Judge Hands Defeat to Trump and Cohen Over FBI Raid: ‘You’ve Miscited the Law’
The Daily Beast ^ | Appril 16, 2018 | Kate Briquelet Olivia Messer

President Donald Trump and his longtime attorney Michael Cohen both lost a court challenge related to the FBI’s seizure of Cohen’s documents they both claim are protected by attorney-client privilege.

Cohen had asked a federal judge for a temporary restraining order to stop federal prosecutors in Manhattan from viewing the information seized by the FBI until an independent third party, called a “special master,” be allowed to sort out what is protected by attorney-client privilege.

[snip] The materials seized by FBI agents from Cohen’s home, office, safety deposit box, and hotel room includes “documents relating to communications with the president of the United States covered by the attorney-client privilege,” Cohen’s lawyer, Todd Harrison, said in Monday’s letter to Wood.

The Deep State says “The Law is what we say it is!”

“You’ve miscited the law.”

That’s an impeachable offense, right there!

The Judge only told Cohen what Hillary told her to say

It’s a twist on their usual ‘you have no standing.’

Meanwhile, foreign nationals are given the run of the courts.

Basically, no matter where this goes now...no convictions will stand. Each and everyone of these will be thrown out by the Supreme Court in the end. This would be an excellent case for the term of ‘burning bridges’ because anything gleaned from the raid...is hereby worthless.

“I have faith in the Southern District U.S. Attorney’s office that their integrity is unimpeachable,” Judge Wood said. “I think that a taint team is a viable option.”

Says the woman who has ties to Soros, and who was dating her husband while he was married to another woman. God help us if our freedom and well-being is dependent upon us having faith in the integrity of a government-paid attorney, particularly a prosecutor.

I’m not an attorney, but this really pisses me off.

All I can do is hold The President, Sean Hannity and our Constitution up in prayer.

Isn’t there anybody with power to stop these crooked judges, corrupt politicians and the media?

Yet illegal aliens will be given judicial preference and protection far more than the President of the United States! 🇺🇸 Do we even have a country anymore?

If your state holds primaries before the midterm election this November, my suggestion is to vote for anyone other than an incumbent...We desperately need some people in there who will fight for us...

That’s why Trump was elected...To get rid of “professional politicians”.....

Yep. I was talking about this very concept with some people regarding cell phone data acquisition.

Wait, so being here ILLEGALLY is too “vague” to prosecute? Once again the courts can’t interpret simple phrases? Unbelievable....meanwhile, lets continue to disarm legal gun owners with “vague” terms of “common sense”.

If they find anything it will be leaked or saved for the next election

However, all that being said, if you plan on fighting it in the court of public opinion, rules don’t really apply. It’s also the only court where the left really has a chance to win usually.

Gee, judge, taint don’t mean what you think it means. Ask Bill Clinton.

Attorney-client privilege is no more? That is a huge blow to due process. If we cannot be frank with an attorney, we cannot defend ourselves. I say remove District Court Judge Kimba Wood.

This only shows that we are going to have to revert to the days of Oliver Cromwell when he dealt with corrupt judges.
