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!
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."
Mueller is the one who sent the FBI to commit this violation of civil liberties.
Mr. Mueller cannot compel the FBI to do anything, he does not have the authority to do so.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who is Mr. Mueller's boss and works at the pleasure of DD45, and the Dump-appointed judge, would both say that you are full of shit when it comes to understanding what IS and what IS NOT a violation of civil liberties.
Mr. Mueller cannot compel the FBI to do anything, he does not have the authority to do so.
Yeah, he just threw it over their transom, hoping against the odds, wishing on a star that those corrupted 'Rats might do exactly what he wants them to do.
That might be even dumber than a democRat, which is plowing terra incognito.
