I hate to be the one to break it to you Doc, but if anything that was siezed from Cohen yesterday shows that Trump knew about the payment to Stormy, he will be on the hook as a co-conspirator for anything Cohen gets charged with.
And unlike Hillary using the wrong laptop to send emails this would be a legitimate crime. How on earth do you think the “ lock her up crowd”will respond?
We know how they will respond. They will call a judge approved raid a "break in" and the entire investigation a Democrat witch hunt even though it was led by a Republican Trump doner.
Mark would have howled if the Justice Dept had raided hillary's lawyers looking for her thousands of emails while she was sec of state. Instead they let her lawyers decide which ones were important

Her lawyer didn't get raided because the FBI had no evidence her lawyer committed a crime. You do see the distinction don't you?
He was holding the evidence that hillary misused her govt computer.
That's not a crime. In Trump's case, the FBI had evidence that his attorney committed a crime. (Bank fraud, wire fraud, and illegal campaign contributions.) The FBI is trying to answer a couple of questions about those crimes.
1. Was this a one-time thing or a pattern of behavior? Basically, were there more women that got hush money before the election. If it is a pattern of behavior, you get into racketeering.
2. Did Trump have knowledge of this criminal enterprise?
Misusing govt emails is a crime.
Allen Dershowitz thinks both cases are similiar & I trust his opinion over yours

Her attorney didn't misuse government emails. That is the distinction. But hey if you want to believe in your own little world the grass is blue and the sky is green more power to you.
Berman recused himself from the investigation and was not involved in the decision to raid Cohen's office because of the recusal.
This is all on Mueller. This move destroys attorney/client privilege. It is apparent that his mission is to overturn a US Presidential election, at any cost.
Hillary's private email acount was in no shape or form illegal and never at any time was subject to a criminal investigation. A crime is not defined by a bunch of drooling inbreeders screaming "lock her up".
But using hidden funds to pay off prostitutes during a campaign. That is a crime. And its a pretty significant one. And the "lock her up" crowd is actually buying the idea that Cohen paid those chicks off with his own cash. ....And its pretty friggin hilarious.
