FBI raid of lawyer’s office

What could this be about????

He can direct the Attorney General to appoint a Special Prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clinton and her nonsense.

And if Sessions refuses, he can fire him and hire Giuliani, who will do it. If not Giuliani, then Scaramucci.

He can direct the Attorney General to end the rogue Mueller probe, to finish it and be done.

We both know the left will say Mueller was fired because he was starting to get close to an indictment.

What could this be about????

It's about Magoo-Mueller's desperation to keep the attention off the corrupt Odumbass regime he was a part of, which colluded with Russians to thwart and then frame Donald Trump.

It's also about the fact that Mueller hasn't discovered jack shit even tangentially-related to his charter and is scared to death he's done and exposed.

I'd like to see Congress say "your funding ends in 30 days, so shit or get off the pot, Magoo-Mueller."

desperation to keep the attention off the corrupt Odumbass regime he was a part of, which colluded with Russians to thwart and then frame Donald Trump.

LOL!!

Thanks for the laugh! "It's a frame-up!!!"

HAHAHA!!!

another fishing expedition?

Yep!

They have zip and are in desperation mode.

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.

You just proved my point! Thanks!

Yeah, I guess reading comprehension is a new concept for you.

The post "Trump calls FBI raid of lawyer’s office a ‘disgrace’"

This "raid" has nothing directly to do with the Mueller investigation.

You can grasp the concept of two separate investigations, right?

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!

This "raid" has nothing directly to do with the Mueller investigation.

"Exactly"

Mueller fishing for a way to get to Trump by any means necessary.

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....

You are the epitome of the low-information voter.

"Deep state Regressives"

Heh heh heh! - you're a kook!

Here are some actual facts about the "raid" and it's purpose:

But former U.S. attorney and deputy assistant attorney general Harry Litman said the way the FBI handled the raid actually showed the seriousness with which the Department of Justice treats material that might be protected by attorney-client privilege. "It’s very unusual for the Department of Justice to permit prosecutors to raid an attorney’s office and that’s because you want to be careful not to get privileged material," said Litman, who teaches at the UCLA School of Law and continues to practice at the law firm Constantine Cannon. In order to get the OK to raid Cohen's office, prosecutors would have had to get approval from high up — in this case from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein — and demonstrate to a federal magistrate both probable cause and the need for a warrant instead of a subpoena (such as a concern that Cohen might destroy evidence), Litman explained. In addition, the probable cause would have to relate to a crime centered on Cohen, not Trump or someone else. "You can’t use it as end run around to get to the client," Litman said. There will also be a "taint team" to examine everything before it is handed over to prosecutors to make sure that those conducting the case never see any material that might be "tainted" by attorney-client privilege. The only way the prosecution would be permitted to examine any material that might otherwise fall under the attorney-client umbrella is if it is determined to be part of a crime jointly undertaken by the attorney and the client. But for the privilege to be nullified, Litman said the taint team would have to get the approval of the court to present the material to the prosecution. In order to fall under attorney-client protection, the documents just have to be related to Cohen dispensing legal advice or gathering information in order to give that advice, Litman said. But merely having an attorney involved does not guarantee the protection. "It can’t just be that somebody with the bar degree is in the general vicinity," Litman said. Based on his experience with cases involving issues of attorney-client privilege, Litman said is likely that the prosecution never sees 80% or more of the documents.

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.

You're grasping at straws.....

This is and is nothing but a way to get to Trump by any means necessary. Everyone knows this and that's what is so bad about this situation. The pure corrupt way the government is used against those that do not follow them.

The never Trumpers like you and the demoncrap party are praying for an evil Hail Mary. Mueller has nothing because there is nothing.

I have to applaud trump for being so squeaky clean that the deepstate, Regressives in charge, the powers that be or what every name you would like to give them can't find leverage to oust Trump! You guys are pathetic!

I have to applaud trump for being so squeaky clean

LOL!!

Thanks for the laugh! you're a funny guy!

LOL!! Thanks for the laugh! you're a funny guy!

Truth makes you laugh? Damn you must be a never Trumper. I was guessing because of the your biases but it only makes sense.

For NYC and politician he is as squeaky clean as a person can get. I did not say he was perfect.

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.

We both know the left will say...

Yeah. They will. So what. They can scream until they are blue in the face. They have no POWER to DO anything but bitch. So fire Rosenstein and Mueller and let the Left scream and bitch. The Left is going to doom that ANYWAY, no matter what. And right now they have no power. Therefore, move now, with power. End the probe. Close it. Appoint a Special Prosecutor to get Clinton. Pardon Flynn and Manafort and that Dutch lawyer. Prosecutes Comey for leaks. Prosecute the FBI members who engaged in conspiracy. The Left will scream. They are in the minority’s and can’t win. Use the law to crush THEM, like they are trying to do.
