Here is the legal opinion of several attorneys from CREW
https://www.citizensforethics.org/
The evidence sought by investigators reportedly relates to bank fraud and campaign finance violations, both of which primarily point to one thing. Cohen apparently used a home equity credit line to borrow the $130,000 he paid Stormy Daniels for her silence just weeks before the 2016 election. If Cohen lied to obtain credit from a federally insured financial institution, that is a felony punishable by up to 30 years’ imprisonment. And because the payment was likely an in-kind contribution to the Trump campaign, it could constitute a willful violation of campaign contribution limits, a separate felony punishable by up to five years’ imprisonment.
That the investigation of Cohen was apparently referred by special counsel Robert Mueller to the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York—a Trump appointee—is an early indication that at this point, the matter is not directly related to the Russia investigation. But that doesn’t mean Trump’s exposure is any less serious. Cohen knows where the LLCs are hidden. He’s been at the center of Trump’s financial universe for decades. If he is as exposed as he seems on the Daniels payment, one wonders what information he might be able to offer prosecutors—including Mueller—in exchange for a deal.

I'm sorry this so called "Investigation" was all about collusion between Trump and Russia. They found non and now its about fishing to find something to hang Trump with. You just proved my point! Thanks!
This "raid" has nothing directly to do with the Mueller investigation.
Exactly! This is why you proved my point, AGAIN.
Mueller fishing for a way to get to Trump by any means necessary. They used Mueller's investigation to open up another side investigation to keep Regressives happy that something might break and be used against Trump. Again your biases are huge.
If you call this justice then you would love Cuba or Russia!
