1. FBI 'raids Trump lawyer's office'

The FBI have raided the offices of Michael Cohen, the long-time personal lawyer for US President Donald Trump.

Law enforcement acted on a "referral" from Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating suspected Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

Officials in New York seized "privileged communications" between Mr Cohen and his clients, his lawyer said in a statement after the raid.

Documents regarding a payment to a porn actress were also seized, US media say.

Gee, that gives a lot more information, especially for those who cannot read Twitter posts.

3. I do feel bad for those that have Twitter blocked at work.

But that's just the breaks.

9. There's always some circumstance that stops things

I don't begrudge anyone their complaint. I dislike posts that just put a video in without any context so I get it. I don't play videos since it doesn't fit into my routine (I'm a very fast reader so video stuff just feels like I'm slogging through the mud).

6. So we really do have a choice-- whine about twitter links on DU, or research the story ourselves.

I'll be damned. So we really do have a choice-- whine about twitter links on DU, or research the story ourselves.

I hope the latter catches on. It's a great habit to get into.

7. I am not in an office environment where Twitter is blocked

So I could see the tweet in the OP and go to the link in it. Some here on DU do not have that option. But even so I am fed up with the laziness of just posting the tweet with nothing else. It's one small step for the OP to actually go to the link INSIDE the tweet and then post something of the actual article.

Maybe the people who post tweets from their phones could add a disclaimer in their signature lines to that effect so we can expect less of them and excuse what seems to be aggravating laziness.

See below and review my comments and predictions last week on CNN and MSNBC. An enormous amount of misplaced faith has been placed on MC's shoulders IMO. If he does not hold up, this could end very very badly for DJT and others. F.B.I. Raids Cohen Offices

8. To lie so badly, you either have to be stupid, or be under the delusion that everyone else is

too stupid to see the lies.
