"Hey man don't Trump that book!"

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.

The silence is very revealing.
My first thought was it’s about the supposed threat made to Stormy Daniels
The liberty tree is waking up and is thirsty
"Hey man don't Trump that book!"
It is bc you are a Fogbow Leftist that you cannot grasp the meaning of the Deep State. Schumer promised that it would bring Trump down, and all you can do is protest that it couldn’t possibly have subsumed Sessions and Wray.
The FBI removed All of Cohen’s paperwork, which of course would include the paperwork of clients other than the President. Insanity
You say something really stupid like “there will never be any more elections” and expect no one to correct you? LOL
The world will go on. There will be elections. Somehow you will survive.
Andy McCarthy is on Mark Levin show now. He’s supposing the $ to Stormy was a “payment in kind”....campaign contribution.
Maybe. No one knows yet. But it’s serious.
“The world will go on. There will be elections. Somehow you will survive.”
Yeah, in a Country where the law means shit.
Exactly.. Why are people so sure this will be devastating to President Trump? Jeez Louise!
And I thought the Executive, and the Congress ran the United States. Silly me.
Quitters pull up stakes when the going gets tough.
You are a quitter.
I would not want to be in a foxhole with you.

Anyone defending Sessions now is not only an idiot; they’re a blind idiot.
Looks that way does't it.
“And I thought the Executive, and the Congress ran the United States. Silly me.”
Nope, its ‘Special Counsels’ and FBI agents.
I bet they make another dinner date.
Unless Cohen is the guy in the sketch. But wouldn’t they have to show him the warrant?
