According to a person familiar with the probes, on Aug. 12, a senior Justice Department official called Mr. McCabe to voice his displeasure at finding that New York FBI agents were still openly pursuing the Clinton Foundation probe during the election season. Mr. McCabe said agents still had the authority to pursue the issue as long as they didn’t use overt methods requiring Justice Department approvals.

The Justice Department official was “very pissed off,” according to one person close to McCabe, and pressed him to explain why the FBI was still chasing a matter the department considered dormant. . . .

“Are you telling me that I need to shut down a validly predicated investigation?” Mr. McCabe asked, according to people familiar with the conversation.

After a pause, the official replied “Of course not,” these people said.

Prosecutors argued that the previously seized emails revealed that Mr. Cohen was “performing little to no legal work, and that zero emails were exchanged with President Trump.” They said their investigation was focused on Mr. Cohen’s business dealings, not his work as a lawyer.

But it is difficult to extract Mr. Cohen from his work for Mr. Trump. For more than a decade, Mr. Trump has unleashed Mr. Cohen on his foes — investigative journalists, business rivals and potential litigants. And the New York search warrant makes clear that the authorities are interested in his unofficial role in the campaign.

Prosecutors demanded all communication with the campaign — and in particular two advisers, Corey Lewandowski and Hope Hicks, according to two people briefed on the warrants.

Prosecutors also seized recordings of conversations that Mr. Cohen had secretly made, but he told people in recent days that he did not tape his conversations with Mr. Trump. Mr. Cohen frequently taped conservations with adversaries and opposing lawyers, according to the two people briefed.

This was the one part of the dossier that was verifiable, but unproven, or seemingly contradicted.

WASHINGTON
The Justice Department special counsel has evidence that Donald Trump’s personal lawyer and confidant, Michael Cohen, secretly made a late-summer trip to Prague during the 2016 presidential campaign, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

Confirmation of the trip would lend credence to a retired British spy’s report that Cohen strategized there with a powerful Kremlin figure about Russian meddling in the U.S. election.

Stormy Daniels' Lawyer Michael Avenatti Drops a Bomb on CNN:

Cohen's Cigar Buddies Have 'Russian Ties'

Avenatti claimed that the men Cohen was seen smoking cigars with outside of a courthouse on Friday afternoon (https://www.rawstory.com/2018/04/msnbc-panel-analyzes-michael-cohen-nda-industrial-complex-federal-investigation/) had unspecified ties to the Russian government.

"Michael Cohen was videotaped and photographed sitting with a number of men," Avenatti said.

"We believe that a number of those actually had ties, Russian ties, as crazy as that sounds.

This story gets more strange and more strange by the day.

You couldn't make this up if you wanted to."

Tapper seemed taken aback by Avenatti's allegations and pressed him for more details.

"Can you shed more light on what you said?" he asked. "I mean, I saw a picture of one of the people he was sitting with, and he has ties to one particular Russian wealthy individual. What else are you talking about?"

"I don't want to say too much this morning, but you can't make this stuff up," Avenatti replied.

"I don't understand what he is doing, what Michael Cohen's doing with each passing day.

This is getting worse and worse for him and

getting worse and worse for the president."

GOP Rep. Trey Gowdy Defends Michael Cohen Raid: ‘Nothing to Do With Politics’ (https://www.thedailybeast.com/gop-rep-trey-gowdy-defends-michael-cohen-raid-nothing-to-do-with-politics?source=articles&via=rss&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+thedailybeast%2Farticles+%28T he+Daily+Beast+-+Latest+Articles%29&yptr=yahoo)



A top House Republican on Sunday defended the FBI raid (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/09/us/politics/fbi-raids-office-of-trumps-longtime-lawyer-michael-cohen.html) on President Donald Trump’s longtime personal attorney Michael Cohen (https://www.thedailybeast.com/michael-cohen-may-learn-the-hard-way-that-theres-no-such-thing-as-consigliere-client-privilege)’s home and office last week, as the president continues to assail what he views as a breach of attorney-client privilege.

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, argued that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein—who is overseeing special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation and has come under heavy criticism from Trump allies—was right to authorize the raid, and that Mueller was just in referring the matter to prosecutors in New York.

