The FBI executed a no-knock warrant on the office of President Donald Trump’s longtime personal lawyer Michael Cohen on the orders of the U.S. Attorney’s office of the Southern District of New York. During the raid on Monday federal agents seized documents, including tax forms and privileged attorney, client communication, according to Cohen’s attorney attorney Stephen Ryan.
“The decision by the US attorney’s office in New York to conduct their investigation using search warrants is completely inappropriate and unnecessary,” Ryan said.
“It resulted in the unnecessary seizure of protected attorney-client communications between a lawyer and his clients.”
The raid is related to a $130,000 payment made by Cohen to porn star Stormy Daniels to buy her silence prior to the 2016 election. Daniels has claimed she had sex with Trump 12 years ago.
Trump stated he knew nothing about the $130,000 payment made to Daniels.
An earlier version of this post was corrected to show that special prosecutor Robert Mueller did not order the raid.
Lol and the plot thickens! Paying off someone for silence would most likely be against the law!!
Lol Add this to their problems.
Republicans Giving Up House Seats At A Rate Not Seen In Decades
https://www.yahoo.com/news/republicans-giving-house-seats-rate-180921706.html
This is the NY State AG, not Mueller. This is a State crime and may effect Cohn’s law license. I think that’s what they’re going for, to strip him of his license. If he loses his license then he’s no longer the Pres. attorney. Remember Nipsey Russell – Loose lips sink ships? That’s what Cohn did….talked too much.
Trump threw Cohn under the bus when he said “talk to my attorney.”
*Birdman Hand Rub*
When your lawyers tell you too keep quiet you should. The raid never would have happened if Trump never said he didn’t know about the paynents.
AirBurgers
This thot took money and spent the money. Case closed. This why I hate thots. Now watch still gonna end up in trouble for agreeing to the amount and spending it. Greedy whore.
Actually only if the act is criminal, its was not a bribe and more than likely she approached them which be extortion or blackmail or both. The thing is if you dnt want to be quiet then dnt take money and spend it.
wat this mean? wat am i being distracted from?
He constantly calls Hillary Crooked when he the biggest unattractive crook in the planet!
Thanks. I was informed of this by a reader.
The Blue Wave is coming.
Then comes impeachment 2019.
If he had kept his peen in his pants he wouldnt have had to worry about this.
It doesn’t matter that she took the money and spent it as she is not a presidential candidate or sitting president.
It matters that Trump orchestrated the giving of the money for a bribe because Trump carries the burden of presidential credibility.
Stormy Daniels is not denying what she is, she is simply alleging she was paid to be silent about their affair and she is telling the truth because he did sleep with her.
These times we are living in make my tummy upset.
Had he just answered the questions at the debate like a man with Hillary instead of acting like a bytch bringing those 4 women like they were on the Price Is Right talking about Bill indiscretions. Dump wouldn’t be going thru this mess.. Karma is a bytch. Now watch he starts a war with NK to take away from the attention of this mess. It is funny how the same rules they used against Bill they are using it against him. But but but Hiliary. Should have left it alone.
The bribe was paid before Trump was elected.
Trump did not lie under oath. He lied to a reporter. He can say whatever he wants to a reporter.
This is such a waste of taxpayer money. Just face it. Hillary Clinton is not going to be president. Her husband was impeached for lying about about a BJ. All of this silliness behind a porn star/ prostitute who wants more money. WHO CARES?? Been there done that with the Clintons already.
Which debate? Oh the one that the DNC gave HIllary questions beforehand. Don’t throw stones. Ya girl is full of dirt and her impeached hubby! Monica and the blue dress. “I did not have sexual relations with that woman.”
“Mueller has previously stated President Trump is not under any criminal investigation.”
————————————————
The headline of a WaPo article on 4/3 said “Mueller told Trump’s attorneys the president remains under investigation but is not currently a criminal target.”
There’s a difference.
Hillary may not be President and Dump ain’t Presidential. Bill got his dunk sucked years ago and folks still talk about and don’t wanna hear nothing current about Dump getting spanked in current news. Waiting on Pee Gate at your Netflix Channel near you.
She’s lived a pure and truthful life. Yeah right! She’s a porn star and a prostitute. She’s lived a rough drug filled life.
the Lawyer said he didn’t know about it. The real question is if they haven’t found a link between Russia and Trump, what are they investigation still
No he can’t. It becomes part of the public record and can be used against him or anybody for that matter.
Had someone gave Dump the answers he would have never brought those women to keep from answering a question. If there was a question he couldn’t answer he would say it was a “gotcha question”. Can’t believe folks voted for someone who says he gets foreign policy experience from watching Sunday morning news shows. She might be full of dirt but Dump is full of shyt. Behnzi was investigated 8 times by the Republicans and was found no wrong doing and yet they still wasting tax payers money. ROTFLMAO when he said had Obama not taken his foreign policy advice in 2013 while he was playing armchair President we wouldn’t be in this mess with Syria. The White House is a SNL skit everyday.
BILL CLINTON WAS IMPEACHED! It was and is a big deal. Who the hell wants to put his wife in office? That’s one reason she lost. President Trump won. He won’t be impeached and he will serve two terms. That’s the way the cookie crumbles.
Yep he been going on rallies and everything as if he is free. Can’t wait for the deposition and see him read.
and he’s your PRESIDENT! Nothing you or these silly liberals can do about it.
That’s the way the nation crumbles. Betta watch Betsy Devos brother starting his private army war to get paid.
First of all a lawyer can’t make a Payment on any clients behalf without them knowing. You think they haven’t found a link between Russia and Trump yet…lol
You do realize if Trump is impeached, there will still be a republican president? Democrats have nothing to gain from impeachment, right now. The only people that don’t know Hillary lost and is irrelevant to anything Trump does are Republicans.
He’ll be just fine.
But why was the bribe paid.
While Melania showed her birthday suit for the whole world to see. She is the first bottomless first lady. Still waiting on that architect degree and immigration papers news conference they showed us. All of that fake beauty and still get left on the curb by her husband for the world to see. Vwhite Haus from a 5 language experience.. Those kids at the Easter festivities said what the hell did she just say. Speak 5 languages and can’t speak English.
I agree. To be honest, Mike Pence is far more conservative which I like.
The nation is stronger than one man…president or not. You liberals are so dramatic!
He has never kept it in his pants. Ever.
what does this have to do with Hillary..Trump is President these are his presidential problems. Noone elses but his.
Rachel and Lawrence gonna be “LIT” tonight. Got my popcorn ready.
Nudity is natural. She was a model. This is the 21st century. Who cares about old modeling pictures.
He will be fine over the Stormy Daniels mess. It’s all the Russia shenanigans that’s gonna get him though. Can’t wait until Comey’s book comes out.
Let someone show a picture of Michelle as a naked 2 month old baby. It is funny how things are not important when it comes to Dump but when it concerns Obama/Hillary it matters. Can’t wait for Dump to answer the question as to why he told WikiLeaks to get Hillary emails and brag about how much he loves WikiLeaks.
Exactly. Pence is more dangerous TBH. He’s actually kind of smart and politically savvy. And a stone cold conservative who doesn’t want anything to do with anything or anyone that doesn’t look like him or think like him.
If you don’t have anything to hide don’t pull out your checkbook.
130,000 is a lot of money. What was it for and who approved the payment ? I no people who wouldve silenced her for a bag of weed. Just saying
This supposed to be some Lewinski s***?

