Congress was bugging the FBI and they wanted to show some muscle. Welcome to USSA
