Federal agents are stealing and reading communications between an attorney and his client, but the liberals and Fredocons are cool with it because they don't like the client.

It appears that Robert Mueller and Rod Rosenstein may have conspired to target Michael Cohen in order to seize attorney-client communications between Trump and his personal lawyer. If so, we have entered uncharted territory.

Buckle up.

 

 

 

 

American trust in federal institutions will not get better

 

if Hillary gets away with felony mishandling of classified information and Trump goes down for paying off a porn star.

The victimization whining of poor Republicans will know no end!! Waaaaaa! So unfair!

Hannity is great tonight! Alan Dershowitz was funny, never tried saying Trump is innocent, but tried saying, well, this could happen, that could happen, then suggested Cohen could turn on Trump. 

 

The other her guests are screaming that Hillary hasn't had her house raided! Ya, sure, maybe they will find the emails Russia had

Mueller investigating $150,000 donation Ukrainian steel titan made to Trump's foundation in 2015 for 20 min video talk Trump gave to conference in Kiev.

 

Michael Cohen arranged the payment. Trump was running for Republican nomination at the time.

 

 

The same family has donated more than $13 MILLION to the Clinton Foundation since 2006.

 

It’s in the NYT article.

 

Remember, facts matter, always.

As I said — the best way for you to piss off people is to take a sh*t on your dinner table, and eat it. Liberals would be omg sooooo mad! You should totally do it! Lolz!

 

I have a hard time believing you could outsmart the back of a cereal box.

 

They will. 

 

But their numbers will be fewer & fewer as the picture comes into sharper focus, especially after Mueller finishes and lays it all out. Then again... I'm afraid even that might even too charitable and optimistic for the die-hard MAGA hats.

 

We'll see.

From what I read on a few legal blogs (I know, I know) there are many steps that this should have gone through before a warrant was issued as well as a "dirty team" separate from the "clean team" and someone else overseeing the collection,  running the investigation to go through whatever was taken from Cohen's office, etc. 

 

Yeah those are the exact steps they would have followed. There's no reason to think that they weren't followed. Here's a former federal prosecutor explaining the whole thing:

The warrant will be made public at some point so we'll have more details eventually. It had to pass an extremely stringent review to get authorized. The district attorney who signed off it on it is a registered Republican that Trump personally appointed. There's no reason to think the normal process wasn't followed here. Just a lot of Trump loyalists desperately trying to make it seem like he's suffered a horrible injustice.

April, eh? Sounds like a code word. April showers?

I wonder what the American Bar Association's and the ACLU's reactions will be (soft-worded finger wag at best). How many clients does Michael Cohen have that would have triggered a Mueller referral?  I get that there are procedures in place, and I get that these procedures were likely followed, but talk about a bad precedent.  

 

Anyone who who hates Trump and is crowing today should remember that the karma wheel comes around, and this weapon (if upheld) could and will some day be used against anyone.  Recrimination is a B word.  This smacks of an attack on the President, and it diminishes the office of the President no matter how odeous the officeholder is.  The lack of restraint is remarkable, and this looks 100% like a fishing expedition against someone who is unliked because he's an ass.  While it is indisputable that the President is an ass, it is not a reason to target him.  It also isn't justifiable to continually try to take down an office-holder just because he doesn't share a progressive platform.

 

The only thing that would get me to review my opinion that this is fishing for Trump is if the warrant listed individual clients, specific communications and actual files of clients of Cohen not named Donald Trump.  Even so, attorney-client privilege is one of the most sacrosanct protections (husband/wife, Doctor/patient, clergy, attorney/client) against side-door entries by prosecutors.  Even if Cohen's files are vetted into "privileged" and "not privileged", there's still a team of people reviewing communications that they've got no right to review.  Otherwise, this is a sad, disappointing, day.

This "investigation" is more disturbing than anything it's turning up. I realize it's hard to keep the big picture in perspective when the only picture in your sights is getting Trump, but nothing good is coming out of this for anyone.

 

It's kind of funny how the (*^*&%^$^#wing of the left gets orgasmic every time this witch hunt turns up dirt on someone connected to Trump even though said dirt has nothing to do with him. It's kind of like getting off on a FG when you're down 50-3.

