    Except he didn’t request the warrant, didn’t conduct the raid and isn’t prosecuting this. Other than that...! Lol

    What trolling. What is the search warrant for? The only thing we know Cohen to be involved in is the Stormy Daniels thing.

    Next avenue of attack. If it isn't any clearer that there's no collusion, I don't know what is. Mueller is telling you in big bold letters: I will look for anything, ANYTHING. More disgraceful for that is a warrant being granted for execution of the raid. At the least, the Daniels investigation should be handled by a different prosecutor, but who cares about legalities at this stage.

    Those who wanted the POTUS to have something against him, will get their wish. However, this also fulfills the fear I had: This investigation, is a hack investigation. If Congress follows through on it, and immorally impeaches the President(can't say illegally, since its within their purview.) I will not acknowledge the 2020 President.

    Let me repeat: Regardless of democrat, or republican I will not acknowledge the 2020 President. Because as far as I recognize: This is an attempt of usurpation of power. And even though it will succeed through the legal courts, it will not succeed in the heart of this American. I will not acknowledge the next President as my president. The 2024 President will likely not have any involvement or public stances thereof. But the 2020 nominee to be President will be disdained by me in a clear usurpation of power.

    Let me say more things for the record:
    Had the POTUS been indicted for actual crimes, and evidence of crimes I would've been okay with that.
    I will of course continue to follow the laws of our country.

    I just won't give a political vote of confidence to someone who effectively stole power IMO. And if #resisters can claim resistance, I can also claim that I do not recognize these actions to be at least worthy actions of being taken.

    If prosecutors can start raiding client’s lawyers and seizing privileged information, nobody is safe. This is beyond crazy.

    I don’t know what instigated means in this context. Mueller had nothing to do with this raid.

    That would be the FEC and why would Mueller be looking in the Stormy Daniels thing which is all we know of Cohen?

    Don’t forget that Michael Cohen is also the deputy national finance chair of the RNC......

    This is VERY interesting because it means their IS an investigation into the the Stormy Daniels payoff......

    A referral. So mueller sent him info and he found it concerning enough to request a warrant. When’s trump firing this corrupt prosecutor?
    Meuller is not the prosecutor here because it’s not part of his investigation

    I find this to be a problem in our justice system(and not just for Trump in particular.) No-knock warrants should only be reserved for dangerous felons or those who haven't cooperated(and Cohen's lawyer has stressed the cooperation for exactly this reason.) If judges are willing to listen to less-than-stellar arguments to give no-knock warrants, then we have problems.

    He’s not. He found something in the course of his investigation, and handed that off to the US Attorneys office in New York.

    Cohn is a Deputy National finance chair for the RNC. This is very interesting.......

    I agree with your assessment that the FBI has determined that the client attorney provelege. Evil has been breached.

    Well, based on the right-wing's reaction to the Mueller investigation, you guys have had a bountiful catch of red herring over the years. Be a shame if the same poles were used against you, wouldn't it?