Trump is a one-term president.
From what I’m reading online, they suspect that there are more payoffs by “Cohn/Trump” to other women. Avenetti said he had 8 women who were like Stormy and had relations with Trump and were paid off, allegedly.
I thing that Trump’s lawyer broke campaign finance laws by making the payment so that’s what the issue is.
I think you’re right. His tweets were used against him in certain court rulings because they’re considered part of the public record.
He talks too much…FR
I’m sorry who cares if Trump slept with this slut 12 years ago? People pay hush money and NDA fees all the times. If anything the porn star should be charged with extortion, bribery and other financial crimes. Be careful super freak.
Whatever he accuses people of…he is guilty of times ten
Russian trolls are a part of America’s conversation now unfortunately
lol…
The dems keep forgetting Pence will be the replacement.
If she’s a slut, what does that make him?
Trump is a rapist, with incestuous tendencies towards his own daughter. He is garbage. I just don’t think it matters or we care about her story and that they had sex. She’s a born star. He’s a womanizer. it would be different if she was saying he raped her and paid her hush money but if he paid her for sex, that’s her profession. To me it seems that she’s seeking attention and more money.
Doesn’t matter. Pence might be an extremist, but at least he’s rational. Trump, on the other hand, is irrational, which makes him much more of a danger to America.
Screwed either way…
It will be interesting to see what else the FBI finds in those documents. Sounds like that no-knock warrant took him by surprise..
NO one is as ill as Dump Dump
Sh*t getting real…. chillllllddddd ?

I would’ve loved to seen the look on Cohen’s face when the FBI barged in….

