So essentially the president has no presidential privilege any longer. All a prosecutor has to say is that he is investigating the presidents attorney, waltz in and take all his files, and be done with it.

The president’s privacy no longer exists.

And what about Hillary Clinton’s Clinton Family Fund or whatever that fund is called?

Where is the investigation of anything on the Left, while every little stone is overturned on the right?

It’s the WaPo. Very connected with the FBI/CIA, but nobody’s very curious about that. I’ll bet nothing comes of this charge. It’s meant to harass Trump’s attorney, and deny him due process. Trump should just use the army.

More lie-based reporting.

If the MSM by some off the wall chance started to report the truth with unbiased investigative journalism backed up by facts and reliable sources, then maybe their current march to death row could be stopped.

Such BS reporting not only hurts them, but the dem party. Oh, wait a minute, that’s a good thing. I hope they keep up reporting BS, it’s actually great for the nation in the long run.

“How about investigating Daniels for Blackmail”

That was my comment. The woman is doing that in plain sight. No one forced her to do anything with Trump.

So apparently attorney client privilege means NOTHING..this should scare EVERYONE..that at any time, some crooked prosecutor can get some judge to raid your lawyer’s office and get EVERYTHING about you, all of your communication, etc..and besides, if Cohen went to the bank and refinanced his house(I doubt it was for 130 grand, probably half a mil he would NO way ask for the exact amount come on) what he does with the money is NOT the bank’s business..as long as he pays the amount back he can use it for whatever use he likes

What BS!

As long as the home equity loan is covered by collateral banks don’t care what you do with the proceeds.

Check Cohan’s bank deposits for abnormal deposits!

I’ve tried tuning out the whole Daniels matter, which I think most Americans have done. The attorney seems to have done what we imagine most attorneys do. Whether Trump kew or not, I’d think it stops with the attorney. How does this fit into Mueller’s investigation? Or is Sessions and Wray trying to destroy Trump?

And who wants to bet that EVERYTHING that the FBI seized will be illegally leaked to the WaPo and other media outlets in order to politically hurt Trump? Drip, drip, drip...

Is there a reason we have an attorney general in this country or is it all decoration? Never in my life have I ever seen such blatant abuse of a sitting US President and by people who SHOULD BE IN JAIL. WTF IS SESSIONS DOING?

.

Sessions is in on it.

Rosenstein set up a flawed Special Counsel with no crime to investigate - purposely.

Podesta, Clinton Global Initiative, The Clinton Foundation and more than half the Lobbyists in DC are guilty. The Biden kids get dirty money from Foreign Countries today.

Sessions and Wray need to be Fired.

This seems to be Mueller’s checkmate move. When Trump didn’t fire Rosenstein when he set him up by putting Comey’s BFF as SC with no limits it was as big of a mistake as making Sessions AG. At this point Trump seems doomed.
