      Nifty detail: Mueller's team did not do this. SDNY did. Presumably meaning unconfirmed Trump interim US Attorney Geoffrey Berman approved it.

          Another nifty detail: Evangelical voters were already planning on raising Trump's sex worker hush payment problem with him at a June meeting where they will discuss midterm election turnout.https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2018/04/06/evangelicals-are-planning-a-high-profile-meeting-with-trump/ …

          Also, as Michael Cohen squeals bc FBI raided his office for evidence of illegal hush money payment, remember that DOJ has taken a maximalist approach to sex worker free speech, most recently by shutting down Backpage.

          If and when SDNY charges Cohen for hiring a thug to threaten Trump's former sex partner, he can ask for leniency by flipping on Trump on RU investigation.

          In the little we know it seems like this was referred by Mueller to SDNY. Wonder if this is in an effort to clearly delineate his purview (eg if it’s about Daniels, taxes, etc vs larger Russia interference/trump campaign collusion)

          ok we need a lawyer to answer this question. If the FBI raids the President's lawyer's office, is that a bad thing?

          Can SDNY hand over material to Mueller? The article says stormy stuff wasn’t all they were looking for.

          they did it on a referral from Mueller, based evidently on something he turned up in his investigations.
