Mueller Sought Records Related To The Infamous ‘Access Hollywood’ Tape During Cohen Raid

This is SO totally asinine. This is how far this entire investigation has fallen.

According to a new report from the New York Times, Mueller’s minions sought records related to the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape during the raid on Michael Cohen’s offices. Mmm-Hmmm… Yes– that stupid “locker room talk” tape.

The F.B.I. agents who raided the office and hotel of President Trump’s lawyer on Monday were seeking all records related to the “Access Hollywood” tape in which Mr. Trump was heard making vulgar comments about women, according to three people who have been briefed on the contents of a federal search warrant.

The search warrant also sought evidence of whether the lawyer, Michael D. Cohen, tried to suppress damaging information about Mr. Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign.

It is not clear what role, if any, Mr. Cohen played regarding the tape, which was made public a month before the election. But the fact that the agents were seeking documents related to the tape reveals a new front in the investigation into Mr. Cohen that is being led by the United States attorney’s office in Manhattan.

The new details from the warrant reveal that prosecutors are keenly interested in Mr. Cohen’s unofficial role in the Trump campaign. And they help explain why Mr. Trump was furious about the raid. People close to Mr. Trump and Mr. Cohen regard the warrant as an attempt by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, to pry into Mr. Trump’s personal life — using other prosecutors as his proxy.

Please tell me what this has to do with Russia. PLEASE.

Not a thing. It has everything to do with getting Donald Trump.

What the heck does the “Access Hollywood” tape have to do with Russia collusion? This investigation is a fishing expedition! https://t.co/NPqwGruzzQ
