Is the Mueller investigation coming to a head
With the raid on Trump’s consigliere’s office is the investigation moving into a new phase?
One of The Fox legal talking heads said that the only way a Judge would grant that search warrant is if he was shown evidence of serious crimes committed with the knowledge ofMichael Cohen. Cohen’s only clients are DT and the Trump Organization.
What’s next?

God I hope it is over soon. Problem is many people from one side will not believe the results depending on who is favored.

I'm afraid it will never really be over. How can you have any idea what to believe? On one hand, Trump doesn't have much of a moral compass, he is capable of just about anything. On the other hand, the DOJ and the FBI leadership have obviously been influenced by personal political agendas to some extent.
The left will say the DOJ is simply following the evidence, and that Trump has only himself to blame for this mess. The right (Sean Hannity at least will say that Trump is an innocent victim who is being railroaded by a DOJ that has a politically motivated agenda. Both sides have plenty of evidence they can point to, to support their claims. But if Trump could just grow up a bit and govern, we'd all be better off. I don't think he can. |

Trump complains about a "witch hunt" following the raid on his lawyer's office, the US attorney in New York who is heading the investigation is a Trump appointee as is the FBI director whose agents conducted the raid.
I guess he just appointed the wrong best people.
Meanwhile there is a breaking story of the Trump org's lawyer threatening Panama's president with "repercussions" if he didn't help them with issues with their hotel. |

Pete, they're a bunch of lefties who have been pretending to be Republicans for the past 40 years. It's a Deep State sleeper cell  |

I think I have said many, many times, I wouldn't put anything past Trump. He's capable of anything. At the same time, the DOJ under both the Trump and Obama administrations, hasn't conducted itself as professionally as we like to think they do. There's corruption and ethical lapses everywhere you look.
I'm not saying Trump is an innocent victim being railroaded. I'm saying that any rational person would be at least a little bit skeptical of anything the DOJ says with regards to Trump, until the facts are known. It could very well be that the investigation has been flawless. But we don't know that yet, and for sure the DOJ no longer deserves the assumption that it's being impartial. Just ask the press corps that was kicked off the private jet so that Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch could speak in private, just before it's announced that Hilary was clear., which was followed shortly by Hilary saying she'd consider keeping Lynch as AG if she won. Nothing to see there, nope. They were just sharing photos of grandchildren. |

Trump brands FBI raid on lawyer Michael Cohen's office 'disgraceful' funny if he didn't know anything about the payment there should be noting to see
And another example of trying to discredit the FBI
sadly he speaks more harshly about Americans who he feels are picking on him than Putin

Trump open's an important meeting yesterday by stating I learned the FBI "broke" into my long time attorney's office and then repeatedly stated they found no collusion.
Pretty sure the extremely rigorous steps required to even get a search warrant on his attorney meant they didn't need to break down the door. He must think the general public are stupid to believe that right after the FBI shared everything they found and confirmed no collusion was found; man does this clown ever stop spinning his lies and miss truths?

It is laughable that Trump cries that they are all Dems. when he appointed them all and they where all Repub. I think this relates to the Stormy contract and Trump's insistence he knew nothing about the agreement and/or the $ to pay her off. If Trump where to ever testify to that under oath, I would imagine Cohen would prob. lose his license.
Is there anyone involved w/this admin. who is upright and honest?
