By implicating Michael Cohen in campaign finance violations. OilemFirchen Nov 2018 #89
Bullshit jberryhill Nov 2018 #102
Plus, the FBI had been looking at Cohen since late in 2016 The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2018 #113

I suppose we need to define "consistent". OilemFirchen Nov 2018 #208
He got it in the court of public opinion and it led to the raid on Michael Cohen ain't that enough UniteFightBack Nov 2018 #92
Bullshit jberryhill Nov 2018 #109
It didn't lead to the raid on Cohen. Cohen had been under investigation by the feds The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2018 #124
This is my sentiment, too DeminPennswoods Nov 2018 #56
That's just bullshit right there jberryhill Nov 2018 #68
