Wat kan de reden zijn, dat Cohen gesprekken opneemt met bijv. / misschien ? Trump of anderen.
Is dat om zichzelf tr vrijwaren? als borg? wettelijke archivering.
Heeft Cohen geen papier shredder?

Wat een script voor een soap is dit toch.

The easiest way for Trump to fire Mueller is to order someone else to do it — and the most obvious person to start with is Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who stepped in to oversee the federal probe into the Trump campaign’s ties with Russia after Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself last year.

Het lijkt wel alsof er met de raid van Cohen een enorme beerput is open gegaan. Het is niet onwaarschijnlijk om te denken dat praktisch alle smerige praktijken waar hij en Trump bij betrokken zijn geweest nu langzaam naar buiten komen. Verklaart ook waarom die raid voor Trump wel de druppel lijkt te zijn die de emmer doet overlopen.

Maar Rosenstein gaat dat niet doen. Dus de route is: eerst Rosenstein ontslaan, en dan net zo lang zijn opvolgers ontslaan totdat je iemand krijgt die wel bereid is om Mueller weg te sturen.

Either Cohen lied to the president or the president lied to the nation about an allegation of treasonous conduct by his lawyer. reageer retweet

SethAbramson twitterde op zaterdag 14-04-2018 om 01:25:59 2/ And the chance Michael Cohen lied to Trump is essentially zero, given that both men have made clear that they anticipated all their conversations, on no matter what topic, would be privileged and never revealed to anyone. So there would have been no *reason* for Cohen to lie. reageer retweet

The FBI seized recordings President Donald Trump's attorney made of his conversations with a lawyer representing two women who had alleged affairs with Trump, a source familiar with the matter tells CNN.

The recordings could prove valuable to the government's criminal investigation of Michael Cohen. The President's personal attorney is under scrutiny in part for his role in seeking to suppress the alleged affair through a hush deal with porn star Stormy Daniels. The warrant sought information about that payment along with any information that connected Cohen with efforts to suppress disclosure of Trump's alleged affair with Playboy model Karen McDougal.

The warrant for the raids also specified that Cohen was being investigated for bank fraud, wire fraud and campaign finance issues, CNN reported earlier this week.

While Cohen has admitted to no wrongdoing, the intensity of the government's investigation will put significant pressure on one of the President's closest confidants. If Cohen chooses to cooperate rather than fight a potential case against him, then his knowledge about the President's activities could create serious problems for Trump as special counsel Robert Mueller continues his investigation.

While Trump was running for president, his business team was trying to develop a Trump tower in Moscow — with the help of a former Russian military intelligence officer. But in a twist, that former officer also provided intelligence to the US.

A former Russian spy helped Donald Trump’s business team seek financing for a Trump-branded tower in the heart of Moscow during the 2016 presidential campaign, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

This connection between Trump and Russian intelligence — made public here for the first time — is known to special counsel Robert Mueller’s team and raises fresh questions about the president’s connections to the Kremlin. The former agent, who had served in Russia’s military intelligence arm known as the GRU and later worked as an arms dealer, negotiated for financing from a Russian state-owned bank that was under US sanctions at the time.

But there is a twist: The former Russian spy also helped pass intelligence to the United States government on key national security matters, including al-Qaeda’s weapons caches and North Korea’s attempts to develop nuclear weapons. BuzzFeed News is not naming the Russian agent because two US intelligence officials said that doing so would endanger his life.
