      So we know that 1) Cohen hid all this work in an LLC no one ever heard of 2) Cohen apparently never did any actual work for the money 3) Cohen funneled the money through his presidential extra-marital hush money fund 4) Mueller knew about all this six months ago

      5) Mueller has Cohen's bank records and got access to his emails several months ago 6) A few months after Mueller started asking about these payments to Cohen, the feds got a warrant to raid Cohen.

      The fact that SDNY did the raid and not Mueller is, IMO, a very important distinction.

          Do you think perhaps Mueller referred to SDNY to spread it around in case he was fired and not because it was out of his purview?

          Absolutely possible. Thing is we don't know. And until we do, we should make sure to maintain the distinction bc they may present different legal issues.

          Does this mean it doesn’t involve Trump in your opinion?

          It means it doesn't involve RU. Stormy obviously involves Trump, but it, perhaps even more so, is solidly in SDNY.

          Because, until we're certain Mueller/Rosenberg referred it as a tactic, then we need to account for the fact that this conduct was viewed as separate from the things known 6 months ago.

          On the same topic, it seems like everyone is dancing around what seems rather obvious: is Trump’s bag man really doing this on his own and also not letting the boss wet his beak?

          No suspicion that Mueller was just trying to deflect and confuse the issue because he knew 45 would freak and Mueller didn’t want to get fired?

          I initially agreed that it was a huge distinction but I can’t come up with a coherent reason he’d refer after learning from emails about the Russian connection and don’t believe he’d miss that completely

          Can you elaborate why? To prevent trump from canning Mueller for investigating Cohen?

          That seems to be ignored repeatedly but must be stated correctly.
