    Agreed. It isn't. If they bring up charges against him from the 80s or 90s perhaps those charges will be tossed.

    Well then, he has a great case to dismiss those evidences, if indeed his right has been violated.

    Oh you read the warrant application.

    Do share with us, what the basis of the search was.

    Not a good day when the FBI raids your lawyer's office.

    It would be a pretty fitting end to the Trump Presidency to have his affair with a p*rn star be what leads the FBI to his doorstep.

    He wasn't his lawyer. He just got Trump coffee and donuts. Basically an intern, a lightweight. Believe me.

    It’s happened to two of the last nine presidents. It’s fairly common.

    Count down to the Trump twitter storm and possibly the removal of Sessions, Wray, Kelly and anyone else that stands in Trump's way from dismissing Mueller.

    You do understand, right, that it isn't Mueller granting himself these warrants. He applies to the court for a warrant with an argument for why it is appropriate and the court issues the warrant. Manafort's lawyers have argued to the court that the search is too broad, but the court does not seem to be persuaded. It seems to me that the 4th amendment guarantee of due process has been satisfied by Mueller going to the courts and getting these warrants. I don't think either of us are qualified to play armchair quarterback and say the warrants are inappropriately or unconstitutionally broad. But if they are, there is a process Manafort's lawyers can use there too to appeal to higher courts. Instead of smearing faceless Deep State agents with conspiracy theories, how about we see how much traction Manafort can actually find in the legal system.

    It could be Stormy-related, but it doesn't have to be. Cohen has worked with Trump on lots of stuff.

    implying that stormy daniel isn't being pushed by the Democrats. This all too obvious.

    What does it mean that raid is on a Mueller referral? A separate investigation? Mueller found something that seems helpful to the investigation into the Cohen's activities and referred to SD of NY... and if so.. that probably means Mueller is already quite deep into investigating Cohen's activities (as related to his primary case).

    FBI Raids Office of Trump Lawyer Cohen on a Mueller Referral

    Cohen’s attorney Stephen Ryan said agents on Monday seized documents using several search warrants after a referral to prosecutors in the Southern District of New York based in part on a referral by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

    I think it means that Mueller is investigating his own thing, but found evidence to an unrelated crime, so he referred it to another prosecuting body.

    If so, this is more related to Cohen than Trump... at this point.

    You are seriously posting Mark Shouldice (Dice) material?

    Dice believes that Washington is ran by the Illuminati.

    Dice believes that Katy Perry and Trent Reznor are secret undercover Satanists.

    Dice believed that the Bill of Rights should be repealed and the Constitution frozen.

    Dice believes that 9-11 was an inside job by the US government.

    What about #Fakenews.....

    So the BBC or NBC or ABC or The New York Times or Washington Post are "fake news" but this bullshit is believable or of value?

    Dice doesn't believe his own bullshit, neither does Alex Jones or most of these idiots that ultra conservatives are slurping up.

    They are all playing you for money....... and I wouldn't care other than the fact is too many idiots believe this type of bullshit is real news.
