Michael Cohen raid rattles Trump allies: Did feds seize president's communications?
Fox News ^ | 23 April 2018 | Adam Shaw

While Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has told President Trump he is not the target of the investigation into Michael Cohen, the stunning FBI raid on Trump's personal attorney has spurred mounting speculation about what presidential communications, if any, the feds might have picked up.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York says Cohen has been under investigation for months, and they were behind the raid. But the move has so rattled Trump's allies that Republican Rep. Jim Jordan on Monday plans to send a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions asking whether he was consulted.

"We're not talking about just any lawyer, it's the lawyer for the president of the United States," he told "Fox & Friends."

Actually, there were leaks complaining that they got so little that Cohen was not even a lawyer

I have now come to the conclusion that Sessions is fully behind the coup-de-tah. That’s why so many never-trumpers in congress want to protect him. Do you hear any complaints about Sessions from them? Its Sessions job to stop this sort of thing and to prosecute the law-breakers. Not only should he be fired, perhaps he should be seriously investigated.

If you are right then Sessions is the worst kind of devious Swamp Weasel because he latched onto Trump’s campaign early on as a faux-supporter in order to get himself into this position.

That’s why they raided Cohen’s home and offices, to find the President’s communications. Everyone knows that.

There’s witness, subject and targets of investigations.

When I read Trump is not a target I read: Trump is not a target until he is.

“Trump can become a target real fast.”

They think they can pull some BS maneuver to oust Trump. If they do, they will find themselves on the recieving end on some well earned civiluan justice.

WOW, the more we read about Mueller’s and friendly judges raiding not only offices of people in question, but their homes also. Shades of Hitler, Stalin, Moa and the dictators list goes on. When did America become country where lawyers can have peoples offices and homes raided, even raided in the middle of the night ! ?

I think that Sessions was a true Trump supporter during the campaign. After Trump won and the swamp media and government types started putting the screws to him, Sessions may have become afraid that something in his past (or that of one of his family) would be exposed if he went after anyone in the previous administration. No one had to overtly threaten him. He knows about the left ruining people lives, even if they don't Arkanside them.

So far all the leaking has to do with Sean Hannity.

Of course not. That would be wrong. It appears though, that some do not see the seriousness of their indifference towards us. If things do get hot it will be their fault and they should be on the front line. Hopefully there will be a less drastic way to get their attention.

The point is, how would it be any different if he was a bonafide deep stater?
