Rudy Giuliani called for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to intervene in the Michael Cohen case and put the people behind the probe “under investigation” in a phone call with The Hill on Thursday. “I am waiting for the Attorney General to step in, in his role as defender of justice, and put these people under investigation,” Giuliani said, reacting to an NBC News report that phones belonging to Cohen, President Trump’s longtime personal attorney, had been tapped by investigators. The former New York City mayor argued that the reported wiretapping of Cohen, if true, was a blatant transgression of attorney-client...

On Thursday the Secret Service admitted that they were wiretapping Michael Cohen’s phone lines. Cohen is president Trump’s private attorney. This means the Deep State has wiretapped and/or spied on Donald Trump’s administration, his transition team, his family, his business and now his lawyer’s phone lines. And NO CRIME OR CRIMINAL CONDUCT has ever been identified. Now this… Today on MSNBC porn star Stormy Daniels’s lawyer Michael Avenatti said HE KNEW Cohen’s text messages were also being tapped!

Federal authorities wiretapped the phone lines of President Donald Trump's long-time personal lawyer Michael Cohen, NBC News reported Thursday. At least one call between Cohen's phone and the White House was captured by the wiretap, according to the story. Cohen is under criminal investigation in New York, where FBI agents in April seized files related to his $130,000 hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, for which Trump claims to have reimbursed him.

Federal investigators tapped the phone lines of President Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, according to a bombshell report by NBC News. The report, citing one source with direct knowledge, said at least one call between the White House and a phone line associated with Cohen was intercepted. The wiretap could dramatically raise the legal stakes for Trump if any potential conversations with his longtime lawyer were swept up by investigators, who are conducting a wide-ranging criminal probe into Cohen’s business activities. According to NBC News, it is unclear how long the phone had been wiretapped or when it was authorized,...

Federal investigators have wiretapped the phone lines of Michael Cohen, the longtime personal lawyer for President Donald Trump who is under investigation for a payment he made to an adult film star who alleged she had an affair with Trump, according to two people with knowledge of the legal proceedings involving Cohen.

At least one...

President Donald Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani said on Thursday he doubted the veracity of a bombshell NBC News report from earlier in the day that federal authorities wiretapped the president’s longtime counsel, Michael Cohen. “Us lawyers have talked about it, we don’t believe it’s true,” Giuliani told The Daily Beast. “We think it’s going to turn out to be untrue because it would be totally illegal. You can’t wiretap a lawyer, you certainly can’t wiretap his client who’s not involved in the investigation. No one has suggested that Trump was involved in that investigation. So they’re going to wiretap the...

CLEMENTE: “No, there is a way. We certainly have ways in national security investigations to find out exactly what was said in that conversation. It’s not necessarily something that the FBI is going to want to present in court, but it may help lead the investigation and/or lead to questioning of her. We certainly can find that out. BURNETT: “So they can actually get that? People are saying, look, that is incredible. CLEMENTE: “No, welcome to America. All of that stuff is being captured as we speak whether we know it or like it or not.” >Snip< “All of that...

This isn’t the first time in our history that we’ve had the possibility of dangerous weapons in the hands of a leader we didn’t trust, and this won’t be the first time we’ve responded to this possible threat with a military assault. In 1992, the U.S. federal government conducted a military siege at Ruby Ridge, ultimately killing Randy Weaver's dog, son and wife. Mr. Weaver was suspected of being a cult leader, hording weapons and ammunition for anti-government purposes. The government was never able to prove their allegations, but ends-justify-the-means justice was the explanation for the loss of life. Did...
