FBI raids Cohens office

[Brian37]

I just posted this story in another thread.

Stop stealing my thread ideas.

I swear I posted mine first. I don't have ESPN. 

Anywho, as I said in the other thread, 45's lawyer's lawyer is trying to claim the raid violates attorney/client privilege. Now anyone who may know more, correct me if I am wrong, but that gets voided if the lawyer breaks the law in protecting the client and the client knows?

I am betting there is some direct line between him and 45 that these warrant's prove void that privilege.

Post #4, now that they are merged.

The WLB just blew up about the raid.  Fuck him.

Now watch his new lawyers freak out telling him to shut up. This is sooooooo sweet!

Even the FNC jurist, Napolitano, sez Cohen effed up by covering a debt for a client.

And search warrant also covered Cohen's home and hotel room.

Now for anyone who wants to attempt to answer.

AGAIN, Trumps lawyer's lawyer is claiming these warrant's violate attorney/client privilege. They really are basically arguing that Mueller, is either stupid or lying to get even. That is not going to pay well in the FBI community. 

This just may be the third rail that sinks 45.

ABC reporting fire cause might be due to electrical malfunction in an appliance.

What does the fire at the tower have to do with his lawyer's office being raided? 

I will say this, the HILL is reporting that 45 is now openly discussing firing Mueller.

Mueller's team did not conduct the raid.  The information was sent to the US Attorney in NY and he went with it.

Now, of interest is that the WLB fired Preet Bahara, an Obama holdover and replaced him with a republicunt named Berman who he, the WLB, had personally interviewed.  In spite of all that, the warrant was secured.  So much for the Orange Shitgibbon's claim of democratic plots!

Someone jump in and correct me if I'm wrong, but IIRC attorney / client privilege doesn't exist WRT crimes committed by the attorney.

That is why I think the warrant's are perfectly legal.

Now correct me if I am wrong, while the communications may be private, if you the client ask your lawyer to commit a crime and the lawyer does it, then the privilege is void. I am betting they have something on not just the lawyer but Trump as well. 

I bet Trump shot his mouth off to someone besides his lawyer and bragged about getting him to do it.

I wondered where the hell this post went!

Meant to post in the Reichstag thread, sorry !!

Great! As Trump gets ever closer to being perp-walked into federal or state prison, we're that much closer to frying in a nuclear holocaust as a distraction by Trump to pre-empt the investigation. Mueller, move faster!
