    ...and we still have nothing illegal Cohen did on behalf of Trump, ordered by Trump. Guy was only on Mueller's radar because he was another person they could squeeze for dirt on Trump since, in Peter Stzrok's words, there was really "no there, there" and he needed to do something to justify his job.

    Someone needs to ask Mr. Mueller how his prosecution of that firm he said was helping Russia with a social media campaign. The one he indicted, then when they called his bluff and asked for discovery, he started dragging his feet and asking for delays since he had no actual evidence they did anything illegal. Mueller will drag this out as long as he can, because he knows after he reports, it's he and all the corrupt partisans he colluded with to set up the President as part of the ill planned coup who will be on the hot seat. Maybe they can give Mueller and Manafort joining cells. LOL

    All that redacted info relates to individual 1.

    Something tells me that there are a few sealed envelopes at SDNY that have the name "Trump" on them.

    So Trump inadvertently signed into law the CLOUD Act which allowed the FBI to go back to Google and demand Cohen's e-mails from his GMail account that Google initially wouldn't turn over "because they were stored on overseas servers". Oops!!

    Another news agency that appears to have dug more into this than ABC is reporting that Cohen received $500K from a Russian firm.

    It was Balzac or Mario Puzo who wrote 'Behind every great fortune there is a crime'. That adage will be severely tested in the coming months as more information about the Trump Organization and its finances are revealed.

    All that redacted material.
    Does it explain the tRump delusional, hateful and divisive Tweeter Storm we have seen the last few days?

    ProPublica reports the FBI obtained a sealed search warrant last summer that allowed federal investigators to raid GOP Fundraiser Elliott Broidy's offices in pursuit of documents related to his work with foreign officials and Trump associates. It must have been urgent. This may explain why Trump spent his weekend ensconced at the White House tweeting out more insane lies, falsehoods and conspiracy theories, which seemed even more unhinged and detached from reality than his usual screed.

    This is how the mob boss defends himself as the noose gets tighter, while adding to the mountain of obstruction evidence every time he decides to be his own defense lawyer and publicist. Trump knows what Broidy has, and then adds it to the mountain of other evidence Mueller has and eventually he knows its game over. Hopefully sooner than later.

    OK this is hilarious. Investigators in the Southern District of New York obtained a search warrant to access Cohen’s Gmail account in February 2018. Google turned over some documents, but the tech giant “declined to produce data that it stored on computer servers located outside of the United States,” according to an affidavit submitted to the court by an FBI agent working on Cohen’s case. Weeks later, Trump signed the CLOUD Act into law, which gave US law enforcement more legal pathways to pursue data stories overseas. The provision was tucked into the $1.3 trillion spending bill Trump signed to avoid a federal government shutdown. With the new law on the books, federal prosecutors went back to court in and asked for another warrant to get the materials that Google refused to turn over.
