Showing Original Post only (View all)Rachel tonight. Fascinating. [View all]
The convoluted machinations that led to the Cohen subpoena of months ago.
Cohen was served with a new subpoena today...as a witness in New York's investigation or action against Trump's charitable organization. The NY AG, Barbara Underwood, filed a CIVIL lawsuit against the charity that was long, detailed, and actually included evidence (like images of notes) embedded in the petition, months ago.
She then sent that petition to the IRS, New York's tax dept., and another NY dept. I think it was NY tax dept that then subpoenaed Cohen today as a witness.
Fascinating programs. Rachel is excellent at connecting the dots and run down the timelines & give background.
You can't make this stuff up.

They will likely better off. I'm quite sure Ivanka and Jared wouldn't be in their current situations

No shit, when it comes to felonies. Asking for asylum is legal; crossing without papers is minor...

This. I can't imagine involving one's children in crimes of any sort. But Trump himself was.

AND Cohen immediately contacted the tax dept and very willingly talked to them. The normal procedure

Don't forget that there are 2 justice systems in this country: 1 for the rich and 1 for the poor.

True. But for crimes like these, there will only be rich or connected people.
