And it still doesn't explain the SDNY magistrate's signoff...

 

I tend to think they are better informed, in this case, especially given how chatty this White House staff is.  That place is leakier than a [insert dirty joke].

This staff is much less chatty than the last administration.  By all accounts I heard bush.2 had a quiet admin.  Clinton had a party. 

 

The information they get, at least from accounts I've seen and politicians I know and know of, is generally the same as us minions.

 

You also have a full press on Trump and Co by the press to dig and dig. Relentlessly. This generation of news reporters are going to be pretty damn good by 2024.  Too bad they're retards.

The bolded is untrue. The only Trump-appointed person in the food chain recused himself.

The leaks don't come from Trump's staff.  Most are disinformation being propagated by elements of the IC as part of their palace coup attempt.

Yup.  Seems totally on the up and up. Raid the President's lawyer's home, office, and hotel because of "taxi medallions" and then demand information related to access hollywood and suppressing negative publicity during the election.   

 

That doesn't sound like political motivation at all.  No sir.

You know you're the lowest form of humanity, right?  Literally you contribute nothing to society.

 

Why? Because yet again I point out your failure to be correct?

 

Get over yourself, coach. You were wrong. Again.

Right.

 

And this post, typical of your body of work here, is evidence a strong moral fiber and decency.

 

I have kettle calling on line 2.

That is completely ridiculous.  

 

Hard to say before we know what they were seeking those records for. Mere speculation here but if Cohen used money to suppress the tape that could count as an illegal campaign contribution. The article also doesn't say they carried out the raid specifically for documents relating to the tape, just that it was one of the things they sought in the raid. Sorry folks but it's gonna be a little while before we know the full story. And the warrant will be made public eventually.

Mostly I was commenting on the ridiculousness of the article.

 

It's complete speculation that Cohen tried to supress the tape, considering it wasn't at all supressed.

The Post revealed the existence of the recording on October 7, 2016. On that day, Trump first sought to downplay the comments as “locker-room banter,” but later that night he apologized for his remarks.

On the same day, the U.S. intelligence community released a statement formally blaming Russia for interfering in the 2016 election. Less than an hour after The Post’s story, WikiLeaks posted the first set of emails stolen from Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta. U.S. intelligence officials later blamed the Russian government for the hack of Podesta’s email.

Try again. There is no evidence that Rosenstein was involved. In fact he didn't even sign off on the recusal.

 

Quote

Berman was not involved in the decision to raid Cohen's office because of the recusal, two sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News.

The recusal was approved by senior Justice Department officials who report to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, the sources said. Rosenstein himself was notified of the recusal after the decision was made.

The raid of Cohen's office was handled by others in the office of the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York and approved by a federal judge.

You don't come down here much so it's possible that you aren't familiar with our unwritten rule against calling someone a lawyer. You should apologize to Joe.
