Feds wanted ‘Access Hollywood’ tape evidence during Trump lawyer raid

FBI agents sought records tied to President Trump’s infamous “Access Hollywood” recording when they raided the law office and hotel room of his personal lawyer, according to a new report Wednesday.

The warrant that authorized Monday’s searches also allowed the feds to seize evidence showing whether lawyer Michael Cohen tried to suppress damaging information about Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign, the New York Times reported.

Cohen has admitted paying porn actress Stormy Daniels $130,000 as part of agreement signed 11 days before the election in which Daniels agreed not to discuss her claim of having slept with Trump in 2006.

Both Cohen and Trump have said Trump was not aware of the deal.

Trump was the star of “The Apprentice” when he was caught on a hot microphone bragging to Billy Bush, then the host of “Access Hollywood,” about how his fame enabled him to kiss women and “grab them by the p—y.”

Trump has lived with the ‘gloves off’ since he was about 20.

He’s no soft touch.

Beat me to it by a few seconds; this DOES sound like classic blackmail to me, yet not even pro-Trump people bring it up. Maybe I just don’t understand the technical meaning of blackmail.

So now crude locker room talk that probably was simply Donald Trump trying to show he was one of the guys is now legal, what? Evidence?

I saw on MSNBC last night where they asked “Will Donald Trump crack”?

I can already say: no he won’t. Not that ole WWE/WWF rassler who busted chairs over his stagemates’ heads. A pantywaist he is not.

Will Congress fail in a political avalanche and impeach-and-convict him? God only knows. But it looks like God has more angels on duty with Donald than we might think. This looks poised to all bounce right off of his hide and go away with the next media obsession.

What he said was true but please let’s not forget they were laughing like crazy and engaging in silliness. He wasn’t being serious. Nor has he ever been portrayed as a Harvey Weinstein type who went around grabbing women. To the contrary women always say he is polite.

In private, no he isn’t boorish. All this banter is public show with tongue in cheek.

Mueller has jumped the shark with this action.

The situation has reached the point that if Trump was to hold a press conference, go over the fact that everyone admits there was collusion, detail the corruption of the FBI, DoJ, Hillary’s acknowledged criminal conduct, Uranium One (Including Mueller’s role in it), Clinton pay-to-play when she was SoS, Clinton Foundation fraud, money laundering, Comey’s leaks which Comey admitted was to instigate an Special Prosecutor along with Trump enemies hired by Mueller (and don’t forget Rosenstein’s hiring of Mueller and Rosenteien’s involvement in the FISA corruption and cover up), the public would easily support a Trump decision to fire Sessions, Rosenstein, Mueller, Strozk, and Page; among others.

No honest legal authority can question that this group of people are trying to unseat a lawfully elected President through Treason and Sedition.

Mueller has gone a bridge too far, and no one can deny it with his unconstitutional raid on Cohen. Mueller is unlawfully intimidating a number of witnesses.

Trump should order the release of all the FISA files and the 1.2 million documents immediately. If Sessions, Wray, and Rosenstein hinder the immediate release, they should be fired immediately.

All Trump said was that when you are rich and famous, women will let you do things to them, that they wouldn’t let other men do. It’s 100% True.

Yep, Trump said a celebrity could do it Kimmel proved a near nobody could do it ... in public.

When you are as desperate as Mueller is now it is.

If the feds were after that kind of evidence, then, there was and is a much richer target for that kind of campaign wrongdoing on the Hillary campaign. In fact, I'm pretty sure that there is/was a lot of that kind of wrongdoing during Obama's 2 campaigns.

We should be getting a new special counsel to investigate the Hillary and her campaign. Another for Obama. And another for Clinton's 2 campaigns. Crimes were committed, and I don't think there is a statute of limitation for criminal activity during campaigns. So, if Trump did anything wrong, Hillary is a much richer target for investigations, and so are Obama and Bill Clinton. We could end up with end-to-end TV/radio coverage all day long with so many special counsel investigations.

This is how the leftist crowd breaks the law “legally”. Mueller caused this, but had Rosenstein do it as cover because it’s outside of Mueller’s authority. If the information is not shared with Mueller, all this talk about Mueller would be pointless. A total sham.

“Delirious” is still one of the funniest things ever.

He couldn’t get away with half that stuff today.

Treason and sedition nah. More like just trying to gossip and nag and innuendo him out of the office.

They don’t understand the Rassler. All this panting, overly earnest talk from the talking heads is his game on them, while they think it’s their game on him.
