#1 Supposedly the investigation centers on a $150,000 payment to the Trump Foundation via a pro-Russian Ukrainian organization. This was during the presidential campaign. Mind you;

1) This was not made to the Trump Campaign.

2) The same Ukrainian organization paid $13 million to the Clinton Foundation. Hillary Clinton was the Democratic Presidential Nominee.

#3 The groundwork for the coup has begun for the elections. Once the demoncrats have congress, they can complete it.

#4 You were stopped because your tail light is out. Please step out of the car, remove all your clothes, bend over, and spread your buttcheeks so we can search it in full view of the hostile media...

FIFY - no charge

You know that those client-lawyer privledge memo's will be leaked to the press during Meuller's daily press releases leaks.

#5 All of this Cohen action coming less than 24 hours after....

DOJ just made ‘extraordinary accommodation’ for Carter Page FISA warrant applications.

Yet another amazing coincidence.

#6 It is not uncommon to pay someone in a civil case to make the claim go away because it is a nuisance claim. It implies nothing just that it is worth it to pay the claim rather than go through an expensive litigation process in court. To pay something for a claim does mean Trump has done what is claimed. I smell a lawyer using Stormy Daniels to try do a political hit job before the mid-terms. It is possible Cohen did not do a very good job of handling the claim.

Yes, another Carter Page sting operation.

#8 I hope the FBI does not find a hidden email server or destroyed hard drives.

#9 As we focus on the details of this we are missing the bigger picture. Read the book "Killing Pablo" The methods used to kill Pablo are the same ones Mueller is using to take down Trump.

With some US Army augmentation, the same agency(s) at work as well.

#11 When Hillary Clinton was under investigation, her personal lawyers and aides were granted immunity by the FBI, while 30k+ emails went missing AFTER being subpoenaed.

When Donald Trump is merely a "subject" (whatever that means) of an investigation and has turned over countless documents to the Special Counsel, his personal lawyer and aide is raided by the FBI.

The lesson here?

The Empire (Deep State) Strikes Back!

#12 #12 When Hillary Clinton was under investigation looked at for "matters." FIFY.

Obama and Clinton placed doorstops in DOJ (Holder 1st and then Lynch) also to create logjams for anyone who might try to probe criminality in the Dem admiin.

That was a LONG time ago. This is now.

#15 And yet we are constantly reminded about how "The FBI rank and file are good people. It's only the top who are corrupt."

I call bullshit. The FBI has a culture. Their culture nurtures and promotes that which preserves that culture.

I'm no longer buying that the "rank and file" are doe-eyed Disney characters who would do the right thing if only they had the chance.

Corrupt unless they prove themselves otherwise.

rant off.

#17 US Marshals should be sent to raid Mueller and companies offices, all of his underlings and ANY and ALL FBI agents working with them. Raid their homes and everywhere they have been. Seize everything that they have computers, documents, phone, etc. Any resistance should be met with instant lethal force. At the same time, raid the clinton foundation, Hillary's offices and the DNC. Inside all these documents will be more than enough evidence of treason to execute them all.

#18 This violation of attorney client relationship is Obstruction of Justce by Mueller and the FBI.
