The judge is obviously part of the deep state and paid off by George Soros. Anyway, something something Hillary Clinton something!

Ooh a well poisoning AND an ad hom all in one! Cool double.
What Trump ....erm Cohen paid Daniels for was to keep her quiet not for sex.

I can't link with the tablet I am using, but people should check out the story on this in the Washington Post.
That is how it looks to me, It is Cohen that is the direct target here.
But it is not good news for Trump.

I believe it breaks down where there's compelling indications of possible crime.
.
Why don't these investigations just hold off, until after Trump's presidency?!! Grief! Tackle the country's major problems together, unitedly (bipartisan**), then resume the investigations!
Doesn't anybody else agree??
The Nation's got business to do, and at the helm is a man hounded left and right by legal issues and worries!
I wouldn't want him doing my taxes, with the pressures he's facing!
No wonder hardly anything progressive ever gets accomplished in this country! (But that's really the System...4 or 8 years leaning one way, then 4 or 8 years attacking what was accomplished, tearing it down and going the other way. Just sideways action, hardly any forward momentum.)
**And this is another 'problem': whatever would get accomplished during Trump's Administration, he --or the Republicans-- would get the credit for...and the enemies just can't have that! Oh, brother!
What well did I poison, what argument did I attempt to discredit? Also, poisoning the well is always an ad hominem.
This has become diversionary. Being in the profession of getting paid for sexual acts isn't mutually exclusive with having sex without being paid.
It is implied that I speak from my perspective.
If Trump is in someway compromised you need to know that. Same thing goes for Kushner or anyone else working in the White House
When the lawyers lawyer gets mad about them using warrants its quite amusing. How dare they use search warrants!

I am home and here is a link to the article:
Trump attorney Cohen is being investigated for possible bank fraud, campaign finance violations
Please note Mueller could not do this on his own. This sort of raid requires an authorization by someone higher up:
"To serve a search warrant on a practicing attorney, federal prosecutors are required to obtain approval from top Justice Department officials. That means the acting U.S. attorney in Manhattan, Geoffrey S. Berman, who was appointed to his role by Sessions in January, as well as Justice Department officials in Washington, probably signed off."

And not all perspectives are of equal worth. One that I particularly appreciate is ...
The Cohen raids required high-level authorization within the Justice Department. Under regulations governing the special counsel’s work, Mueller is required to consult with Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein if his team finds information worth investigating that does not fall under his mandate to examine Russia’s interference in the 2016 election.
Rosenstein, as the acting attorney general supervising Mueller’s work, has the responsibility of deciding whether to expand Mueller’s mandate to include the new topic or to refer it to a U.S. attorney’s office.
Since Cohen is a practicing attorney whose communications with clients are considered privileged, federal prosecutors would have been required to first consider a less intrusive investigative tactic than a search warrant before executing the raids.
“A search warrant for a law office is extremely rare,” said Stephen Gillers, a professor at the New York University School of Law. “Lawyers are given the courtesy of producing documents in response to a subpoena or a request unless the government believes a lawyer will destroy or conceal the objects of the search.”

Because sleazy, low-life criminal scum isn't fit to hold office, obviously.
Trump isn't even fit to operate a fry vat at a fast food place.
People running and nominated for POTUS undergo the most intense scrutiny of anyone else in the world! Werent there any credible 'conflicts of interest' discovered beforehand? Surely, his assets in Russia should have raised flags! (If anyone owns substantial property in any foreign country and refuse to liquidate it, they should be disqualified from running; the property could be seized by that country, trying to force the president to favor them.)
For now, deal with the USA's problems at hand, not his.
There are procedures in place to handle outright treason immediately, not by using the taxpayer's money to dig up what could be possible wrongdoing!
Time for that, after his one-term presidency.
Watergate.
