wildly every time Donald feeds us sex scandals again?

I'm missing something. Why are we so excited that Cohen search included Access Hollywood?

For everyone saying "Podesta emails!!!" here's a post that lays out that week's timeline. https://www.emptywheel.net/2017/04/06/the-october-non-surprise/ …

The IMPORTANT point about the timeline is that both Podesta AND Access Hollywood drowned out the Russian hack attribution. You know? The blame Russia bit that voters barely heard about?

I love this theory: "Trump had Assange drop Podesta emails at same time as Access Hollywood so NO ONE WOULD SEE the actually damning part of Podesta release, the Hillary speech excerpts."

Because Cohen has a history of using mob tactics to silence people Trump wants rid of. This includes pay-offs (using shells to launder money) and threats (using thugs to threaten lives). Of course for me, this is the least of the issues with Cohen as you well know.
-
Sure. But then there's nothing different abt the Access Hollywood stuff than the Stormy stuff.
-
Right. But then again I think the stormy stuff is a fig leaf for the larger money laundering stuff. It's the gateway laundering if you will:)
-
Likely. I'm mostly looking for reasons why people think AH is different from Stormy, beyond that Mueller has Trump comms on that.
-
Because that is what Mueller wants them to think? Or they are reading their own biases into it. Either way, this looks like it is going where it should always have been going and long b4 the election

Because, as
@renato_mariotti notes, the coverup of the tape? Was likely a crime - another one that can't be waved away by Trump. I don't care about the content of tape, only that it's another crime Trump can't wave away.https://twitter.com/renato_mariotti/status/984179276009402370 … -
Um. But so are the other known things.
-
What if it's to prove or find docs thsy reference coordination with wikileaks launching right after its release?
-
Here's the argument you're making.https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/984180113913929736 …
-
Sure, but wasn't it the constant flow of leaks and drips and articles over nothing the month after that helped eat away + helped aide the last minute Comey reopening/she's crooked death knell?
-
Like not at all saying you're wrong, but it seems like people wouldn't miss that story because it was kept alive for a month with endless reporting and additional drops?

Wikileaks leaked the Podesta emails an hour after the Access Hollywood tape was leaked, which points to Trump campaign coordination with Wikileaks.

It's also....kinda a weird thing to lead to a lawyer search.
-
The degree to which a search of Michael Cohen amounts to a lawyer search is really overblown.

Remember Wikileaks began releasing hacked DNC emails the same day as the tape dropped
-
Yes and remember the more important fact that the IC report attributing the hack was the same day.
