F.B.I. Raids Office of Trump’s Longtime Lawyer Michael Cohen
New York Times. ^ | April 9,2018 | MATT APUZZO

Posted on 04/09/2018 1:12:01 PM PDT by Hojczyk

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.

What if these types of occurrences are strategic moves to turn the public so when sealed indictments are opened on big dogs the little dogs won’t riot and burn cities?

If you held the Sessions blackmail file, he would do as you tell him to do.

I wonder, is Mule-er aiming to force DJT to testify under oath regarding the slut Daniels lawsuit?

Feathers on bulls would be more realistic than to believe that CRAP.

um, yeah, that’s my point.... I hope you didn’t think it was serious. Although with all the Q nonsense that’s gone before, I suppose it’s beyond parody.

Different league and not the same game. They NEED him to do something rash, which they believe he will, but he won’t.

What we are watching unfold has be planned for years. These people didn’t just decide to go up against the Powers that be on a whim. A lot of people had to be involved in this to different degrees for success. We must trust the plan.

This shows how desperate Mueller is to get President Trump.

Stormy Daniels from 12 years ago has nothing to do with Russians stealing an election.

I am VERY SUSPICIOUS of the fire too now. Connect the dots. This is how Mueller was able to get into the Attorney’s office.

Desperate bid to get something/anything they can use for leverage, before the hammer comes down from the IG report?

wow, I was right, Q-Anon really is beyond parody.

If it was not obvious that it was a parody post then it is hard to reach a point of parody with this Q-anon nonsense.

“As God as my witness.. I thought turkeys could fly.”

Not a bad tagline! Heh.

The fire was suspicious from the beginning to me also, because of the Left’s hatred of this President and of America. They really won’t stop at anything to remove him from office and gain back control.

I know it doesn’t work this way, and maybe this sounds foolish, but I could see Obama stepping in as “interim” president. It could happen, since with the Democrats, it’s a free-for-all anyway, and there is no law that applies to them. Not even the Constitution matters to them. Please continue to pray for our President and our country.

If Q’s predictions were wrong, then Q would not have a following. Q been right over and over again. I am sorry if you don’t understand that.

Perhaps it’s an indication that your brain has inflammation from the foods you eat? People with brain inflammation have cognitive trouble processing information that require a little bit of thinking. That may be the case and explain why you really believe what you say.

Nevertheless, having a conniption fit over something you don’t believe in.... sort of like the Easter Bunny... Well that tells me you are troll. If you don’t believe, then why are you motivated to destroy it? Live and live instead of being a control freak.

It’s okay to disagree, but don’t post fake posts.

I have yet to see a single legitimate “prediction” made by “Q-Anon” before an event. Vague prophecies, shifting timeframes, spurious photos, and post-hoc claims don’t count.

I’m not trying to “destroy” anything, I have not the time or inclination to engage in this Q-world.

If you can’t enjoy a tiny bit of fun then maybe it is your brain that is suffering inflammation. Mine is doing just fine, thanks.

1) Obama can never be President of the United States again. VP Pence would fill the spot.

2) The Republicans control both houses in congres and the U.S. Supreme Court

3) Mueller has nothing on President Trump and Russia. If he did, then he would have already done something by now. The fact that he is outside of the Russian investigation shows he is on a hunt for anything. The thing is Mueller was only suppose to be going after the Russian story. At this point Mueller is rouge, and should be fired, arrested and interrogate and charged for Uranium 1 scandal.

Mueller is up to his eyeballs in scandal. Hillary is up in her eyeballs, but she is being ignored. Mueller is pretending James O’Keefe of Project Veritas does not exist which is evidence of the DNC trying to steal the 2016 election. Mueller ignored Bill Clinton’s meeting on the tarmac with Lynch. Hillary got most of her money from Communist China and Saudi Arabia.

If the Deep State tries to remove President Trump while ignore all the other crimes.... I suspect a civil war will kick off. Everyone know Mueller is guilty as hell, Hillary is guilty as hell, etc...

Yes I pray for President Trump and the country. Without a doubt the Swamp are a bunch criminals running wild. If people ignore it, then it will work its way down to the streets. Rest assured.
