Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen's office just got raided by the FBI. Source is from both the New York Times and a local Connecticut news station I like to watch.
FBI raids Michael Cohen's office for documents
Quote:
The FBI raided the office of Michael Cohen, a personal lawyer and confidant of President Donald Trump, The New York Times reported Monday.

Stephen Ryan, a lawyer for Cohen, said the US Attorney's office for the Southern District of New York had executed "a series of search warrants and seized the privileged communications" between Cohen and his clients, according to the Times.

This story is breaking and will be updated.

It’s for bank fraud and campaign finance violations.
More than likely. It's also possible he knew everything with Trump was fishy and connected to Russia somehow.
Why can’t you idiots stop speculating and circlejerking about trumps demise and just wait til the investigation is complete...

Besides that... what’s your endgame? A pence presidency? It honestly only gets worse after trump...

It’s for bank fraud and campaign finance violations. That’s why Cohen’s office is being raided.

For Geoffrey Berman to get a No-Knock Search Warrant on an attorney approved by a judge; that requires a substantial amount of evidence. It’s not normal. When it’s the offices of an attorney who has a sitting President for a client it’s a big deal.

It’s such a big deal that Trump has equated the raid as an attack on America.

At the 55 min mark he addresses the raid. His body language is very uncomfortable, like Nixon. So are his words.

It's funny. The New York AG ordered this raid, meaning Trump can't pardon Cohen.

But can he pardon me for some Grey Poupon ?

Everytime I see John Bolton on TV, I half expect him to whip out a cowboy hat and a guitar and start stuttering through Crambone.

Ukraine Oligarch's Payment for Trump Speech Under Scrutiny
President's foundation got $150K for a speech during the campaign from Victor Pinchuk
Newser

Quote:
...
The speech was set up by political consultant Doug Schoen, who works with Pinchuk and is a regular guest on Fox News, but it was Trump attorney Michael Cohen who solicited the payment after the speech was arranged....

Correct me if I'm wrong, isn't it a high-level felony crime at all levels of state and federal government to accept campaign donations from foreign nationals?

Well, Mr. Genius Lawyer Candlejack, let's look at the actual wording instead of the conclusions you are immediately jumping to.

Here's a quote from the New York Times:

Quote:
Foreign nationals and countries are prohibited from donating directly to American political campaigns, but have given hundreds of millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation, which works globally to combat AIDS/H.I.V., malaria, childhood obesity and climate change, and promotes women’s rights and other causes.

Okay, now let's compare that to Chanti's crap article:

Quote:
Billionaire Victor Pinchuk made the payment to the Donald J. Trump Foundation after Trump gave a 20-minute speech by video to a conference in Kiev.

Notice a similarity here?

The only reason anyone cares is because it's Trump and because it's mah Russia, and the Pavlovian response is to make a big deal out of that word association because that's what you have been conditioned to do. Never mind the fact that donations from foreign governments to the foundations of American candidates is common, especially among the Clintons.

Actually Rav it was a pro Russian Ukrainian. And he didn't offer a donation, nor did Trump request one, Cohen asked him for one after the speech was arranged.

And yes, it went to Trump's foundation, not Trump, not the campaign.

And it is Victor Pinchuk who is under investigation about this. But I wonder if Cohen's link was part of the stuff that led to the now infamous search warrant.

P. S. I would love to see a transcript of the speech.

And the only reason you don’t care is trump... you were saying Hillary should go to prison for this and now with trump it doesn’t seem to be an issue... that or whatever other excuse someone has come up with...

This one isn’t you but I always love the it’s only detestable if you cheat on your wife while you’re the president... if you’re not the president at the time then it’s ok... defending their hatred of bill while justifying their support for trump...

Everyone’s been so hypocritical at one point or another it’s become pretty hard to call anyone out for anything lol...

Umm, yeah, no. I never said that Hillary should to go to prison for contributions to the foundation specifically. That's not to say that the Clinton Foundation wasn't involved in shady/illegal stuff, however....

CJ...

NYC taxi medallions are actual, physical items. One is riveted to the hood of every legal taxi in the city. The number of medallions hasn't increased in maybe half a century. So they get more valuable as time goes by.

The appreciation on a physical item is not taxable. When it is sold it is taxable as capital gains.

One doesn't need KN's knowledge of tax law to know that.
