***** MORE BREAKING NEWS***** About Michael Cohen (BANK AND WIRE FRAUD)




PER WAPO Michael Cohen is being investigated for


Bank Fraud
Wire Fraud
Wire Campaign issues


THE DIRTY:

FBI agents on Monday raided the Manhattan office of President Trump’s private lawyer, Michael D. Cohen, seizing records about Cohen’s clients, including those related to a 2016 payment he made to adult-film star Stormy Daniels, who claims to have had a sexual encounter with Trump.

Among the documents seized were privileged communications between Cohen and his clients — including those with Trump, according to a person familiar with the investigators’ work. Investigators took Cohen’s computer, phone and personal financial records as part of the search of his office at Rockefeller Center, the person said.

The raid was first reported by the New York Times.

The raid is related to an investigation referred by the special counsel Robert S. Mueller III to federal prosecutors in New York, according to Stephen Ryan, an attorney for Cohen.

Where Vincent is venting about his car being keyed, and he says, "Oh man I wish I could have caught the prick that did that. It would have been worth him doing it just to have me catch him doing it."

I'm starting to feel that way about Trump being president. It might end up being worth it for a blue wave in Congress, a Dem president in 2020, and to watch the horror and despair creep over the MAGA maggots when their holy one is revealed for the traitor and criminal that he is.

about the purpose of the funds? (Just guessing.) And the wire fraud is a continuation of the bank fraud, which also allows the state to bring charges?

to the Russia's bank accounting. Pick the wrong Bullshitter for protection. Putin won't even put you up in a tiny apt, nor allow your girlfriend to visit.
