Let's try this again - Why the F.B.I. Raid Is Perilous for Michael Cohen — and Trump

If he's telling the truth, the Feds probably have the receipts. They seized nearly everything related to his practice and pretty much none of it was deemed privileged.

"If he did it, it wasn't that bad!"

Giuliani has become such a joke.  Serves him right though.

As far as Trump's presidency, it's working out just as I expected.

Because I'm sure he said that soooo many times while he was a prosector.

It's laughable. This guy was the king of "broken windows" policing as mayor.

Interesting read

One of the authors is Kellyanne's husband. 

Last week, in their case against Michael Cohen, federal prosecutors in New York filed a sentencing brief concluding that, in committing the felony campaign-finance violations to which he pleaded guilty, Cohen had “acted in coordination with and at the direction of Individual-1,” President Trump. And this week, prosecutors revealed that they had obtained an agreement from AMI, the parent company of the National Enquirer, in which AMI admitted that it, too, had made an illegal payment to influence the election. The AMI payment was the product of a meeting in which Trump was in the room with Cohen and AMI President David Pecker.

This all suggests Trump could become a target of a very serious criminal campaign finance investigation. In response, Trump has offered up three defenses. His first was to repeatedly lie. For quite some time, he flatly denied knowledge about the $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels. But now he seems to be acknowledging that he knew (since his personal company reimbursed Cohen for the payment, he ought to). Now Trump and his acolytes have turned to two other excuses: They point to an earlier case involving former senator John Edwards to argue that what Trump did wasn’t a crime; and they say, even if it was a crime, it wasn’t a biggie — there are lots of crimes, so what, who cares.
