WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal agents on Monday raided the office of President Donald Trump’s personal attorney Michael Cohen, seizing records on topics including a $130,000 payment made to porn actress Stormy Daniels.

A furious Trump, who in the last month has escalated his attacks on Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, said from the White House that it was a “disgrace” that the FBI “broke into” his lawyer’s office. He called Mueller’s investigation “an attack on our country,” prompting new speculation that he might seek the removal of the Justice Department’s special counsel

I wonder what the justification was for the subpoena.

[robroys woman]

Mueller is raising the bar to try and provoke his firing.

That is my take as well. The only thing they have is if they can get him to act out.

Shows you much Obama destroyed the US

This sort of illegal action will infuriate Trump’s supporters. I know I’m infuriated. And infuriated supporters are motivated voters.

To be honest with you, I'm not sure how many people even understand what has happened and what is going on outside of our little echo chamber here at FR. The fact the the entire surveillance capabilities of the United States was used to spy on a opposition presidential campaign is the most corrupt thing I have ever seen in government. Yet, barely a word from congress. I myself am almost numb from the events of today, and yet nothing from congress. They are all fine with what is happening.

It’s time we all make a trip to DC together.

“And infuriated supporters are motivated voters.”

Maybe. I’ve seen a bunch of posts of people saying they will never vote again - they are done and that sort of nonsense. Maybe they will vote once they cool off. :-)

Sessions is by far the worst mistake Trump has made.

Hillary: Lock him up!

[Blue House Sue]

They just broke in without a warrant.

[petitfour]

Sue them. Take them to court.

[fruser1]

" how do you get a court order to raid the lawyer’s office of the defendent your persecuting?"

Now you know why mueller has repeatedly said trump was not under investigation.

I have a strange feeling this entire charade is actually going to backfire big time on the Democrats. This sort of illegal action will infuriate Trump’s supporters. I know I’m infuriated. And infuriated supporters are motivated voters.

Let’s call this what it is: This is a third world “police state” tactic used to put fear in anyone who stands up to the Obama deep state, DOJ, and FBI treasonous conspiracy to destroy the constitution of the United States. The operatives still running the DOJ, FBI and the intelligence agencies are serving notice that no one had better try to prosecute and punish this traitorous cabal and that they are still running this country, in conjunction with the marxist left and the democrat party.

This is chilling and should galvanize and mobilize all conservative constitutionalists to demand that the feckless congress end this Mueller witch hunt and to demand the arrest and prosecution of James Comey, Loretta Lynch, AndrewMcCabe, Peter Stroczk, et al and do it immediately.
Imagine being Devin Nunez, and the rest of the freedom caucus, and watching a midnight raid on the president of the United States’ personal attorney’s office and home on the heels of the Manafort raid. If we don’t get these guys right now we are perilously close to witnessing a successful coup by the democrat deep state.

Trump is in serious trouble, will get impeached.

LOL, go back on vacation Maxine , I know it’s you

Maybe they will vote once they cool off. :-)

Only for the Media-approved candidate. :)

At least we'll get US voter turnout to 98%...

Wonder if it will be a misdemeanor or a felony to fail to vote in USVenezuela?

I’m not too concerned about the raid. Everything thrown at Trump turns into a reversal. The Russia collusion crap has really turned on the Democrats and Hillary. That shoe will drop soon enough.

The Stormy Daniels thing is a major yawn. I think when all the facts are known, today’s raid will be a plus for PDJT.

I don’t think Trump should fire anyone over the raid. He should fire several at DOJ/FBI for not delivering documents to Congress. That’s an easy call as far as I’m concerned.

[Mouton]

Mueller is a former officer. Trump should activate him and send him to investigate the gas attach in Syria. Since he is such a thorough investigator he should be the one to do it.

[Bshaw]

I was waiting for Loretta’s public explanation before the IG report. So everyone can line up their stories, as best they’re able...

[Fedora]

Can Trump as President sue the FBI for violating his civil rights?

[Blue House Sue]

“Can Trump as President sue the FBI for violating his civil rights?”

Now, that’s a great idea.

The Discovery phase of the case would be fascinating.
