*****NEW**** Trumps allies worry that the Feds may have seized recordings made by his attorney

[DemocratSinceBirth]

President Trump’s personal attorney Michael D. Cohen sometimes taped conversations with associates, according to three people familiar with his practice, and allies of the president are worried that the recordings were seized by federal investigators in a raid of Cohen’s office and residences this week.

Cohen, who served for a decade as a lawyer at the Trump Organization and is a close confidant of Trump, was known to store the conversations using digital files and then replay them for colleagues, according to people who have interacted with him.

“We heard he had some proclivity to make tapes,” said one Trump adviser, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation. “Now we are wondering, who did he tape? Did he store those someplace where they were actually seized? .?.?. Did they find his recordings?”

1. He idolizes Roy Cohn

One of the worst humans who ever lived.

Rump and Cohen idolize him and try and be like him, so would Roy tape people?

Probably but wouldn't they erase them as soon as feds start to sniff?

3. Maybe the reason for the warrant

They thought he might erase them

5. These monsters think they are above the law. That's why they don't destroy tapes

4. It just occurred to me

I know this sounds, well, infantile and were we considering most any other human adult I wouldn't entertain this for a second but I wonder how much favor Cohen was awarded by Trump simply based on the fact his last name is so similar to Roy Cohn's last name.

Bear in mind, we're talking about Trump, a man Comey said apparently didn't know much about calligraphy or the word itself.

2. Yes please please let it be true

6. No lawyer would record incriminating evidence on his own client

Why are the allies worried? He may have goods on them, Komprat

7. I smell deep fryed goose

Shit's gonna get real nuts, real fast.
