    Why? Cohen has been Trumps fixer for like 20 years. Of course he's going to be targeted in the investigation. A republican attorney appointed by Trump had to convince a republican judge appointed by Trump that the raid was warranted. How can that be any less clean? Who are you to disagree and with what authority?

    What concerns me is how both extremes are now taking the position of destroying the other side is a win, even if they lose what was built over two hundred years ago.

    Because attorneys and clients have that privilege. Can you post a photo of the warrant - that states the intended search is for private phone calls? There are overreaches beyond what a warrant allows for all the time, and I think this is one of them.

    And you can stop with who appointed these folks - that see Mueller involved and likely don't want to be a part of the witch hunt. Really, I truly don't care WHO is the judge and prosecutor - none of that means that the president of the USA should have such privilege taken away.

    Who are YOU to disagree? My little bitch, that's who.

    Put your bong down for a moment and try to focus. See, this sort of idiocy is why you lose at a startling rate.


    YOU made the call that we're a bunch of idiots and don't know what we're talking about, when YOU have been proven to be wrong damn near every time you open your mouth.

    How do you justify that?

    It's hard to get things done when the other side spends every waking hour working against you, and voting against you, simply because they are the other side. And it pretty much happens the same way when the other is in power. This needs a way of getting fixed, but I'm clueless as to how.

    As for Trump/Cohen, I have no issue with an investigation, but I do have an issue with plenty of what they seized. Doing this to the president, and to his personal attorney, and the attorney/client privilege that exists - the precedent being set is mind boggling and scary.
    I agree that both sides do it, but in my lifetime, I have never seen any political party go after a sitting President as relentlessly and completely as the Dems are going after Trump. And I am including Nixon. At least in that case he was allowed to do his job for a while, first. The attacks on Trump started before he was even sworn in.

    I am just hoping that America sees the witch hunt for what it is, and finds the unfairness extremely distasteful, because this subterranean level dirty partisan politics will never end. Just the fact that Hillary is free, while they attack Trump, is gross.

    I think I posted back a few months about how the worm has turned in American politics with the Trump era. To use another metaphor, the horse is out of the barn.
