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!
Mueller is where the info came from to get a warrant for Trump's Lawyer. So yes it was Mueller's so called investigation that is doing this but since they can not legally go after Cohen they "colluded" with NY Regressive to see if they can find a way to get to Trump this way. Deep state Regressives are pulling out every stop in a Evil version of the "Hail Mary"!
Mr. Mueller has nothing to do with the investigation of Cohen, yet you think Mr. Mueller is "fishing" for something in the investigation of Cohen....
Mueller-Magoo is the one who sent the FBI to commit this violation of civil liberties. Where's the sainted ACLU cabal of leftists on this?
You dipshit leftists are the predicted end-result of decades of shitty government gulags masquerading as "schools". It's simply not possible to get leftist retards to comprehend reality.
Hence the saying "Man, he's as dumb as a democRat."
