We have lost America. It is being run by the communists leftists Democrats and we have nothing to break up these power criminals. President Trump has weak Republicans in the House and Senate and they for the most part are useless.

It wouldn’t shock me to find out that Jones was involved in creating the Steele dossier or something along those lines.

Seems inevitable that we are waiting to find out just how compromised she is.

Yes, if she “has the right amount of experience”, all that means is she plays for the correct team.

First of all, was there probable cause of a crime in the initial search of Michael Cohen’s place and if so, what was the crime for which they claimed probable cause?

If no probable cause, the search was invalid and illegal, thus, most likely, the fruit of the search should be inadmissible as evidence.

Secondly, if there was valid probable cause for the initial search did the search yield probable cause of a crime requiring further investigation?

If not, this whole thing is a sham.

Wonder if Hannity would have a case against this Judge and/or Court?

As this usurpation of and sedition against the U.S. Constitution and the American people continues, and become ever more extreme, I have to laugh at the fools who still believe and argue that we are not rushing headlong into our next civil war.

At this point, I fail to understand how such an outcome is unavoidable.

The fix is in for sure - she will nosy around for white collar & financial fraud.

One of her law firm's specialties is supposedly "white collar crime" defense as well as defending against other types of government-initiated litigation.

What practical effect that may have in this situation is certainly open to speculation.

“First of all, was there probable cause of a crime in the initial search of Michael Cohen’s place and if so, what was the crime for which they claimed probable cause?”

Presumably, yes, but the documents are all heavily redacted, so the public doesn’t know what those are. Not yet.

“Secondly, if there was valid probable cause for the initial search did the search yield probable cause of a crime requiring further investigation?”

That’s what this is all about. Cohen’s team asked that a 3rd party (the Special Master) be appointed in order to review the materials to determine was was covered under attorney-client priv, and what wasn’t. Cohen’s team asked for the Special Master, and got it.

"If no probable cause, the search was invalid and illegal, thus, most likely, the fruit of the search should be inadmissible as evidence."

"Evidence" is irrelevant. All that's needed is enough dirt to produce a reason for impeachment proceedings. Impeachment is a political process, not a criminal one, so rules of evidence don't apply.

I guess my biggest issue is the purported probable cause required for the initial search. On what grounds are they keeping the purported suspected crime from the public?

I know that here in Pennsylvania the courts appoint Special Masters in divorce cases. They deliver the financial anal exam and act as final arbiters of who gets what, if necessary.

“On the recommendation of Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Jones was nominated to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York by President Bill Clinton on October 18, 1995”