He’ll be neutered after Congress goes blue in January.
Right.
It was paid because he was running for president-hence potential campaign violation.
LOL.
We’ll see what he says under oath.
If he told the truth then his lawyer is in big trouble.
It’s ironic that one of the articles of impeachment against Clinton was that he lied to the American public about his affair with Monica.
Oh sweet karma.
We’ll see what Cohen says.
The problem is that the Russians are still interfering–just look at some of the comments on this thread.
I am not sure if Democrats will take back either House because the gun nuts have been stirred up and even the farmers who are going to be hurt by Trump’s trade war seem to be sticking with him.
Even if Democrats do take back the House and impeach Trump there aren’t enough votes in the Senate to convict and remove Trump.
Maybe, just maybe Mueller gets with McConnell and Ryan and they give Trump an ultimatum–resign or be prosecuted.
Jamie Allman — who hosted a nightly news show on a Sinclair-owned ABC affiliate in St. Louis and a morning FM radio show — posted the tweet last month in which he appeared to threaten to sexually assault David Hogg, according to The Washington Post.
“When we kick their ass they all like to claim we’re drunk. I’ve been hanging out getting ready to ram a hot poker up David Hogg’s ass tomorrow,” the tweet read, according to a screen shot posted by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “Busy working. Preparing.”
Homoerotic violence seems to be a conservative staple.

She never said she was anything else other than a slut and a whore. Even as a slut and whore she’s entitled to live free of being threatened at the supermarket while holding her baby. All she said is that Trump slept with her and he did. Then he organized for her silence to be bought. The burden is on Trump who cheated on his wife and organized a bribe.
So barbaric, sounds like thats a fantasy for him….

Donald Trump threw Cohn under the bus.
Conservatives are some twisted mofos..
I guess we shouldn’t be surprised since their ancestors cut off the genitals of black men after they hanged them.
Trump eventually tosses everyone under the bus (except Ivanka).
Yeah even the people Trump appoints personally are part of the Deep State.
GTFOOH!!

So?
Pence has been appointing right wing nut jobs to various posts behind the scenes.
Trump is appointed judges from pre-approved lists.
Pence wouldn’t be re-elected because he has the charisma of an undertaker.
Remember Pence was about to lose his re-election bid as governor of Indiana before Trump made him his VP.
Campaign finance and shady banking practices.
This is big. Somebody’s going to jail.
Nope it brings his credibility into question!
They’re doing all this digging.. I would be for it if they’d worked this hard to indite Hillary.. But all this is showing me is that there is a double standard of law.. if your not the puppet the deep state supports than you can’t get away with nothing. So much so that if they can’t get you on what they lied on you about they gone keep searching til they find something
And for everybody who’s like yay, just think about your attorney/client privelege and how that’s threatened with them pulling this Bullspit..
Again.. who cares
Whooooo cares? People sit here and hold this man past sexual exploitation’s against him as though their’s are peaches and cream.. it’s not like he did it while in office..
Fox “News”, always on the leading edge.

You’re right on one hand because no one cares about the sex! Its about him paying hush money about 10days or so before the election, possibly with campaign money. And the lies continue…if anyone thinks Cohen refinanced his home, think again!
I can’t LOL!!!
Man it is so going to happen. The states are turning blue as we speak!
LOL.
Bawahhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Since folks keep on bringing up Hillary, President Clinton, and I even saw John Edwards below…the common denominator of these folks are they all at one time or another were high powered attorneys. As in they know the laws no matter how much they change or how long ago they practiced law like the back of their hands.
Not that they HAVENT done wrongdoing. However. They know how to toe the line JUST enough for it still to be legal. John Edwards at one time was the most powerful attorney in this state. Not one of. The most. He is back at his old firm he founded (Edwards Kirby) still winning huge lawsuits to the tune of millions of dollars.
Trump should have taken his slow lead trying to always beat the system ass to law school and maybe he wouldn’t be in ANY of this.
All he had to do was be quiet, All they were waiting for was him to contradict some evidence they already have.
And see attorneys know when to hold em (stfu) and when to fold em (release just enough LIMITED information). Since he doesnt have that training…he is indeed in hot water. THIS is why I think all Presidents must have something beyond an undergrad degree, and a law degree if possible. Even military training will teach you some of this (Eisenhower and the Bushes. Its not ideal but hell I will TAKE IT).
He has none of the above.
I see they’ve called for reinforcements.
Attorney/client privilege doesn’t count if there has been illegal activity.
hahahaaa
Deep state-drink
For a long time.
Or skilled politician this is what they do. Its in the job description…lol Business men are great in theory but one of his caliber had to know what was coming his way. And he deserves every bit of it for starting the birther movement.
I stated a couple of months ago that Trump’s downfall would be being president.
I bet this is the first time in his life he’s had to actually put in some work and being president is very restricting and he keeps lashing out in public no less.
I don’t understand how he didn’t think everything he’s done and what he’s built his business on was going to get scrutinized and lead too this. Whatever Russia has must be good stuff.
Well he never thought he would become president in the first place.
Even he didn’t believe that he was that good of a con artist or that many Americans were fools.
Karma works in mysterious ways.
I believe those behind him knew the Americans they were targeting were indeed fools.
THIS!

