    Cohen knew this was coming which is why he lawyer up and disappeared from public. The less said the better. If he had followed that advice at the end of last year, this would be a non-story. But he did not so here we are . . . .

    Isn't Cohen the guy who gifted Stormy Daniels $130k out of kindness?

    Yes, and apparently the only lawyer on God's green earth that has never heard of the John Edwards case.

    The U.S. Attorney for SDNY who would’ve had to sign off on this, Geoff Berman, is a Trump appointee (and apparently former partner at Rudy Giuliani’s firm)

    It is looking like Bank Fraud and possibly wire fraud is the expected charge. There may also be a campaign violation issue.

    From the video link I sent you, it looks like three separate counts of bank fraud, before you even get into the campaign contribution issues (or anything else).

    I must say that I dont understand this part....

    The search warrant behind Monday's raids of Cohen also included a request for documents related to Cohen's ownership of taxi medallions.....

    and how it ties into anything.

    This is interesting....

    The FBI was looking for info on his taxi medallions. He is a longtime partner of a Ukrainian immigrant, Symon Garber, who owns/has owned cab companies in NYC, Chicago & Moscow. Garber got his start in the NYC cab business at the age of 18 back when Jay Turoff was in charge of the Taxi & Limousine Commission. Turoff went to jail for selling medallions and taking kickbacks from the mob. Now, I'm not saying these things are all related, but in 1984 a medallion was $50K, and I don't know a lot of 18 year olds who can come up with a couple hundred grand to get medallions on their own.

    I would also add that Garber was indicted last year for allegedly stealing $5M in taxes that his cabs should have collected for the city.

    I wonder if it's possible it has more too do with bank Fraud, which is under the FBI's jurisdiction, and less too do with stormy daniels?

    i mean I'm just spit balling here, but I don't think screwing up a non-disclosure agreement is actually a crime.

    The difference is between a possible problem in the future (with Cruz) and an actual crime committed in the past (Cohen). I am sure there are other differences but that one comes to mind immediately.

    He definitely has the "oh no" look. When you start playing in the big leagues (national politics) you have got to up your game. Cohen did not up his game.

    Speaking of upping his game, Trump is now without a legit criminal defense lawyer. That is a problem. He really does need an experienced lawyer to give him good advice at this point.

    One last point, I wonder if Trump's tax returns will be in the bevy of documents seized? While we are at it I wonder what other shady deals and hush money payments will be uncovered?

    I find it pretty amazing that two days after multiple no-knock federal search warrants were executed at various locations, the White House has no idea if Cohen still works for Trump, and that people should ask Cohen to determine this:


    White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said she did not know if President Donald Trump's embattled longtime attorney Michael Cohen still represents him after an FBI raid on the lawyer's office.

    "I'm not sure, I would refer you to Michael Cohen on that," Huckabee Sanders said when asked if the attorney still represents Trump.
