mean, one, cohen was still a good man. when he got raided, he was still a good man. he got the wrong witch hunt. this was not a raid that ended up producing evidence for the mueller probe. this was mostly siphoned off to the sdny. and he called them biased people. i mean, that office, we now know, run by a political appointee, jeff burman. right. seeing that clip now on the day that we see the search warrant with the mountains, paragraphs, pages of evidence referenced, shows how horrible it is that he does this kind of attack, how baseless it is, right? because you see in these pages, as chuck was saying, as frank was saying, this is based first of all, i think they probably could have done a complaint at this point and actually arrested people. that s how much evidence there is in there. and i would go out on a limb and say as to the redacted portions, my guess is they already had the campaign finance crime at that point as well. just because of the length of it. so by the time th
let s continue with the mountain theme and switch it to a frozen mountain, an iceberg. let s say that once again, nicol nico nicolle, we re getting increasing glimpses of the submerged part of the iceberg, the part we haven t seen yet. as that becomes more and more transparent to us, we learned today, this is what popped out at me, that remember what mueller s all about. he starts as a counterintelligence, russian counterintelligence investigation, we know from andy mccabe that mccabe had added an obstruction element in there involving the president and that gets handed off to mueller and what does mueller do? he targets cohen and cohen s records and e-mails and phone records, and he does it early and almost immediately after he stands up his office. so what do i draw from that? i draw from that that russia plays prominently in this concern as well as the possibility of obstruction by the president. and mueller jumped right into that and targeted data coming
warrants for e-mails of michael d. cohen, president trump s former lawyer and fixer, beginning in july 2017. that s according to documents released tuesday that provide a glimpse into the earliest stages of the inquiry into the president. washington post adds this, the search warrants unsealed tuesday in cohen s case offer no insight into how mueller and his team handed off a key part of the cohen investigation to federal prosecutors in new york in early 2018 and how much evidence prosecutors already had against cohen even before they searched his office, home, and hotel room in april of that year. the warrants also reveal just how much of the investigation is still being protected today, as we speak. take a look at the pages of redacted material on these documents. most intriguing to us, the bulk of a section titled the illegal campaign contributions scheme. the judge offering this explanation for these redactions. at this stage, wholesale
just like he had that meltdown that you just played the day that this search warrant was served. right. he s always known that he is incredibly vulnerable from the material that michael cohen has, and the material now that bob mueller and ultimately the sdny has. he knows that crimes were committed. and when that tape was made that you just showed, him talking in the cabinet room, he was still at the same time writing hush money checks that s right. as president of the united states to reimburse michael cohen, the good man. and so, you know, he was in the middle of a criminal conspiracy as president of the united states. he knew that. no wonder he blew up then, no wonder he blew up now. it s such a good. it s so instructive to sort of put ourself in this time capsule and that s right. when michael cohen s offices were raided, donald trump was still engaged in the hush money scheme for which michael cohen has pleaded guilty, in which donald trump was named individual numbe
the house entell committee is raising new questions, particularly three. that i would request you think about. question number one, what do the documents mean for cohen s credibility, specifically not the checks because those are what they are. the thing speaks for itself. but in terms of the doctored congressional testimony. what do we now know? i think that what we re beginning to see is just what a drove of documents michael cohen has. remember the prosecutor sees 292,000 documents when they raided his office last april. we have seen publicly a dozen, maybe 20 total. there s a lot more here and there s a lot more for investigators to sink their teeth into. and what we re beginning to see is now that he s sort of flipped
