FBI raids Cohen's office, seizes Stormy Daniels documents

[Don2 (Don1 Revised)]

Wow, no wonder Hannity and Twitler have a morning call bromance. Hannity's a SlumLord Millionaire.

So the cheerleader against Clinton cronyism and big government has his own secret cabal and depends on government organizations like HUD to make a buck off property investments. Can't say I'm surprised but it's frustrating that there is a 99% chance nothing is going to happen to him.

He has broken journalistic standards by interviewing Carson without disclosing his support from HUD, but has he broken any laws?

How to put this; I'm pretty certain everything Hannity does falls under legal but morally reprehensible. I just wish that such acts had consequences. I'm not advocating jail, but the smug pontificating cunt could lose a few sponsors at least. Ideally, I would like to see clip after clip of reporters asking why he needs government handouts for his real estate deals whilst publicly criticizing such a socialist initiative. I know what we will more likely receive as justification is more "deep state" accusations and whatabouthillaryisms instead.

So Cohen is taking the fifth to avoid testifying in the Stormy Daniels lawsuit, citing the overlap with the ongoing criminal investigation by the NY Southern District US Attorney General office. Trump saying that only the guilty take the Fifth aside, this is the appropriate action for someone under investigation independent of his/her guilt so is not an admission of anything. But how does it affect the lawsuit? Does she automatically win? Will it be delayed?

Wasn't it just a few weeks ago that he was claiming that he was going to take a vacation on Stormy Daniels dime? Somehow I don't think that he'll be suing her any time soon.

Well, this explains why Cohen only has/had 3 clients. No one else would hire him, he's so fucking terrible.

So now Trump says that Cohen actual does represent him in the Stormy Daniels case, contradicting his previous statement right before the raid that he didn't know anything about it. So was he lying then or lying now?

Trump is the true victim because umm... witch hunt.

Oh, FFS, he was probably lying both times. Nobody else would be able to do that, right?

I was mocking Trump's claim that his lawyer won't flip. I figure, innocent people don't say that. They say, "there's nothing to find if they DO flip my lawyer."

Someone asked me how _I_ would feel if the Feds tried to flip MY lawyer.

"Go ahead! Flip him! You'll find two speeding tickets, an expired vehicle inspection, and the bank I got my first mortgage with thinks I sometimes use the pseudonym, 'Bruno.' I have no idea what a Fed will do with that information, but there you go."

But you can't pardon your lawyer if he did something illegal to "fix" your speeding ticket, right? Why would you expose such a very fine person as your lawyer to jail time, and ruin his career?

Here's the thing about presidential pardons: once you pardon someone, they can no longer plead the fifth.
