      What 2 people with knowledge of the legal proceedings against Cohen have an incentive to burn a wiretap? 🤔 https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/feds-tapped-trump-lawyer-michael-cohen-s-phones-n871011 …pic.twitter.com/v108TbXvj8

      Ah well. I just can't think WHO would want to burn this wiretap. Cue Giuliani outrage tour "in response" to this news in 3 ... 2... 1...

      NEW: Giuliani tells me he can't confirm there were wiretaps, hasn't been informed. But when read NBC report, he was furious. "If they picked up the president, they would have had to notify him." Said if true, wld be a "mockery" of attorney-client privilege and "gov't misconduct"

      Dear Donald Trump: You did the "tapp" story line already in season one. This viewer demands that you not repeat your storylines like this. GIVE US NEW OUTRAGE!!!

      Extra points for leaking it to NBC bc MSNBC will create an entire cable show to hype a wiretap against someone the Feds already said had had his content collected. Well played, "tapp" producers. Well played.

      Next up, Giuliani, who has promised his client he can end this investigation right away, will be calling for Rosenstein's head. Remember: Sessions is not actually recused from the Cohen investigation.

      Yes. What I said. Not recused. So he, not Rosenstein, would be responsible for this "wiretapp," (if it actually exists). But Rudy won't focus on that. Because facts.

          Might or might not be escalated to AG level tho. DAAG required. Above that, who knows?

          per @jeffhauser because USAtty Berman was an interim appointment, Sessions would in fact have some access to proceedings at SDNY. Last week NY Fed Court made Berman permanent US Atty but is he still interim since not confirmed by Congress?

          he's there indefinitely until removed by Trump/Sessions/new Ag or someone new is nominated and confirmed. Khuzami (who threw Berman a ton of Deutsche Bank business back in the day) is Berman's handpicked righthand man & oversees the Cohen case. (1/2)

          Replying to @jeffhauser @PooleLoe and

          It is my strong belief that SDNY/Cohen investigation goes back to Joon Kim's stint at SDNY -- the investigation was "months long" pre-raids, & everything about this strikes me as time consuming. Khuzami had limited freedom of movement, especially before SDNY re-upped Berman. 2/2

          Would we necessarily know if Sessions is recused? We didn't know Berman was recused at first.

          Never mind I see I missed a big news item about Sessions not recusing himself from Cohen (although he may still recuse himself from certain parts of the case)https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-04-24/sessions-declines-to-recuse-himself-from-probe-into-trump-lawyer …
