NBC News is reporting that Trump fixer and thug Michael Cohen's phones were wiretapped in the weeks leading up to the raid by FBI agents and Federal prosecutors on Cohen's home, office and hotel in early April. Sources in the report indicate that at least one of the phone calls was between a Cohen phone and the White (Supremacist) House.
"Two sources close to Trump's newest attorney, Rudolph Giuliani, say he learned that days after the raid the president had made a call to Cohen, and told Trump never to call again out of concern the call was being recorded by prosecutors."Former U.S. Attorney Chuck Rosenberg noted that a Federal judge has to approve a wiretap after a detailed justification and evidence that an ongoing crime is occurring.
Hopefully, the Feds have Rump corruptly discussing a pardon for Cohen in return for his "loyalty." If the wiretaps go back far enough, perhaps there are discussions of the hush money and business dealings with Russia that could involve money laundering and bank fraud.
It gets better every day.
UPDATE: NBC News is correcting its original reporting to say the the phone calls were not listened to or recorded by Federal authorities, but that they were registering the phone numbers only.
