    Cohen knew he was being looked at, as anyone close to Trump has been looked at. I'm pretty sure he did a fair bit of deleting, bleaching, and destroying in the last few weeks.

But the left is ok with that behaviour because Hillary is....well Hillary.

     

    I never said anything about Hillary - so nice try there buddy. I am not opposed to her being subjected to the same treatment at all. But I, as should any reasonalbe human being with an ounce of critical thinking ability, fall in the camp that where there is smoke there is fire. In other owrds it is pretty telling that these efforts are being made in the Trump circle. I highly doubt the FBI or Mueller etc. are in the business of taking these extreme measures all for a dog and pony show.

    Regardless of political affiliation I would say that it is extremely naive and ignorant to say otherwise.

    Mueller must have found something unrelated to the Russia investigation and contacted NY district attorney.

    This  is normal. IF Homicide was investigating a crime and found evidence of tax evasion ( crime scene document ..etc) , they would contact the IRS. there is no witch hunt !!!

    There are Facts and yours are crooked.
    Mueller did not Authorize the Raid or Execute the Raid and couldn't piss in NY if he had to.
    Berman,Trump appointee,SDNY recused himself for that fact.
    Mueller is investigating a Russian FairyTale and along with a Resistence Media only has eyes for Trump Impeachment.
    Rosenstein,creator of Meuller/deepest of Dark State operative authorized the Raid and worked through SDNY without a Recused Berman.

    I agree with Stu.  I saw Cohen's statement about how the FBI behaved when I was at the gym last night.  Then I realized it's probably because he ditched anything pertinent ages ago.  Of course he wasn't really that upset.  He made sure anything that'd qualify as evidence ended up destroyed or moved to whatever he deemed a more secure location.

    I never said anything about Hillary - so nice try there buddy. 

    I wasn't implying that you said anything about her, not really sure if you were/are a supporter of Hillarys. 

    I just pointed out Hillary because you did say...

    don't do things that are either illegeal or at a minimum shady / unethical and maybe just maybe you will not expose yourself to an FBI raid.

    The likeyhood of being raided has more to do with politics, than criminal activity.

    Why is Rush Limbaugh even still relevant? When do old rhinos march out into the savannah and just die.

    I saw a suggestion about pardoning because people were discussing on an article what was the motivation behind Cohen announcing he paid $130,000 in the first place.  Someone suggested Trump told him in advance that he'd pardon him.  Personally, even though I know everyone disagrees with me, I see Trump as someone who throws others under the bus before taking responsibility for something.  I don't see that happening.  Although, I do admit he doesn't care what anyone else thinks at this point so he could be brazen enough to do it.  Another person told me that I might be wrong about evidence being destroyed in advance.  He said that they wouldn't have executed the search on just a hunch of finding potential evidence.  Apparently, they'd only have done this with the intention of knowing there was important evidence to be seized.  I'm not a lawyer so I don't know the process, but I admit I'm curious to see what the FBI actually found if that is the case.  I assumed they couldn't have possibly gotten anything worth a damn.  I'm okay with being wrong if I learn something from the experience.

    Really?? 
    Take your pick.  The most listened-to host. The most influential radio show. Etc., etc.   He for sure is NOT a rhino. Haha! He may getting on up there.  But still very popular and influential. 

    Rush Limbaugh's show has been the number one commercial talk show since at least 1987 when record keeping began.[

     Most Popular and Influential Radio Hosts

    1. Rush Limbaugh

    REACH: Reagan/Conservative with 22 million-plus listners via 650 radio stations and the Armed Forces Radio Network. He publishes the Limbaugh Letter with 1.000,000 monthly readers and has talk radio’s No. 1 Web site. He’s also the author of two best-selling books.

    FAVORITE TOPIC: Himself (with laughs).

    MOST CONTROVERSIAL MOMENT: After a medical procedure, Limbaugh got addicted to prescription painkillers. Though such cases are rarely prosecuted, the Democratic state attorney where Limbaugh lives in Palm Beach County, Fla., strung out the matter for two and a half years, finally settling with Limbaugh and agreeing to drop the charges in April of this year.

    WEB SITE: www.rushlimbaugh.com

    Limbaugh is more than America’s most widely listened-to talk-radio host ("the most listened-to radio host on the planet," he likes to say). He is also the father of the current era of talk radio, and an influential player on America’s political scene. Before Limbaugh entered national syndication in August 1988, political talk radio was nearly dead and the AM dial was considered history. He revived and revitalized it with a fresh style of humor-laced commentary — or commentary-laced humor — now widely imitated by both conservative and liberal talk hosts.

    Limbaugh’s political clout has no equal among radio rivals. The wave of newly elected Republicans, that in 1994 won control of the House of Representatives for the first time in four decades, called themselves the "Dittohead Caucus," using the nickname of Limbaugh fans, and declared Limbaugh to be "an honorary member of Congress." President George H.W. Bush invited Limbaugh to visit the White House and sleep in the Lincoln Bedroom, and the ceremony at Limbaugh’s third wedding was performed by none other than Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

    Limbaugh’s influence has also been felt through what might be called the Rush Limbaugh School of Broadcasting. Appearances as guest hosts on his show helped launch the national talk-radio career of Sean Hannity, as well as of Michael Medved and Tony Snow.

    Hey, faceoff, what do you really like so much about Trump. And before you jump don't my throat, i'm not saying I necessarily dislike him. And I hate Hillary, so save the "leftie vs. rightie" window dressing. Give me some real reasons.

    All these things you are always asking for are easily looked up and found.  Then when someone shows you a source you disappear or downplay it.  Why ask...   anyway. Here's one quick glance to get what the guy is talking about:

    Just saying his point is valid, even if his number is off. Obviously, he a heap of money above salary.  
    But I'm not sure it's much different than any other politician.  Except maybe Joe.

    And even your source says 40 million whereas I asked where he got 95 million. So why even open your mouth on the subject if you're not actually adding anything?

    And you're right, his point is valid. Hey, politicians are shady. And they all reap the benefits. This includes Obama and it definitely includes Hillary. And i'm sure they both have unreported income floating around out there.

    Because I'm sure you realize he is just pointing out he made way more than his salary while in office.  Why nitpick the exact number instead of addressing his point?

    And very classy response about Rush.  You asked why he was relevant and I point because of his popularity and influence.  Then give you quotes and numbers telling you why.  Then you act like I quoted Rush to start with --- I didn't.  I had no idea Rush even said that.   Just telling you why others do.   
    But again you don't want to discuss; just nitpick it seems.  The fellow was just quoting the most popular Talk show host ever.  Why not ask him if he ever listens to Liberal talk show hosts and their views on Cohen --- or something along those lines?
    That would keep a discussion going instead of simply trying to put folks down.