“I don’t know what Mueller was supposed to do other than what he did. When a prosecutor comes in contact with information or evidence of a crime, what are you supposed to do, other than refer to the appropriate jurisdiction?” Gowdy said on Fox News Sunday.

Gowdy characterized the approval process for the raid as arduous and fair, adding that it was ultimately given the green light by a “neutral” judge “who has nothing to do with politics.”

Gowdy, who announced recently that he would not seek re-election, has been one of the top GOP defenders (https://www.thedailybeast.com/republicans-to-trump-leave-mueller-alone) of Mueller and his investigation into Russian election meddling and possible collusion between Trump associates and Russian operatives.

“How this is Mueller’s fault just defies logic to me,” the South Carolina Republican added.

Trump has called the Cohen raid which took place a week ago “disgraceful” and “an attack on our country in a true sense,” and on Sunday it was still on the president’s mind.

[boutons_deux]

US Attorney makes the case that Cohen is a fixer, not an attorney...oh, and they've got the proof (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/4/13/1756896/-US-Attorney-makes-the-case-that-Cohen-is-a-fixer-not-an-attorney-oh-and-they-ve-got-the-proof)

Cohen is attempting to stop anyone from looking at what was seized in the raid on the grounds of attorney-client privilege.

The USAO-SDNY’s boils down to: he really isn’t acting as a lawyer...he’s Trump’s fixer. This is a direct quote from their filing (https://pacer-documents.s3.amazonaws.com/119/491943/127122241322.pdf):

Cohen claims that the materials seized include “thousands of privileged documents and communications related to numerous clients of Mr. Cohen, as well as Mr. Cohen’s privileged communications with his own attorneys.”

Although the USAO-SDNY and FBI have not yet reviewed the seized materials, there is considerable reason to doubt that assertion….

it is neither apparent

(i) that Cohen, in his capacity as an attorney, has many, or any, attorney-client relationships other than with President Donald Trump (indeed, he does not specifically identify any in his motion and thus far has refused to identify any to the USAO-SDNY),

nor (ii) that the seized communications will include a significant volume of communications with that one identified client.


They proceed to enumerate the reasons.

First “Cohen’s claim that he has confidential communications with multiple clients appears to be exaggerated.

For example, Cohen has told at least one witness that he has only client – President Trump.”

Second, Cohen isn’t really part of the law firm that he says he is.

He has just been keeping an office on their premises since March, 2017.

He keeps no timesheets there, and the firm does not bill anyone for his work.

Then, sadly, there are three redacted lines.

I say “sadly” because the conclusion is “further belying the notion that Cohen is currently engaged in any significant practice of law.

But then comes the really good part:

Fourth, the USAO-SDNY has specific reason to doubt that the seized materials willinclude the volume and nature of attorney-client communications that Cohen claims.

This is because the USAO-SDNY has already obtained search warrants – covert until this point – on multiple different email accounts maintained by Cohen, and has conducted a privilege review of the materials obtained pursuant to those warrants.

The results of that review, as reported by the USAO's Filter Team, indicate that

Cohen is in fact performing little to no legal work, and that zero emails were exchanged with President Trump

Without mentioning Mueller, Trump lawyers urge high court to bolster his power to fire executive officials

The Supreme Court is set to hear a seemingly minor case later this month on the status of administrative judges at the Securities and Exchange Commission, an issue that normally might only draw the interest of those accused of stock fraud.

But the dispute turns on the president's power to hire and fire officials throughout the government. And it comes just as the White House is saying President Trump believes he has the power to fire special counsel Robert S. Mueller III.

Trump's Solicitor Gen. Noel Francisco intervened in the SEC case to urge the high court to clarify the president's constitutional power to fire all "officers of the United States" who "exercise significant authority" under the law.

"The Constitution gives the president what the framers saw as the traditional means of ensuring accountability: the power to oversee executive officers through removal," he wrote in Lucia vs. SEC.

"The president is accordingly authorized under our constitutional system to remove all principal officers, as well as all 'inferior officers' he has appointed."

