Tucker Carlson is taking on the tough story of trans-gender women competing in the Boston Marathon. Doubt we’ll hear much from Faux on this story about Cohen.

They'll come up with something, I'm sure. It might take a while but the spinmeisters are on it.

If the documents obtained from Cohen indicate that Trump was informed by Cohen that the payment was made to Stormy Daniels he may be in a good bit more trouble than just losing his lawyer.

It depends what the warrant covers.

The Daniels matter and any related communications with Trump from reports I’ve seen.
From what I've seen so far it may also include any communications between Cohen and any Russian entities. So this could end up being much of nothing (especially if Cohen was extremely careful about what documentation he kept on file) or it could be the mother load.

On the subject of Tucker Carlson: the more time goes on, the more I'm convinced the "la la la, I can't hear you" approach of Fox News and other conservative outlets is going to backfire. They're going to wake up one day with Trump either in handcuffs or his administration in shambles (moreso than it is now, that is), and they'll have to explain that it was because of things they pretended weren't happening.

I mean, Fox will undoubtedly try to frame it as if it's a sinister, out-of-the-blue conspiracy, but they may have to provide a whole lot of missing backstory while they fire up their spin machine.

Ooh, let me try!

"Trump and Bolton have their hands full dealing with a horrific chemical weapons attack in Syria, where kids were choking to death, but instead all the Democrats and Deep State government operatives care about are porn stars and breaking into homes, scaring your wife, and trying to take a good man down. Obviously these Democrats care nothing about the Syrian children...what else would you expect from abortionists?? Obama left this mess on President Trump's lap and now he has to fix it."...Something something "what about Clinton?" Something something personal lawyers, something something Vince Foster, yadda yadda "both sides."

LOL, Fox would hire you immediately and pay you a lot. All you have to do is check your soul before entering their newsroom, I mean propaganda room.

Dunno how it will all turn out but I'm really enjoying watching them sweat. When federal prosecutors get a whiff of that funk they're like sharks who smell blood in the water.

That is true, but IF Trump was informed by Cohen on this and Trump knew in advance about obtaining a loan under false pretenses for Trump's benefit, then Trump would have conspired to commit bank fraud. Now that would be interesting.

Yeah I wrong about that bit. It was refered by Mueller to the SDNY office and they caused the execution of the warrants.

I'm hearing it wasn't referred at all. SDNY executed the searches and will act as the "clean team" that is necessary to sort out privileged attorney/client info in order to leave the special counsel team free from any non allowable information. This has nothing to do with Stormy Daniels. Or at most, that bit is small potatoes. Cohen is fucked.

FOX Breaking News!

DAY 632 of the Camp Leavenworth Accords. Trump administration officials today reported great strides in the peace accords between Mexico and Syria. It should only be another 10-20 years depending on behavior before MAGA for all is realized.

Back to you Sean!

Then whatever legal means to get these rats I'm all for. Cohen is a petty soul with a streak of an evil nature. Now Michael Avenatti can have at Cohen all he likes. He might even go on a vacation on the fees he'll make from suing Cohen.

If it's true that SDNY is just executing and cleaning, this is way worse for Cohen and Trump. Like orders of magnitude. The Stormy bit will be a footnote.

I saw a defense by a Trump stooge on CNN. They are going to try and conflate the SDNY investigation with Mueller's Russia investigation. They will ignore the fact these are two separate investigations so they can claim the Mueller out of control witch hunt.

Trump and his stooges would never let something like facts and truth stand in the way of their messaging.

Also, don't forget that Cohen voted for Obama in 2008. So if sh*t really hits the fan, he's practically an Obama appointee.

No Trump supporters yet? I'm guessing that means no "valid" talking points have been hammered out yet?

Am I the only one thinking that Mueller doesn't make this particular move without something up his sleeve to keep himself from being fired?

LOL, let's rewind to one year ago:
https://gop.com/rnc-announces-additions-to-rnc-finance-leadership-team/

RNC Announces Additions To RNC Finance Leadership Team

WASHINGTON – Today Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel and RNC Finance Chairman Steve Wynn announced additional members of the RNC’s Finance leadership team:

“I am delighted to announce the addition of these longtime friends of the Party and supporters of this administration to our Finance leadership team,” said Chairwoman McDaniel. “Elliott Broidy, Michael Cohen, and Louis DeJoy will serve as National Deputy Finance Chairmen, and Brian Ballard, Bob Grand, Gordon Sondland, Geoff Verhoff, and Ron Weiser will serve as Regional Vice-Chairmen. Together this team will employ their extraordinary talent and understanding of Americans across the country to maintain and build upon our unprecedented fundraising success.”

Steve Wynn - Resigned amid sexual harassment allegations

Elliott Broidy - pulled some shady financing from the UAE and now under investigation in Mueller probe, with Nader possibly throwing him under the bus

Michael Cohen - subject of an FBI raid

Can the RNC please find some honest campaign finance people? Or does it not matter, since all their candidates seem to be calling it quits this year?
