Should I have added a "sarcasm" tag?Except, the guy who authorized the Cohen raid was Trump's own nominee to replace Preet Bharara. Also, he was Rudy Guliani's law partner. He's as far from Deep State you could possibly go.
The President has already claimed “WITCH HUNT!!!”
“I’m disappointed with Sessions”
I may set my alarm for 3am to see what happens
I'm wondering if he is going to directly fire Mueller. I don't accept "he can't do that" as proof against it. "I'm the President and I don't care about DOJ regs. STFU". Yeah he could do this.
Hahaha, just heard it’s from a Trump appointed AG who ordered the search, I think I heard he worked with Giuliani too.
Mueller did not make the raid. He saw evidence of a crime that was outside the purview of his Russia investigation. RM referred it to the NY US attorney. They had to have probable cause to get the warrant signed off. It was signed by a judge by....wait for it.........Oh yeah it would.
What I'd like to know is on what basis is Mueller making the raid? It's not a Russia thing but peripheral. He has broad authority to investigate other crimes which come to light while following his mandate, but how did he get to Cohen via Stormy? Enquiring minds want to know!
The bank fraud would stem from how he obtained the loan and what he told the bank about the transfers. I’m doubting he secured the line of credit on the basis of paying a porn actress off for a client.You have one source, and that may be right but campaign finance violations could be all about how Stormy was handled.
Bank fraud? Dunno anything about that, but Stormy should be doing the happy dance since this directly impacts that and Cohen doesn't have to be convicted of a crime. If he acted in egregious ways contrary to standards he could be drinking will Bill Clinton and talking about the good ole days of lawyerin' before they were disbarred.

A newly appointed Trump judge.

Oh, stormy, oh, stormy, bring back that sunny day
Deep state conspiracy, obviously.
Cohen? Cohen who?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.
Does this mean Trump is in trouble?
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.Yes, in that he likely just lost his long time lawyer.
