ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Investigators in New York state have issued a subpoena to Michael Cohen as part of their criminal probe into the Trump Foundation.

A spokesman for Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s tax department confirmed the subpoena to The Associated Press on Wednesday.

The subpoena was issued after Cohen’s attorney said the longtime lawyer for President Donald Trump has information that would be of interest to prosecutors at both the state and federal level.

As a close Trump confidant, Cohen could potentially be a significant source of information for state investigators looking into whether Trump or his charity broke state law or lied about their tax liability.

Anyone charged with a state crime could not be pardoned by the president.

Messages left with attorneys for Cohen and Trump were not immediately returned Wednesday.

23. Love it!

Corks will be popping across the country when this crime family goes down!

7. Yup. And Cohen was ALSO the RNC Deputy Finance Chairman!

"Mueller, not only shined the spotlight on yet another Trump associate who is possibly under investigation, but, also puts it, indirectly at least, on the Republican National Committee. Cohen is also the deputy finance chairman of the RNC, which is responsible for the bulk of its fundraising operations – and is the third member of the committee, including the former chairmen – to have come under severe scrutiny in nearly as many months."

Mueller & NYAG dig deeper & deeper....till they hit RICO & Money Laundering from foreign mob money.

They will all go down

PROPERTY SEIZURE...

9. Excellent

[BumRushDaShow]

16. But the kicker is that the RNC co-Deputy Finance Chair

was Elliott Broidy, who used Cohen to work out more hush money agreements, and we know how THAT all panned out!

They really need to take a look at some of those other RNC folks in leadership positions who came in with those two as well.

[Wwcd]

20. Geezus yes! Its gonna be a really Long List of thugs.

Jeff Sessions was right.."we need to build more prisons"

Someone on late night news, yesterday, made a ref to Special Councel's questions for Manafort as to when he joined the Campaign & the switch that occurred during the Repub Convention.
Basically pointing to the moment when Putin took over Trump & the Party.

Can't recall which News show I saw it on.
CNN /MSNBC.

So this is another major turning point as to Russian involvement in the election that Mueller is interested in. (He probably has all the info & just needs an admission from Manafort or Cohen)

That brings into the picture every one of the Repubs at that convention who were aware of & complicit with what was going down.

24. CSPAN has the archive video of the RNC convention

and oddly enough (*ahem*), the video for the panel that was discussing the changes to the Ukraine platform (which took place a day or so before the convention officially started), was messed up. I believe this was the portion where the debate happened - https://www.c-span.org/video/?412506-1/republican-national-committee-holds-platform-hearing

The caption for the above was this -

July 12, 2016
Republican National Committee Platform Hearings, Part 1

The Republican National Committee met in Cleveland for day two of its meeting to draft and vote on the party’s platform for the 2016 elections. In this portion, members talked about the party’s foreign policy plank.

Due to technical issues, this program is not for sale.

The audio and video is completely out of sync. Pts 2, 3, & 4 (separate videos from the above-linked one) were fine.

I also noticed that CSPAN has updated their website format for the archives into a nicer layout but as an FYI, the RNC convention stuff is here -

25. Ahhh of course they messed up the incriminating video.

Its ok. Mueller has ways of making the truth known.

Dirty rotten crooks
