Jesus the implications are staggering.

No wonder they got a no-knock warrant!

And no wonder Trump wants Giuliani- he was a fierce mob prosecutor in SDNY!!! You’d want a guy that knows how these things go!!

Wake me up when the investigation hits Illinois.
Knock, knock

The search warrants on Cohen's locations asked for documents re TAXI MEDALLIONS as part of the aspects of his business dealings being investigated

This podcast link has many discussions of Michael Cohen and his ties to the Russian mob and his history

https://talkingpointsmemo.com/podcas...rshall-podcast

The most current entry (I listened to the RSS version) has info re Cohen, his boyhood ties to Russian mob figures and his FIL Fima Schusterman who has big taxi medallions business

He had also loaned between 20 and 40 million dollars to Yasya Shtayner whose family owns another big taxi firm in Chicago---the Chicago Medallion Management Company--over past 8 months...
Those were named in the search warrants...Cohen owns allegedly 22 of the 368 cabs managed by Chicago Medallion...

So yes--the investigation has come to Illinois...

And there are breaking stories in the news -- probably not Fox though-
So might have to stray into enemy territory to read/listen to them

It's tRump vs America. And America's gonna win. I'm on America's side in this little kerfuffle.

Be careful which side you choose.

America won the day Trump was elected.

Oh, so you have seen the warrant? You have a copy of it to share with us? By all means, share with the group.

Ho ho ho... interesting. I wont put much faith in it unless there starts to be more verification, but - that is certainly an interesting potential scenario. And the park bench meeting thing has struck me as extremely strange from the get go. What lawyer intentionally pisses off the judge like that, and why are all these sketchy people hanging with him while he is doing it. Very very odd...

This can’t be real....
"If those relationships are real"....
That's a joke right...
Michael Cohen owned an interest in the "social club" used by the Russian mob as a quasi headquarters--
His uncle owned the club and gave all the nieces and nephews an interest
Cohen owned his until recently according to his uncle----but there is no real proof he divested himself of it...
You know how the mob likes to keep things in the family...

Boyhood friend with Felix Sater whose father was an underboss for one of the largest, more powerful Russian mob families
Although Sater did turn federal witness and testified against Russian co-conspirators
He got a minor fine and no jail time

They are real and likely mostly unexplored...

Well it would have been nice if someone enclosed a tidbit from that article like:

"So Michael Cohen’s uncle Morton Levine’s social club was the headquarters of Russian organized crime in the U.S."

The most important thing in the article is the fact Cohen owned shares in this club and sold the shares just after Trump became POTUS

https://washingtonmonthly.com/2018/0...-donald-trump/

So whoever wrote this is a big circle jerk is wrong. Time and again we keep finding out there is more there there and that a nothing burger weighs 2 lbs and has 12 slices of bacon and cheese.

I already here the "Right" saying...

"So what if Cohen really went to Prague? You can't prove he was doing anything wrong."
