Feds monitored Trump lawyer Michael Cohen's phones(NOT wired TAP)
NBC ^

Posted on 05/03/2018 2:38:54 PM PDT by janetjanet998

EDITOR'S NOTE: Earlier today, NBC News reported that there was a wiretap on the phones of Michael Cohen, President Trump’s longtime personal attorney, citing two separate sources with knowledge of the legal proceedings involving Cohen.

But three senior U.S. officials now dispute that, saying that the monitoring of Cohen’s phones was limited to a log of calls, known as a pen register, not a wiretap where investigators can actually listen to calls.

NBC News has changed the headline and revised parts of the original article.

LOL, caught red handed again peddling fake anti-Trump news.
The media is now demonstrating an obvious activist role, nothing to do with impartial news.

No contract is binding if both parties don’t have a copy.

Unless you're the lying feds.

With the apps that show your number is calling you and such, how does that play with this pen log? With today’s tech, they can go through proxy this and proxy that to make Trump’s private number call Stormy’s private number any time they wish.

Not an accurate statement of the law, at all.

'since Bell and Morse' exactly. When Jack Ruby was in a Dallas hospital dying of cancer after killing Oswald, he said to his sister who was visiting from Chicago, "Let's give Hershey the business."

Within six hours the "man" a squad of FBI agents showed up at Hershey Chocolate headquarters in Pennsylvania demanding to see records, interview executives, board members etc.

Ruby died a few days later and his funeral was held at the Weinstein Bros. funeral Home on Peterson Avenue in Chicago. In charge of the arrangement was Herschel "Hershey" Weinstein, a classmate of Ruby's.

The FBI denied tapping Ruby's deathbed and ignored the Hershey raid. LOL

I was afraid of that.

Can you tell me what the case is ?

For years I have insisted that any document I sign, must be provided to me as in my copy. We both know how many times you are asked to sign something and then you leave that place and don’t even know what you signed, etc.

One example is when I gave blood, the first and last time. I asked for copies of forms I signed and was told no. That should be illegal.

Thanks for your time in answering.

I’ve written warrants for this.

When you ask for the pen-register, at least when I did it, you’re asking for historical data and the locations that the calls and texts were made from and received.

The warrants are given to the cellphone service provider.

Unfortunately, the DEA has worn out the process by which law enforcement can get the information quickly. Because they would go up on a drug dealers phone, get all the calls in/out and then start charging everyone and anyone with conspiracy in the hopes that someone would rollover. Can you imagine the bully, Mueller, doing something like that? I’m sure that’s hard to believe.[heavy sarcasm].

Just imagine, Mueller and his henchman have all that data. They do some research on the calls with ordinary databases like, LexisNexis-Accurint-Clear-TLo, to identify the people who communicated with Cohen. A criminal history search here or there, a call into the IRS, or the SEC(not college football) and they identify someone that has something to lose. A knock on the door and an investigator asks, “did you have any contact with Cohen on D-Day, at H-Hour and talk for 23 minutes? Where were you that day?” That person says, NO, and says they were at their mothers house. Feds determine that the guy was at the track, betting on horses. They just violated 18USC1001, Lying to a Federal Investigator. Two days later, when they’re walking to their front door to their home, two US Marshals approach and take them into custody for said violation. They are then taken to an interview where they can give Mueller something on Cohen or they go to federal prison.

They don’t need to listen in on calls. They’ll get to Cohen this way. Remember, in so many perjury cases, it was never proven that someone lied, the Fed’s just produced someone that said the defendant lied. The Fed’s rely on intimidation and the ability to bankrupt you into submission. And this is clearly what Mueller is trying to do now. Probably why Rosenstein picked him, knowing there was nothing.

If I was an associate of Cohen’s, in any way shape or form, I’d remember that the 5th Amendment is your friend, keep your mouth shut and ask for a lawyer.

Forgot to add....

The Trap and Trace stuff is normally used when they want to track a cellphone signal, to try and find someone that is involved in some type of crime...fugitive, kidnapping, murder, robbery...stuff like that.

It's not a "correction", it's the uterly corrupt FBI trying to perpetrate another cover up and cover their butts after previously disclosing that they had ILLEGALLY wire tapped (listened to) Attorney Cohen, this attorney's clients, and most likely the President of the United States, WEEKS BEFORE THE FBI BROKE INTO HIS OFFICES AS PART OF THEIR ONGOING, ILLEGAL, SOFT COUP, WITCH HUNT, "FISHING EXPEDITION" TO BRING DOWN President Trump.

Do not be deceived, this isn't a "correction". The FBI is unsuccessfully trying to "walk back" the fact that they BROKE THE LAW, MOST LIKELY MULTIPLE LAWS.

I don’t talk to anyone. I was once a person who believed that you have nothing to worry about if you’re innocent, but they treat victims the same as criminals. It’s obscene what passes for justice in this “free” country.

I’m not a Libertarian, but also I’m no law-and-order conservative anymore. Too many “Conservatives” are too happy building the scaffolds for their own progeny. I say starve the beast at every chance.

What’s happening to Trump occurs every minute across the country, but the little people’s stories rarely make headlines. I didn’t start out supporting Trump, but I now love him and pray for him daily.

Many contracts do not have to be in writing at all. (A hot dog vendor has a street cart with a sign that says "Hot Dogs $1." You go over to him and hold up 2 fingers; he hands you two hot dogs. You now owe him $2. That's a contract.)

Even when contracts have to be in writing (every state has something called a "statute of frauds" requiring certain kinds of contracts to be in writing, but the list varies from state to state), all that the law requires is that the person seeking to enforce the contract produce a writing signed by the other party.

If you do sign something, you should insist on getting a copy; I've never heard of anyone refusing that.
