Let that sink in. The DOJ didnt notify Trump they were raiding his attorney.

WaPo reporting that Trump found out his longtime fixer’s offices were being raided when Cohen’s attorney called the White House to tell him.

Trump and everyone who surrounds him LIES, LIES, CHEATS, LIES, CHEATS, LIES.

Mueller has enough direct evidence to argue the point to a judge, who agreed.

This was an attack on the country, Donald? Like hell. You made this bed, you lie in it.

You lie everywhere else.

They didn't want anybody to know in advance to be sure documents weren't destroyed or hidden.

He admitted that he didn’t know about it. Could be why he seemed so caught off guard and unhinged.
