Raid on Trump's Lawyer Sought Records of Payments to Women

WASHINGTON — The F.B.I. agents who raided the office of President Trump’s personal lawyer on Monday were looking for records about payments to two women who claim they had affairs with Mr. Trump, and information related to the publisher of The National Enquirer’s role in silencing one of the women, several people briefed on the investigation said.

The search warrant carried out by the public corruption unit of the Manhattan federal attorney’s office seeks information about Karen McDougal, an ex-Playboy model who claims she carried on a nearly yearlong affair with Mr. Trump shortly after the birth of his son in 2006. Ms. McDougal was paid $150,000 by American Media Inc., the Enquirer’s parent company, whose chief executive is a friend of Mr. Trump’s.

Agents were also searching Michael D. Cohen’s office for information related to Stephanie Clifford, better known as Stormy Daniels, who says she also had sex with Mr. Trump while he was married. Mr. Cohen has acknowledged that he paid Ms. Clifford $130,000 as part of a nondisclosure agreement to secure her silence just days before the 2016 presidential election.

1. I'm pretty sure that's just part of the story

What they are really looking for is proof of money laundering associated with Russian oligarchs

2. So many crimes...

..so little time.

3. Pretty sure you are correct:

Replying to @TeaPainUSA

Republican referral;
Republican Deputy AttorneyGeneral ; Republican US Attorney (and hand picked Trump donor and supporter) Republican Judges, and Republican/Trump appointed head of FBI.
Yep it must be SOME intel and evidence of one hell of a crime."


1. Mueller passes probable crimes by Trump's lawyer not related to the Russian collusion case to the FBI.

2. FBI raids attorney's office and turns everything over to a "taint team" to ensure attorney/client privilege isn't violated.

3. Any relevant materials that are not tainted are turned over to Mueller.

4. This will include any collusion between Trump and his attorney to commit crimes.

4. One of trump's greatest traits

Is his inability to plan or even to conceive of what that means. He is completely impulsive! Of course this means he leaves tons of evidence just lying around.
