Update,…
NBCis now saying there was NO wiretap on Cohen’s phone…
They are reporting that there was just auto tracking on the phone numbers Cohen called….
…
Add this guy the list of people in deep shit with the Feds….
Mueller and his people have systematically investigated EVERYONE that has had contact with Trump during the campaign and the transition ….
We see that some have been found not on the ‘up and up’….
Will Michael Cohen join others in giving Trump up to Mueller’s people?
Lordy, there are tapes.
Federal investigators wiretapped President Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, in the weeks before they raided his Manhattan home, office and hotel room, according to a report Thursday.
At least one phone call between Cohen and the White House was intercepted, NBC Newsreported.
Trump was outraged by the raid of his longtime “fixer,” saying the FBI “broke in” and calling it “a witch hunt” and “an attack on our country.”
The Feds seized reams of documents, several cell phones and computers in their search.
Investigators were reportedly targeting information on a campaign era payout Cohen made to porn star Stormy Daniels in an attempt to squash her 2006 fling with the future President.
It has also been reported that Giuliani warned Trump that Cohen is likely to flip on him….
Republican Congressman Charlie Dent rips Sarah Sanders and calls for hearing on the Stormy Daniels’ payment:
http://insider.foxnews.com/2018/05/03/republican-charlie-dent-blasts-sarah-sanders-wants-stormy-daniels-hearings
Sarah H Sanders says what they tell her to say
WTF people are going after her is beyond me…
We’ll see how far Dent goes
She is part of “they.”
If she has any objection to what she is asked to do, she can leave at anytime.
A simple answer that you as a Republic should know better…
I’m sure she was excited as Hucksbee’s daughter to become the voice for Trump
Probably should have been forewarned by Sean Spicers beatdown…
To do the job you’d HAVE TO BE a true believer
But she’s working for Trump
A guy who never had a need for someone to talk GOR him….
Again?
I find it stupid that the media types are holding her accountable for stuff Trump & Co. tell her to say….
Furthermore?
Trump lies and changes direction constantly
That is not her fault…
Should she quit?
If she doesn’t believe in her boss?
Sure…
She’s there of her own free will, just like any man would be.
If she lies for him while being paid by the taxpayers, she should be called on it.
No doubt she should be called to task….
But she works for Trump….
The guy DEMANDS loyalty from his people
That seems to be what he’s getting from her….
Unlike Trump
She HAS to have thick skin
And sharp elbows
So, as an extension of him, why is she immune from critique or ridicule? (Not suggesting people focus on her looks)
Traditionally, the Press Secretary was supposed to be sort of a middle ground conduit between the Press Corps and the Administration.
The role may have changed a bit, but it was never supposed to be a strictly propaganda job.
I agree in dealing with the media she gonna get beat up
That comes with job
But remember?
Trump lies like rug
And she does work for HIM
She’s not on his campaign staff. She’s a government employee.
In other words, she works for “us” and so did the Secretary of the State who was “extremely careless” and “grossly negligent” by having classified information on a server in her basement.
He, he, he…..
Hillary Clinton is old news that u don’t get points for anymore
Remember Ron Ziegler ? (For you green-eared, callow youngsters out there, he was Richard Nixon’s press secretary.) And the “fifth-rate burglary attempt” ?
I think he passed on even graver lies than Sarah Sanders or Seán Spicer did.
Michael Cohen needs to give up and speak to Mueller’s people…
“Federal prosecutors investigating President Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen are poised to receive on Wednesday one million files from three of his cellphones seized last month, according to a filing submitted to the court by special master Barbara Jones Tuesday night,” the Washington Post reports….

…
A longtime business partner of President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen, whose business dealings are being scrutinized by federal prosecutors, pleaded guilty on Tuesday in a state tax fraud case that requires him to cooperate in any ongoing investigation, according to a person briefed on the deal.
Yellow cab magnate Evgeny “Gene” Freidman, the so-called Taxi King of New York, pleaded guilty to a single count of tax fraud in an Albany courthouse, almost a year after state prosecutors and tax authorities charged him with pocketing $5 million in mandatory, per-ride transportation fees….

(Cohen himself, owes NYS and NYC money from the taxi business )
The “Taxi King of New York” has nothing on Abe Froman, the Sausage King of Chicago.
Cohen also has a taxi situation in Chicago.
Mueller and the US Atty in NY are given a ‘Go’ in their effort’s to search Michael Cohen’s data, telephone’s , etc in their investigation of Cohen and All things Trump…..
A federal judge rejected President Trump’s effort Friday to keep legal arguments over certain documents seized by the FBI from Michael Cohen completely secret.
Trump’s attorney, Joanna Hendon, had sought an unusual level of confidentiality for papers she plans to file challenging a ruling by the retired judge overseeing the review of Cohen’s documents for attorney-client privilege….

I forgot Dent is retiring
That is the end of the story on any ‘investigation’
Of course Dent is retiring. It would be nice to see Republicans who aren’t quitting stand up to this Criminal Administration–but I won’t hold my breath.
This is warning to Trump & Co to not try and talk and or deal with any person that Mueller has spoken to or wants to deal with….
Mueller’s people are fucking seriously on the case…
NBC has retracted their story about a Cohen wiretap.
Bad journalism.
The story is not retracted
It’s corrected
I just updated the post
The Feds had a trace listing where and who
He called….
No listening in….
Meanwhile back in NYC

Michael Cohen has told friends that he expects to be arrested any day now, a source close to Cohen tells Vanity Fair.
“Trump should be super worried about Michael Cohen,” a former W.H. official said. “If anyone can blow up Trump, it’s him.”
