Feds wanted ‘Access Hollywood’ tape evidence during Trump lawyer raid

FBI agents sought records tied to President Trump’s infamous “Access Hollywood” recording when they raided the law office and hotel room of his personal lawyer, according to a new report Wednesday.

The warrant that authorized Monday’s searches also allowed the feds to seize evidence showing whether lawyer Michael Cohen tried to suppress damaging information about Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign, the New York Times reported.

Cohen has admitted paying porn actress Stormy Daniels $130,000 as part of agreement signed 11 days before the election in which Daniels agreed not to discuss her claim of having slept with Trump in 2006.

Both Cohen and Trump have said Trump was not aware of the deal.

Trump was the star of “The Apprentice” when he was caught on a hot microphone bragging to Billy Bush, then the host of “Access Hollywood,” about how his fame enabled him to kiss women and “grab them by the p—y.”

This angers me considerably.

Mueller was not hired to investigate Trump’s life.

why is a video, recorded in 2005, relevant to the price of rice?

Is MSNBC making up fake news again?

Sounds to me like a fishing expedition to help the democrats create fake Bimbo eruptions to influence an election.

This wasn’t even an accurate quote about what the Donald boasted. He boasted that the women would beg him to do said je-ne-sais-quoi grabbing (so stricken by his sex appeal would they be). That’s kind of adolescent for a 60 year old man, and he had to say sorry to Melania about it, but it’s almost hilarious when a whole government apparatus is going after tabloid accusations of alleged sexual shenanigans that happened outside of the White House and indeed the presidency itself.

Oh, oh, oh! Donald used to be a playboy! Stop the presses! Stop the world!

" . . . also allowed the feds to seize evidence showing whether lawyer Michael Cohen tried to suppress damaging information about Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign"

Trying to shield your client from bad publicity is now a crime? "Spin" - the staple of all politics - is now a crime?

I wonder how much of all of this will be leaked to the press? No doubt, very private information was taken from Cohen. Maybe MSNBC will finally have Trumps tax returns.

It's time to investigate Mueller's entire life, including what he was doing when Hitlery was selling out our Uranium supply to the RUSSIANS.

Or maybe just investigate the AWAN BROS. lives. That entire matter has been totally silenced in the media and even Congress has gone silent on their MASSIVE SPYING OPERATION UNDER THE DIRECTION OF OBAMA.

forgot to add, NBC was misleading from the git-go:

“When Trump brags that when you’re a “star,” you “can do anything,” another voice agrees, saying “whatever you want.” Trump then follows up with “Grab them by the p—y. You can do anything.”
The Post attributed the interjection to “another voice, apparently Bush’s,” but “Access Hollywood” attributes all of it to Trump.”

I agree.

I think the guy has conflicts of interest across the board, particularly since his friends have been hip deep in some of this stuff.

It’s interesting what he isn’t interested in investigating too.

The American legal system is predicated on the notion that EVERY person is entitled to a legal defense and that client/attourney commo is PROTECTED:

THAT is why clients make disclosures to their lawyers.

If one’s lawyer can be physically raided, that means that disclosures made to a trustworthy attorney are STILL not protected.

Ergo, clients don’t make disclosures and cannot get a complete defense.

SO:

Since “TrumpIsHitler” we simply throw the basis for our ENTIRE legal system out the window...?

I don’t get it.

I think Donald knows what’s about to go down, which is why he said attorney-client privilege is dead.

Donald probably doesn’t mind all that much getting embarrassed, when he knows that will catch the Democrat-Media complex with its pants down doing something obscene and selfish.

Identify your age before you accuse 60 year old men of being too old to be adolescent. I know of very few who are not and I consider it an insult to say we are too old to clown around like youngsters.

DJT and Billy B were laughing uncontrollably and being completely silly there was not an ounce of seriousness in what they were saying.
