So Michael Cohen owns something like a dozen taxis here in Chicago. Taxi cabs are apparently a common way to launder money for the, brace yourselves, the Russian mafia.

Russian mafya gave Trump a golden shower in exchange for reduced-fee money laundering. Tell me I'm wrong.

Cohen works out of the same Trump tower as Gazprom https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/michael-cohens-ties-to-russia-crime-and-trump-w518941 quote:An investigation by Reuters found that at least 63 individuals with Russian passports or addresses have bought at least $98.4 million worth of property in the seven Trump-branded luxury towers. And that was a conservative estimate. At least 703 – or about one-third – of the 2044 units were owned by limited liability companies, or LLCs, which could conceal the property's true owner. Executives from Gazprom and other Russian natural resource giants also owned units in Trump's Sunny Isles towers. In an observation that several people I spoke with echoed, Kenneth McCallion, a former prosecutor who tracked the flows of Russian criminal money into Trump's properties, told me, "Trump's genius – or evil genius – was, instead of Russian criminal money being passive, incidental income, it became a central part of his business plan." McCallion continued, "It's not called 'Little Moscow' for nothing. The street signs are in Russian. But his towers there were built specifically for the Russian middle-class criminal."

Depending on what Cohen forgot to destroy, I'm willing to bet there will be more raids on that specific Trump tower, because its flush with known Russian mob/gang members.

i'm stating something that seems way obvious at this point but i'm still gonna laugh when evidence is found that trump's entire business is a big money laundering scheme and has been for a decade or more.

I can't believe how loving transparent this all is. If it turns out that somehow this is all completely legal or above board I will eat a month. NB: It not mattering is not the same as it being legal

I've been wondering: why raid Cohen over Trump stuff? Trump is notoriously tech-averse, so he doesn't email, he mostly just talks on the phone. So, it stands to reason that Cohen wouldn't have any emails or anyth-quote:President Trump’s personal attorney Michael D. Cohen sometimes taped conversations with associates, according to three people familiar with his practice, and allies of the president are worried that the recordings were seized by federal investigators in a raid of Cohen’s office and residences this week. Lordy, there are tapes

quote:The first time Comey met Trump was at the pre-inauguration intelligence briefing. Comey, who is 6’8” tall, writes that the 6’3” president-elect looked shorter than he did on television. “His face appeared slightly orange,” Comey writes, “with bright white half-moons under his eyes where I assumed he placed small tanning goggles, and impressively coifed, bright blond hair, which upon close inspection looked to be all his.”

I don't know the answer to this question and it will be one hell of a trivia question. I've done some minor googling and didn't find anything. The question: has anyone received a presidential commutation AND a presidential pardon? https://twitter.com/KFaulders/status/984600620958183425

How is it that, if you've got a bunch of records of shady poo poo and any sort of connection to Trump, you aren't storing those records in a steel drum buried in the woods in upstate New York underneath a thermite booby trap? Especially at this stage of Mueller's investigation, I just can't fathom why you'd keep that stuff around your office. Is it just so entangled with everything they've done that there's no way to load a few boxes into a U-haul in the middle of the night?

yeah comey should have waited until after the election to release information relevant to the investigation into hillary clinton that he got before the election. i'm sure that would have ended well for him.