Yeah.  I guess you can say the difference is Hillary was never president.  The country will suffer from all of this.  Trump looked more frazzled than I've seen him and that's what a Special Counsel does to a president (see Nixon).  I'd feel bad for him if he didn't spurn the Special Counsel to begin with by botch the reason for the Comey firing.  A lot more is going to come out of this as I find it hard to believe that they raided the offices and home of Cohen over $130,000 hush money that may have violated campaign finance laws.  Seems a little extreme.

 

For those who are giddy right now, you do realize if Trump is impeached and eventually resigns (still unlikely), you get Mike Pence.  A fundamentalist far right ideologue who once described himself as "Rush Limbaugh on decaf" who vehemently supported the Iraq War despite growing evidence of no weapons of mass destruction.  He also won't say stupid things and have all the drama attached to him making it more likely a Republican majority in all three branches will get more done.

These Trump hating morons who are orgasmic over yet ANOTHER off the rails revolation of this investigation have no idea the damage this **** causes to the country.

 

All this because they can’t stand a sitting President and can’t get over Hillary’s loss.

 

These same liberals go around calling Trump supporters every name in the book also.

 

if Trump gets impeached, there is going to be a civil war in this country and it’s going to get very ugly in America.

 

Sad, very sad.

Yes, people are aware who the Vice President is, but thanks for the heads up, Doc.

 

I know this doesn't compute for most Republicans but.... there are people in the world who actually have consistent morals & want to see justice served, as opposed to simply supporting whatever they need to when their "team" is winning.

 

Where are any of the so-called "principled" conservatives that endlessly attacked Obama & Clinton over the years? You'd think we'd be hearing from them now more than ever.

 

The small government guys? Nothing but a murmur as the national debt skyrockets.

The law and order types? Quiet about Trump's endless attacks on the FBI.

The tough military dudes? Nothing about Trump mocking gold star families and demanding Soviet-style military parades.

The tough on Russia guys? Suddenly, Trump sucking up to Putin is actually good.

The fiscal hawks? Nada about tax cut debt. 

The "Obama doesn't have experience" crowd? No complaints from them this time. 

The "family values" types? Not a peep about Trump being a serial adulterer and overall creep.

The "Hillary's emails" screamers? They'll cut their own hand off before discussing all the corners Trump cut, because he's their guy.

 

Does anyone else remember when conservatives were all parroting that dude who was always on Fox News, the guy who wrote "Clinton Cash"? Will we hear from him on Trump getting $150,000 for a 20-minute Skype chat to a Ukranian steel magnate? https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/04/09/us/politics/trump-mueller-ukraine-victor-pinchuk.html#click=https://t.co/yydBI0xMq4  Or is Fox News too busy with the horny pandas?

 

Trump's election revealed many things about our country. One lesson was that conservatism in America isn't an ideology. Not truthfully. It is an ideology with exactly as much depth as their "Liberal Tears" coffee mugs. In practice, conservatism is whatever it needs to be, to serve the purpose of criticizing anyone who isn't "them." And it works. Republicans radicalize the rubes, scare 'em out to the polls so they vote on guns, abortions, Mexicans, whatever...  all for no better reason than so the Kochs can get richer.

 

If we can only have two parties in America, it'd be swell to have better options than "abject evil" and "Democrats."

Tucker Carlson did a one minute bit at the end of his show about pandas if you bothered to look it up.  So it must be bad because Carlson doesn’t tow the Dem company line.

 

Thanks anyways.

Im gonna make it easy for you trumptards cause I know its a real struggle for you given the fact that most of you didnt make it past pre-school. This means PRISON and IMPEACHMENT(Sorry. Didnt mean to throw those big fancy words at you) Prison for Cohen for sure. Probably just impeachment for Traitor Trump. Ill keep cheering on a war hero(Bob Mueller) as he fights to put a corrupt five time draft dodger behind bars. You can all get back to beating your wives and posting racist rants on the KKK website. Have a great white trash day at the trailer park.
