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.” Mr. Cohen plays a role in aspects of the special counsel’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. He also recently said he paid $130,000 to a pornographic-film actress, Stephanie Clifford, who said she had an affair with Mr. Trump. Ms. Clifford is known as Stormy Daniels. Mr. Ryan said Mr. Cohen has cooperated with authorities and turned over thousands of documents to congressional investigators looking into Russian election meddling. The payments to Ms. Clifford are only one of many topics being investigated, according to a person briefed on the search. The F.B.I. also seized emails, tax documents and business records, the person said.

They are baiting him into doing just that. Apparently, what’s about to hit is going to be so bad, so damning, that Daniels won’t be in the news for a while.
We’ll see on all of it, said Charlie Brown to Lucy.
MUELLER AND ROD R. BOTH NEED TO BE GONE BY MORNING...LIKE 12:01 A.M.
This voting Republican has had enough...and for all Republicans to remain silent tells me they are dirty also...and are scared.
They will bring Trump down, one waynor another.
They’ve had Trump in a box since turncoat Sessions recused. They’re just waiting for Trump to make a move, so they can scream Watergate.
You’re delusional. We’re way way past ballot box remedies in our ‘relationship’ with our corrupt stasi state.
The entire Senate wants Trump gone. That’s a problem.
... and there will be a chicken in every pot and every little girl will get a unicorn on her 7th birthdayyyyy.
I’m finally beginning to actually believe equal justice under the law is truly dead.
Terrifying.
Mueller is SCUM. If anyone sees Mueller in person, lunge towards him and CLOCK him right in the face.
This is a RELENTLESS Deep State attack on our duly-elected president.
Now they claim she is working with a forensics artists.. that also is a fairy tale..she is full of her self and wants fame and money...enough...she needs dragged through a trailer park...let the democrats do that, they have experience..
Congress will try and impeach Trump whether he fires mueller or waits for mueller to give them a ‘legal fig leaf’
WHY GIVE CONGRESS A LEGAL FIG LEAF TO HIDE BEHIND? WHY GIVE THEM ANY COVER?
Trump is well within his rights to FIRE MUELLER. GOT IT?
IT should have been done LONG AGO.
I'm sure Trump wants the entire Senate gone. Nothing but a bunch of criminals.
He let it all happen. I think Trump just made a public statement which included slamming Sessions again.
where are our allies?...why aren’t more of the deep state nixed?
Agreed. I am so tired every time something happens there are folks on here squawking about not supporting our President if he doesn’t do XYZ. As if someone must be a total puppet to their demands if they want their support.
I often wonder if the demanding/fair weather folks are just extremely naïve. Or if their whole intention of being here is to divide and depress real support.
Possible drops:
1 - "Just wait until Friday and watch the news! But it might be Monday. Or next Friday!"
2 - "Now we're up to 500,000 secret indictments!"
3 - "Ha, ha, suckers!"
4 - Fill it in: " ____________ ".
Ya sound like you’re broadcasting from CNN.
