Here Are The Documents Recovered From Michael Cohen’s Shredder
Buzz Feed ^ | 2 July 2018 | Jason Leopold, Anthony Cormier

When the Department of Justice announced this month that investigators had pieced together records found in a shredder belonging to the president’s former lawyer Michael Cohen, critics, legal experts, and journalists feverishly speculated about what they might contain.

Michael Avenatti, the lawyer for adult film star Stormy Daniels and Cohen's devoted nemesis, tweeted that the shredded documents could be a “huge problem.” MSNBC host Ari Melber devoted a large part of his program in May to the shredded documents and suggested that “something is going down.” Asha Rangappa, a former FBI agent and CNN analyst, tweeted: “This is not going to end well for the defense.”

Now, BuzzFeed News has obtained documents reconstructed by the FBI. A close examination shows that the records are a combination of documents that prosecutors already had, handwritten notes about a taxi business, insurance papers, and correspondence from a woman described in court filings as a “vexatious litigant” who claims she is under government surveillance.

Rebuilt from thin strips of paper, the shredded records are sometimes difficult to comprehend. One page doesn’t include full words and is a jumble of numbers, letters, and bar codes. One document appears to be part of an envelope. There are fragments of handwritten notes. There is an invitation to a reception in Miami to meet with business representatives from Qatar. Several of the records seem to be insurance forms for an apartment.

The real takeaway...

Invest in a heavy duty cross cut shredder.

I was also thinking about the burn. Not the flush.

Clearly this man has no experience covering his ass.

Or it could be that these were meaningless documents that didn’t matter much.

Invest in a heavy duty cross cut shredder.

And have a fireplace, or a back yard charcoal grill.

Any evidence these people come up with will have been manufactured and they know it!