LOL!
They just got him on something he lied on, something he really didn’t have to lie about.
Many have theorized that he never actually intended or expected to win. It was just a way to improve his visibility and grow his brand. Then he messed around and became President… and now all the skeletons in his closet are starting to come tumbling out.

I always give Russian trolls a break on the spelling and stuff, since English isn’t their first language.
chile cheese. that sh*t goes right out the window if there’s a crime involved.
went to bed and woke up like this too : )
Awe i see you’re really butt hurt over all this. Lmao!
the bribe was paid to keep Ms. Daniel’s quiet so it wouldn’t ruin his chances of winning. which is ILLEGAL.
Learn how to read. She goes by Mo, not Moe
ha!
Yep. Happened within 48 hrs later. Annnnd he had the nerve to say I don’t know anything about it, you’ll have to ask my lawyer that. So good ole FBI did just that.
So since they couldn’t find evidence of Russian collusion, they have moved on to any dirt they can find to impeach. And what will they move on to after they find nothing here. Mueller’s firing?
I don’t think they care about Cohen and the $130,000 dollar payment to Stormy the Porn Star. I’m thinking they really want to pressure him to roll over on Trump and his ties with Russia. Let’s see if he can withstand the pressure…
Whuuut?? #FunFacts…
LOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOL!!!!!!
Lol what.. you have no idea what you are talking about.. lmao nothing you said just now made a lick of sense.. and the fact that you bet means you must lose all the time haphazardly..
The only one losing is Trump.
Why are you here? You dont like the new layout of MTO? Why?
Kinda like Whitewater,huh?
Karma’s a b!tch!!
white men over-sexualize kids, teens and more so Black men, thats been the case currently and historically.

Yes, because the spelling of her name was super important. BOTH of you could have saved your comments

Oh.. ok..sorta like how they did OJ Simpson..??

THESE ARE THE SILLIEST…

^^^^THIS^^^< but it is TRUMP we talking bout here..?
I think now I understand the game of chess
It’s almost implied that any and everyone is going to take the fall to protect the king.. isn’t that the concept of chess?
Anyway…. No doubt Trump warned them before they kicked in the door…
Right. Because all politicians are credible and honest.
The bribe was not paid by Trump. So who cares.
Only if it can be proven that the money came from a campaign fund. Good luck with that. lol.
Ask Michael Cohen.
SR: Only if it can be proven that the money came from a campaign fund.
No that’s not the definition. If it has anything to do with influencing the campaign and reaches a certain dollar amount it’s an illegal campaign contribution.
Ask John Edwards how that worked out for him and these funds exchanged hands within weeks of the election, but Trump’s fixer Cohen has more problems on his hands—the feds know he took a bus from Germany to Prague to meet with Russian hackers involved in the Russian collusion ( conspiracy).
Cohen is looking at 30 years in the federal pen. Even if Trump pardons him Cohen is looking at NY state charges.
So he has no incentive to take the fall hoping that Trump will pardon him.
Good times. Good times.
More lies from the sore losers on the left.
“Bad reporting, bad information and bad story by same reporter Peter Stone @McClatchyDC. No matter how many times or ways they write it, I have never been to Prague. I was in LA with my son. Proven!”
https://twitter.com/MichaelCohen212/status/985184355382431744
Why was Trump beside himself when he heard that Cohen’s office had been raided?
The only sore losers are people who support Trump.
They still bring up Hillary because Trump is such a bad president.
Nope i don’t think. The special council has not to date found anyone guilty of or accociated with a Trump Russia collusion. The investigation was originally started in investigate whether Comey was fire to obstruct Justice. Lastly a power of attorney allows a lawyer to act on behalf of a client. But the over all question is why do we care what he did 10 years ago. It wasn’t rape so….. in other news would it be cool if he brought peace to Korea
