    • FBI agents raided the offices of Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's personal lawyer, on Monday.
    • Agents reportedly seized evidence related to Cohen's payment of $130,000 to porn star Stormy Daniels on the eve of the 2016 presidential election.
    • Daniels has said the money was in exchange for her silence about her affair with Trump. The White House denies such an affair occurred.
    The raid came after federal prosecutors in New York City obtained a search warrant following a referral from special counsel Robert Mueller, Cohen's lawyer said.

    Mueller is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and related issues, including possible collusion by officials in the Trump campaign with Russians.

    NBC News reported that the raid occurred at a law office at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, located in Midtown Manhattan. Vanity Fair additionally reported that FBI agents also visited a room at the Loews Regency Hotel in Manhattan, where Cohen has been staying and executed the warrants there.

    A doorman at the Regency said, "They are still here," when asked about the FBI.

    =================================

    Thanks Trump... For forcing one of the nation's most essential agencies to go after your porn-star fantasies. Having a president like you is such a shame. I think it was Giftedone, to whom I told Trump would have backpedaled when he said the US would leave Syria soon.

    Chasing after the Stormy Daniels story because he cant find anything relevant to collusion with Russia. Probably going to argue that the payment was a campaign contribution.

    lol....
    They just got that Dutch lawyer send to jail with a plea bargain. He denied under oath that he is a direct link between the Trump campaign and Russian intelligence officers, and the FBI proved otherwise.

    True.

    What Muellers been doing can be described only by his "patriotism"... Some people live for making sure "the flag is still there"...

    Made up BS. Just like others he simply lied to the FBI about his involvement with Gates' and Manafort's political clients in Ukraine.

    Diddling strippers still isn't against the law. Neither is paying them to keep their mouth shut. What law do you refer to?

    You don't know the law. We are talking about illegal campaign contributions. Paying prostitutes is against the law.

    Paying prostitutes to shut their mouth is not against the law. And Cohen would be the one violating the laws on campaign contributions and even if Trump had knowledge and was involved, Hillary and Obama campaigns have violated similar laws. The campaigns pay a fine and they continued on as normal

    What Clinton and Obama may have done can be investigated.

    We are talking about the most criminal divisive president in our history: Donald J. Trump.

    That's what I said Einstein. In fact in my first post in this thread

    No need. They've already paid the fines.

    String together a few words if you can, detailing what it is you don't think I get.

    FEC Slaps Obama Campaign With Massive Fine for 2008 Violations
    The fines are among the largest ever levied on a presidential campaign by the FEC
    https://www.theblaze.com/news/2013/...st-fines-ever-levied-on-presidential-campaign

    That was for $1.8 MILLION in contributions. $130,000 in contributions to Trump is relatively chump change.

    Which makes it worse, because the exploitation and mistreatment was by JFK, not herself, as it is with a porn star.

    Tell you what: have your boy Donnie show up in court and plead guilty to soliciting the services of a prostitute and we’ll forget the whole thing. It’s not a felony.

    Oh , and your defense is “the other side did it tooo, waaaaah”.
    LMAO

    Maybe in opposite world . No human can say that with a straight face after the last 8 years. Are you ever for real ? Like candid camera on a forum .. wow, I need a shot or 7 of whisky. Maybe I'm dreaming ...
    Most criminal and divisive president in our history ... is this how the anti Americans change history ? Keep telling the same no fact bs over and over and over. Opposite of the truth in most situations.

    What's the crime ?? What justification is there for the FBI confiscating attorney-client confidential information ??

    How does this connect to the Russians ??
