FBI Raid of Michael Cohen Suggests Mueller Has Found More Crimes

The FBI is not playing with President Trump.

On Monday, the FBI raided the office of Trump’s longtime personal lawyer, Michael D. Cohen. They took with them records related to several topics, including payments to a porn actress, according to the New York Times.

This search was not related to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s work, but rather appears to have been something additional, possibly uncovered by Mueller’s Russia investigation and turned over to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.

But it’s not all Stormy.

“The F.B.I. also seized emails, tax documents and business records, the person said,” the Times reported. Including “communications between Mr. Trump and Mr. Cohen…”

Ah. Aren’t thorough investigations just the worst.

Former White House and Congressional Committee lawyer Andy Wright made the point that Mueller possibly found evidence relevant to potential crimes outside his scope:

And what if Cohen is offered a deal for this potential crime in exchange for testimony in the Mueller investigation, Joyce Alene points out:

Mueller does not rest, he will get his man whoever it is.
