So, has Donnie moved from subject to TARGET?

I think it may be so.

I think they just told his lawyer.

FBI raid on Michael Cohen has one real target — and Donald Trump knows it
Michael Cohen is being investigated on various charges. But everything he did was for the man in the Oval Office

1. Sorry - I don't see it...

Cohen's actions were definitely FOR Trump, but there's no evidence they were WITH Trump.

2. McClatchy: Mueller probe tracking down Trump business partners, with Cohen a focus of queries

I believe there is more to this than the porn star. Cohen has worked for the Trump Organization for years, and as we know Mueller is investigating the Trump Organization’s financial dealings with foreign nationals.

This article is from April 6th. Probably worth skimming:

WASHINGTON

Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigators this week questioned an associate of the Trump Organization who was involved in overseas deals with President Donald Trump’s company in recent years.

Armed with subpoenas compelling electronic records and sworn testimony, Mueller’s team showed up unannounced at the home of the business associate, who was a party to multiple transactions connected to Trump’s effort to expand his brand abroad, according to persons familiar with the proceedings.

Investigators were particularly interested in interactions involving Michael D. Cohen, Trump’s longtime personal attorney and a former Trump Organization employee. Among other things, Cohen was involved in business deals secured or sought by the Trump Organization in Georgia, Kazakhstan and Russia.

3. But this raid wasn't part of the Mueller probe...

It was information handed off to the US Attorney as a separate matter.

4. Mueller gets to go through everything taken too

5. Michael Cohen was involved in business deals in Georgia, Kazakhstan and Russia.

Do you believe that the US Attorney and Mueller are not sharing info? As you know, the US Attorney was acting on a referral from Robert Mueller.

The president’s low-rent Ray Donovan can bully porn stars, but not Robert Mueller. The shtick is up.

What has to strike absolute terror into Trump at this moment is the fact that the Southern District of New York, acting on a referral from Robert Mueller, was able to obtain extraordinarily broad authority and was granted search warrants that may even penetrate attorney-client privilege.

Trump must know this may be one of the most dangerous moments in his entire life, not just his presidency. The likelihood is that Mueller and the FBI are now in possession of the Black Books of Trump, NDAs from enough of Trump’s various affairs that you can staff a 12-pole strip club with plenty of girls left for the Champagne rooms. It’s only speculation at this point, but it’s quite likely that Cohen was the keeper of many of Trump’s lending documents, contracts, business arrangements, and the Kryptonite of Trump’s fragile self-worth: the long-sought tax returns.

Cohen was one of Trump’s most vulnerable and dangerous keepers of secrets. If Trump had a brain, he would have been terrified this moment would come. Cohen simply lived in a state of idiot hubris that it wouldn’t.
