re: #76 ObserverArt

A reminder. This Cohen office search is being reported as not part of the Mueller investigation. There seems to be info that Mueller shared with New York prosecutors and is part of the Stormy Daniels investigation only…at this time.

And part of that may have to do with Mueller staying away from this to not run into any issues with his own investigations. It could keep Trump from further considering firing Rosenstein…and then having Mueller fired. Trump is going to try to sell this as overreach and he may not be able to.

And, is that info to help Avenatti’s case because it could be related to Trump financial records (see IRS tax forms).

It appears to be a further squeeze on Cohen to blow-up and turn on Trump. Mueller sees benefits in Avenatti taking on Cohen and Trump.

Of course Mueller followed procedure, and apparently what he had on Cohen yesterday was (a) criminal; (b) apparently unrelated to Russia; and (c) at least not clearly involving the Trump Presidential campaign.

However, if the Feds in New York find anything to contradict (b) or (c), I suspect they will be on the phone to Mueller’s people, one of whom will take the next flight unless he is already drinking coffee next door.

Also, can it really be that Stormy is our hero?!
