Cohen was very complementary about the agents who performed the search of his premises...
Didn't sound very much like Jewish shop holders after the night of broken glass...

In fact his fairly complaisant attitude makes me think he did a rigorous house cleaning months ago--
So there many not be any grains of gold in there to find...

There seem to be two factions on this thread.

On one hand, we have the group that incorrectly believes that Mueller was appointed to "get" Trump at all costs and that his remit is enabled by tens of thousands of conspiratorial "deep state" agents including numerous recent Trump appointees (presumably anti-Trump sleeper cells), career Assistant US Attorneys hired long before Trump got into the political game, members of Trumps cabinet, the Attorney General and Assistant Attorney General (both Trump appointees and Republicans), numerous FBI agents, dozens former prosecutors who left their high-paying jobs to investigate Russian interference, the FBI, the NSA, the CIA, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, both Houses of Congress, liberals, elite Republicans, the entire mainstream media except for Fox News, and Federal judges. These people also reject any evidence of wrongdoing, irrespective of its source.

On the other hand, we have a group of people who seem to generally support the rule of law, have read the source document that charges Mueller with investigating collusion with Russia by the Trump campaign (but not necessarily Trump himself, and certainly not to "get" Trump), and take a "lets wait and see what evidence is revealed" approach given that the raid on Cohen's office seems to have been performed using the proper procedure.

Its fascinating, really.

If Cohen were smart, he would not have kept records of anything illegal in the first place.

On the other hand, ...

Left? ... LEFT?


Have you been paying attention?!?

Do you know anything about U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York?

Your post is just a feeble rant ... get a clue.

Overlooking the fact that this alleged relationship occurred in 2006, which has no bearing whatsoever on the election, Bimbo herself said that she would not have signed a hush agreement in 2016 had she known that Trump himself was not a party to it. Further, if Cohen paid HER, out of his own funds, there is no connection to any campaign funds.

This whole sordid thing only matters to the leftist media because of the salacious aspects of it and they think it will somehow take down Donald Trump. Except it won't. It's not like he was raping interns in the Oval Office and leaving stains on blue dresses.

The gestapo FBI & DOJ think they will find something that will flip Cohen, but there is no probable cause for a raid in the first place. And raiding an attorney's office like he's Tony Montana is uncalled for and possibly illegal. The whole thing will blow up in the liberal's faces just like everything else. A first year law student could make mince meat out of this one.

Do you need reminded, yet again, that REPUBLICANS are the ones who signed off on this FBI raid?


Do you?

Do you?
The level of brainwashing from the conservative propaganda machine is truly astonishing.
To blame this investigation on the left is just bizarre.

You mean RINOS. George Bush is a Trump hater. Do you understand that?

Finally, a mature response in this thread

What irks me is when I keep hearing "the investigation has not found collusion! Witch hunt!"

The investigation isn't over... maybe they will find something... maybe they won't.