In addition to representing the administration before the Supreme Court,

Francisco, a former law clerk for the late Justice Antonin Scalia, could be in line to oversee the Mueller inquiry if Deputy Atty. Gen. Rod Rosenstein is fired.

Atty. Gen Jeff Sessions has recused himself from the investigation.

Peter Shane, a law professor at the Ohio State University, called

Francisco's argument a "radical proposition," and one that goes beyond what is at issue in the case.

The justices said they would focus only on how the SEC in-house judges are appointed. But Francisco is asking them to go further and rule on the "removal" issue.

"The solicitor general is obviously trying to goad the court into a broad statement about the removability of all officers of the United States,"

Shane said.

"Were the court to make any such statement, it would surely be cited by Trump as backing any move by him to fire Mueller directly."

Donald Trump's attorney seeks to go through seized evidence to pull 'privileged' materials (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/4/16/1757379/-Hail-Mary-Trump-s-attorney-seeks-to-go-through-seized-evidence-to-pull-privileged-materials)

Late Sunday night, Donald Trump’s new attorney, Joanna Hendon, asked U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood to grant a highly unusual request—

let Michael Cohen pour through it all to pull any evidence they consider to be off-limits due to attorney-client privilege. From the Washington Post: (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/trump-wants-to-review-material-seized-from-personal-lawyer-before-federal-investigators/2018/04/15/c927d9f4-4115-11e8-bba2-0976a82b05a2_story.html?utm_term=.e2ba7ec0615c)

She added that “the president respectfully requests” that the judge issue an order barring the taint team from conducting an initial review of the seized material and require the government to turn over a copy of that material to Cohen’s lawyers.

Then, the president wants the court to direct Cohen “to identify to the president all seized materials that relate to him in any way and to provide a copy of those materials to him and his counsel,” according to the letter.

Any disputes about what material was or wasn’t covered by the attorney-client privilege would then be decided by a judge, under the president’s proposal.


LOL!

They want the person under criminal investigation to have the ability to go through the evidence that was lawfully seized in a criminal investigation and keep it from prosecutors under a pinky swear it is covered by attorney-client privilege.

On Friday, prosecutors went hard, telling Judge Wood that Michael Cohen may not be a lawyer at all. From CNBC: (https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/13/prosecutors-slam-trump-lawyer-cohens-hearing-request-in-fbi-raids.html)

But the prosecutors say they have already conducted searches of Cohen's email accounts, "covert until this point,"

which they say "indicate that Cohen is in fact performing little to no legal work, and that

zero emails were exchanged with President Trump." [...]

"(1) Cohen did not have an email address associated with the firm;

(2) Cohen did not have access to the firm's shared drives or document systems—and vice versa;

(3) Cohen's documents were to be kept in a locked filing cabinet; and

(4) Cohen did not have access to any of the firm's client files."

Michael Cohen and the End Stage of the Trump Presidency

I am

unaware of anybody who has taken a serious look at Trump’s business who doesn’t believe that there is a high likelihood of rampant criminality.

In Azerbaijan, he did business with a likely money launderer (https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/03/13/donald-trumps-worst-deal) for Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.

In the Republic of Georgia, he partnered with a group that was being investigated (https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/08/21/trumps-business-of-corruption) for a possible role in the largest known bank-fraud and money-laundering case in history.

In Indonesia, his development partner is “knee-deep in (http://foreignpolicy.com/2016/12/22/trumps-indonesian-business-partner-is-knee-deep-in-dirty-politics/) dirty politics”;

there are criminal investigations (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2017-02-15/why-the-trump-organization-was-cited-in-a-brazil-corruption-probe) of his deals in Brazil;

the F.B.I. is reportedly looking (https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/03/ivanka-trump-organization-vancouver) into his daughter Ivanka’s role in the Trump hotel in Vancouver, for which she worked with a Malaysian family that has admitted to financial fraud.

Back home, Donald, Jr., and Ivanka were investigated for financial crimes associated with the Trump hotel in SoHo—an investigation that was halted suspiciously (https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/how-ivanka-trump-and-donald-trump-jr-avoided-a-criminal-indictment).

