Lou Dobbs starts in five minutes but I… I… I just can’t. Sorry.
Currently the top story of FoxNews.com: TRUMP BASHES FBI RAID President: ‘Disgraceful’ that feds are targeting Cohen, under scrutiny over Stormy Daniels payments
There is probably a car chase in, uh, Florida that, uh… Obama… is chasing the deep state… And, like, tariffs are good for farmers…
Ah fuck it. Parody and extremism being indistinguishable and all.
Napolitano is saying that the judge must have had strong evidence that a crime had been committed to issue the warrant. No succor in Fox News, I’m afraid.
Awww…
Yay, loophole!
Thank you, brave souls for having a look there!
Or, according to Popehat, there could be a firewalled attorney who reviews the seized documents such that the FBI team only gets to see the documents that aren’t covered by privilege.
I think Jack McCoy once said that there’s a difference between being a criminal lawyer and a criminal lawyer.
Picture from CNN of Trump making that pronouncement during the Syria briefing. The pic is notable because of the background – this must be the only known picture of The Fearsome Mustache apparently smiling. It’s not clear if the The Fearsome Mustache is amused, bemused, or just flabbergasted by his boss.
I thought that was Jesse Pinkman.
Trump sort of does: say that everything is a partisan lie being wielded by his political enemies. That’ll play to his base, but whether it’ll be enough remains to be seen.
We know about the hush payments to cover up Trump’s extra-marital affairs. I think we’re about to find out all the other things Cohen did to sanitize Trump’s past in the run up to the 2016 election.
Wait, come to think of it, smiling a lot is what sycophants do. Yes, yes it is!
The NY Times article says his apartment is under renovation, so nothing odd about it.
Wouldn’t be surprising; they really want to be sure that what they’re doing is above suspicion. (To reasonable people, anyway.)
That means Meuller has him scared. Trump is used to people he can threaten and bully into submission, people who fear him or are owned by him. Now he is being forced to deal with someone on an equal playing field, without having a gross advantage and he hates it. Between Mueller and Stormy, they have him freaked out because he isn’t in charge.
It isn’t his rules this time and he can’t just change (I mean break) them to suit himself.
Fuck him. And Cohen too.
They should both go to prison, and they should have gone long ago.
The truth. Just wait until those stubby little fingers get on Twitter tonight. There’s going to be WORDS in ALL CAPS and poor sentence structure. UNFAIR.
Didn’t Bannon say that 100 women had been paid off?
Also Cohen threatens people, so who knows what threats he has made for Trump’s benefits.
Also supposedly there were 130k in suspicious payments made to the Trump org around the same time Cohen used 130k in his own money to pay off Daniels.
He was quoting Jack McCoy.
(Seriously, that line has been part of my mental detritus since way before Breaking Bad came along.)
I wonder if Trump saying “I didnt know about any payment” a few days ago triggered this in some way, by contradicting something or something.
