Trump Struggles to Convince Himself Everything’s Fine in Meandering Response to FBI Raid of Lawyer’s Office

The FBI raided President Trump’s longtime personal attorney Michael Cohen’s office, home, and hotel room Monday, seizing documents as part of a probe into possible bank fraud, wire fraud, and campaign finance violations, the Washington Post reports. According to the Wall Street Journal, the searches related to Cohen’s payment to former adult film actress Stormy Daniels and an investigation into its legality by the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan in coordination with special counsel Robert Mueller’s team.

On Monday, even Trump, himself, seemed somewhat shaken by the proximity of the raid. Cohen, while not a member of the Trump administration, is still a part of the Trump family’s inner circle, putting his demeanor as an Atlantic City pit boss to use doing the unseemly dirty work of cleaning up the effluent spewing from Trump Inc. During his brief remarks to reporters before a meeting with military advisers, Trump seemed unable to muster even the semi-coherent bluster needed to offer a plausible distraction to the potential seriousness of the development, particularly given the raid may have netted communications between Trump and his longtime henchman.

“So I just heard that they broke into the office of one of my personal attorneys, a good man and it’s a disgraceful situation. It’s a total witch-hunt. I’ve been saying it for a long time,” Trump began, appearing ready to launch into a classic Trump diatribe. But Trump looked hesitant and uncharacteristically unsure of who to blame this time around. Slower on his feet than normal, Trump offered up half-hearted rebukes of Attorney General Jeff Sessions (!), James Comey, Hillary Clinton (obviously), and Barack Obama.

“I’ve been president now for what seems like a lengthy period of time,” Trump said at one point. It may have been the only genuine thing Trump muttered during his remarks. But how much longer? Who knows! But we’re getting out the jumper cables and dusting off the ole Impeach-o-Meter just in case!

3. I'm interested in seeing Mueller's impeachometer

"This impeachometer goes up to 110%."

"But why don't you just make it go up to 100% and call it definite impeachment?"

"Because this impeachometer goes up to 110%."