His Taj Mahal casino received what was then the largest fine in history (https://www.fincen.gov/news/news-releases/fincen-fines-trump-taj-mahal-casino-resort-10-million-significant-and-long) for money-laundering violations.

Listing all the financial misconduct can be overwhelming and tedious.

I have limited myself to some of the deals over the past decade,

thus ignoring Trump’s long history of links to New York Mafia figures and other financial irregularities.

It has become commonplace to say that enough was known about Trump’s shady business before he was elected;

his followers voted for him precisely because they liked that he was someone willing to do whatever it takes to succeed, and

they also believe that all rich businesspeople have to do shady things from time to time.

In this way of thinking, any new information about his corrupt past has no political salience.

Those who hate Trump already think he’s a crook;

those who love him don’t care.

I believe this assessment is wrong.

Sure, many people have a vague sense of Trump’s shadiness, but once the full details are better known and digested, a fundamentally different narrative about Trump will become commonplace.

The narrative that will become widely understood is that Donald Trump did not sit atop a global empire.

He was not an intuitive genius and tough guy who created billions of dollars of wealth through fearlessness.

He had a small, sad global operation,

mostly run by his two oldest children and

Michael Cohen, a lousy lawyer who barely keeps up the pretenses of lawyering (https://therealdeal.com/2018/04/13/us-attorneys-to-michael-cohen-youre-hardly-a-lawyer/) and

who now faces an avalanche of charges,

from taxicab-backed bank fraud (http://www.businessinsider.com/michael-cohen-taxi-businesses-fbi-raid-investigation-2018-4)

to money laundering and

campaign-finance violations (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/fbi-seizes-records-related-to-stormy-daniels-in-raid-of-trump-attorney-michael-cohens-office/2018/04/09/e3e43cf4-3c30-11e8-974f-aacd97698cef_story.html?utm_term=.66738673e3e0).

Cohen, Donald, Jr., and Ivanka monetized their willingness to sign contracts with people rejected by all sensible partners.

It was not a company that built value over decades, accumulating assets and leveraging wealth.

It burned through whatever good will and brand value it established as quickly as possible, then moved on to the next scheme.

There are important legal questions that remain.

How much did Donald Trump and his children know about the criminality of their partners?

How explicit were they in agreeing to put a shiny gold brand on top of corrupt deals?

Trump is raging and furious and terrified.

Prosecutors are now looking at his core.

Cohen was the key intermediary between the Trump family and its partners around the world;

he was chief consigliere and dealmaker throughout its period of expansion into global partnerships with sketchy oligarchs.

He wasn’t a slick politico who showed up for a few months.

He knows everything,

he recorded much of it, and

now prosecutors will know it, too.

It seems inevitable that much will be made public.

it seems likely that, when we look back on this week, we will see it as a turning point.

We are now in the end stages of the Trump Presidency.

[Chris]

I like this part:

"Here is what we now know, per intelligence gleaned form federal law enforcement sources with insider knowledge of what amounts to a plot by U.S. intelligence agencies to secure back door and illegal wiretaps of President Trump’s associates:

•Six U.S. agencies created a stealth task force, spearhead by CIA’s Brennan, to run domestic surveillance on Trump associates and possibly Trump himself.

•To feign ignorance and to seemingly operate within U.S. laws, the agencies freelanced the wiretapping of Trump associates to the British spy agency GCHQ.

•The decision to insert GCHQ as a back door to eavesdrop was sparked by the denial of two FISA Court warrant applications filed by the FBI to seek wiretaps of Trump associates.

•GCHQ did not work from London or the UK. In fact the spy agency worked from NSA’s headquarters in Fort Meade, MD with direct NSA supervision and guidance to conduct sweeping surveillance on Trump associates.

•The illegal wiretaps were initiated months before the controversial Trump dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele.

•The Justice Department and FBI helped set up the meeting at Trump Tower between Trump Jr., Manafort and Kushner with controversial Russian officials to make Trump’s associates appear compromised.

•Following the Trump Tower sit down, GCHQ began digitally wiretapping Manafort, Trump Jr., and Kushner.

