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.

All perfectly legal, if done to help the MSM-Democrats.

Basically, the case is crushed at this point. I can see judges just sitting there and shaking their head. Who signed the wire-tap would be the next question.

I’m only guessing but I’d take a guess that the NSA folks came to realize someone listened in on the president’s call, and tracked back to a wire-tap.

Based on how many fake news stories NBC was caught in just this week, I find it hard to believe this is accurate.

I starting to wonder if these are controlled leak designed to trap the leaker and discredit the fake news media that foolish enough to report it as “news”.

That Cohen was wire tapped has to be a leak especially if the captured a call with the President.

I'm betting that all this behind the scenes is Comey doing his moral duty to step in for God...and decide who's moral and who's not.

Absolutely, but there isn’t anyone in our courts or our government who thinks that the law applies to them.

The day that John F. Kennedy was assassinated my father said we are now on our way down. The decline of this country will not stop here.

My father had an 8th grade education having to leave school to support his family after his father died, but had a knack for nailing things.

How did the porn star’s attorney know about this and why is he also saying there are text messages? Is Mueller paying them both?

So, I guess Trump’s attorney was briefing him on these crimes: 1) getting the 20 percent of US uranium stolen by the Clintons for their Russian pals; 2) the diversion of funds by the Clinton Foundation from Haitian earthquake relief; 3) the destruction of evidence by Hillary Clinton and her lawyer and staff; 4) the missing 30,000 State Department emails; 5)the odd and unsolved murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich; 6) the Pakistani nationals who had all sorts of access on Capitol Hill to US secrets; 7) a series of trips by the former president Clinton to the convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s island where underage girls were routinely violated. Or aren’t we interested in this, Mueller? As Ben Stein said in the movie: “Mueller, Mueller?!!”
