Thanks Stormy Daniels for "taking one for the team".

It seems that the raid on Cohen's office, etc., are related to the Stormy case.
The payment --was it in violation of campaign finance laws?
The allegations of being threatened, the advice from Spanky to talk to his lawyer.
If this is key in bringing Spanky down, it would be such weird karma, and so richly deserved.
I am hoping that anything found in Cohen's papers will be admissible evidence.
It may be a gold mine......

1. Maybe not

I don't think Robert Mueller's investigators give a rat's ass about Trump's dalliance and botched NDA/payment to Stormy Daniels.

This search and seizure must be about much more important things. I'm guessing that it has to do with foreign money laundering that Cohen facilitated.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter. What matters is that Mr. Mueller impelling away Trump's allies one by one. Trump is too stupid to realize the long-game Mr. Mueller is playing. Very soon, Trump will be standing alone, exposed.

It could be one of the best days in U.S. history.

3. Yup

Cohen has had his fingers in a lot of pies.

2. Looks like the bank fraud was borrowing the money for the house

and using it to pay off Stormy. Then there's the wire fraud.