•After the concocted meeting by the Deep State, the British spy agency could officially justify wiretapping Trump associates as an intelligence front for NSA because the Russian lawyer at the meeting Veselnitskaya was considered an international security risk and prior to the June sit down was not even allowed entry into the United States or the UK, federal sources said.

•By using GCHQ, the NSA and its intelligence partners had carved out a loophole to wiretap Trump without a warrant. While it is illegal for U.S. agencies to monitor phones and emails of U.S. citizens inside the United States absent a warrant, it is not illegal for British intelligence to do so. Even if the GCHQ was tapping Trump on U.S. soil at Fort Meade.

•The wiretaps, secured through illicit scheming, have been used by U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe of alleged Russian collusion in the 2016 election, even though the evidence is considered “poisoned fruit.”


Manafort was wiretapped. Cater Page was wiretapped. Trump Jr. was wiretapped. Kushner was wiretapped. Gen. Michael Flynn was wiretapped. And likely there were others.

And none of it was very legal."

It's at the beginning of the article. You can't read?

“This was clearly a scheme using Justice (Department) resources and State (Department) resources to get the Russian lawyer into the United States,” one Justice Department insider said. “Who has the power to do this? Only the people at the very top.”

Lynch. Comey. Andrew McCabe. Preet Bhahara. Sally Yates.

And according to high ranking FBI sources, the Bureau played a definitive role in plotting this sweeping privacy breach. But the FBI had much help from the NSA, CIA, the Office of of the Director of National Intelligence, Treasury financial crimes division under DHS, and the Justice Department, federal law enforcement sources confirmed.

a) Unless we've seen the prosecution's file, it's hard to know what evidence does and doesn't exist.

b) In the context of a case where the charge is making false statements to the FBI, nobody knows better than Flynn if he lied or not, so I'm having a pretty hard time thinking of what exculpatory evidence could even exist for a charge like that.

c) There's been zero movement on the case that would indicate a plea withdrawal or anything like that is even in the works. From my understanding, Flynn's team has had access to all of the evidence since the parties entered their stipulated motion back in February. If there was exculpatory information, Flynn's team would have seen it by now, and he would have stopped cooperating and taken steps to withdraw his plea by now.

So in conclusion, as Flynn's team has had access to everything for well over a month now (even Sarah Carter reported over 3 weeks ago that all the documents had been provided), and we've heard absolutely nothing about a change in their arrangement, it's a pretty safe bet that there is no noteworthy exculpatory evidence, or at least not enough to exonerate Flynn.

If the 302's were changed, as reported as what Sara Carter was told from sources, I wouldn't expect anything to be leaking out of the Flynn case as those 302's would be evidence in a criminal investigation.

they don't have to leak anything. Flynn could still be taking steps in withdrawing his guilty plea without leaking the evidence to the public. it's not like you would be required to remain guilty indefinitely :lol

the docket shows nothing https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/6234142/united-states-v-flynn/

they could keep the pleadings sealed if there was some concern, but they'd still be posted as something. all we have is a bunch of denials for third parties trying to file on Flynn's behalf, probably just political activists who think he's actually getting exonerating, but needs their help!

Who is Aaron Zebley? He worked for Mueller at WilmerHale and is currently on Mueller's special goon squad investigating Trump. Also served as Mueller's chief of staff while he was FBI director. Why does that matter? Zebley recently represented Justin Cooper. Who is Justin Cooper? Cooper testified he set up Hillary's private server. ("but her emails") He also used a hammer to destroy her mobile devices so the FBI couldn't acquire them during Comey's 'thorough' investigation into HRC. Are you connecting the dots yet?

Back when the referral was made I told you it was to put the FBI on notice since Grassley saw conflicting statements in Steele’s ongoing lawsuit and what the FBI said Steele did. The referral was to bring to light who lied, Steele or the FBI. You should have all of this in your ST notebook, did you lose it?

Back that bus up McCabe isn’t done with Comey

“I ordered that investigation”
:bobo

=====

Former FBI Director Andrew McCabe is locked in a battle of “he said-he said” with his former boss, James Comey, over the findings of a damning report from the Justice Department’s office of the inspector general (OIG).

McCabe’s lawyer, Michael Bromwich, issued a statement on Wednesday casting doubt on Comey and the OIG’s report, which was released April 13.

“The report fails to adequately address the evidence (including sworn testimony) and documents that prove that Mr. McCabe advised Director Comey repeatedly that he was working with The Wall Street Journal on the stories in question prior to publication,” Bromwich said in a statement CNN published.

“Neither Mr. Comey nor the OIG is infallible, and in this case, neither of them has it right.”

Earlier on Wednesday, Comey confirmed he ordered the opening of the inspector general’s investigation that uncovered McCabe’s involvement in a leak to The Wall Street Journal for an article published just before the 2016 election.

The office of the inspector general, led by Michael Horowitz, accused McCabe of a “lack of candor” during interviews with investigators about the leak. McCabe lied about authorizing the leak on at least four separate occasions — in interviews with OIG investigators, interviews with the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), and in conversations with Comey, investigators determined.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired McCabe on March 16 based on a recommendation from OPR.

McCabe has acknowledging authorizing his general counsel and an official in the FBI’s office of public affairs to speak with a Journal reporter for an article about the various investigations into Hillary Clinton. The bureau was investigating the Clinton Foundation, the FBI attorney revealed for the first time to The Journal.

As FBI No. 2, McCabe was authorized to reveal the existence of investigations if it served the public interest, but McCabe authorized the leak “in a manner designed to advance his personal interests at the expense of Department leadership,” the OIG determined.

Though McCabe authorized the leaks to The Journal, he admonished two FBI officials over the leaks, the report also reveals.

McCabe informed Comey he was authorizing a subordinate to speak with the Journal, the former FBI director told the OIG. McCabe has email exchanges supportorting that claim, Michael Bromwich, McCabe’s attorney, said.

Comey has told a different story.

McCabe “definitely did not tell me that he authorized” the leak, Comey told OIG investigators, according to the OIG report.

“I don’t remember exactly how, but I remember some form or fashion, and it could have been like ‘can you believe this crap? How does this stuff get out’ kind of thing?” Comey said in the interview, adding he “took from whatever communication we had that he wasn’t involved in it.”

Comey offered a scathing rebuke of McCabe on Thursday, during an appearance on ABC’s “The View.”

“It’s not okay. The McCabe case illustrates what an organization committed to the truth looks like,” Comey said and added, “I ordered that investigation.”

“Good people lie. I think I’m a good person, where I have lied,” he continued. “I still believe Andrew McCabe is a good person, but the inspector general found he lied.”

Comey’s damning statements about McCabe would seem to contradict support he offered his former subordinate in a tweet on Jan. 29, 2018.

“Special Agent Andrew McCabe stood tall over the last 8 months, when small people were trying to tear down an institution we all depend on. He served with distinction for two decades. I wish Andy well. I also wish continued strength for the rest of the FBI. America needs you,” Comey tweeted in response to comments that President Trump made about McCabe earlier that day.

New York Attorney General Pushes To Sidestep Any Trump Pardons

“Presidents have used this power sparingly, largely to do justice, rather than subvert it,” Eric Schneiderman writes.

New York’s attorney general has asked officials to change state law so President Donald Trump (https://www.huffingtonpost.com/topic/donald-trump)’s aides can be tried for any criminal acts committed in the state, even if they have been given a presidential pardon.

In a letter sent (https://ag.ny.gov/sites/default/files/letter_from_ag.pdf) to New York’s top lawmakers, including Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Attorney General Eric Schneiderman (D) said that he was troubled by Trump’s frequent discussion of his ability to issue pardons (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/28/us/politics/trump-pardon-michael-flynn-paul-manafort-john-dowd.html) and that

he was worried those who had committed crimes in the state would escape prosecution.

New York has a double jeopardy law that prevents individuals from being charged with the same crime twice, even if the charges originated at the federal level.

“New York’s statutory protections could result in the unintended and unjust consequence of insulating someone pardoned for serious federal crimes from subsequent prosecution for state crimes,” Schneiderman wrote in the letter, dated April 18.

“Even if that person was never tried or convicted in federal court, and never served a single day in federal prison.”
