NEW: The @NYTimes wants "search warrants, search warrant applications, supporting affidavits, court orders and returns on executed search warrants" related the FBI raid on Michael Cohen's properties.

The document: documentcloud.org/documents/5001…
The last time there was legal wrangling in this courthouse to release a search warrant succeeded in unsealing the basis for renewing the Clinton probe. politico.com/story/2016/12/…
Legal fight up ahead: Here's the government's response to the NYT's application.

Judge Pauley sets a deadline for its opposition by Oct. 26, slightly less time than they wanted.

The govt can file part of it under seal/ex parte to protect an "ongoing grand jury investigation."
My story on this on @CourthouseNews
NEW: The AP, CNN, Daily News, Dow Jones, Newsday, and New York Post join the Times effort to crack open the Michael Cohen search warrants and supporting materials.

Prosecutors claim that indicted attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya fabricated supposed findings from a mutual legal assistance treaty. @PeteBrush dug up that Russian MLAT, and it's signed by "S.A. Karapetyan."

A top Russian prosecutor with that name died in a copter crash last year.
Just as prosecutors allege, the Russian MLAT clears itself and vilifies an "Investment Company" throughout, in particular, Bill Browder's Hermitage Capital.

Here's a story on the death of Karapetyan, whose name matches the one on the doc's signature. rferl.org/amp/russian-pr…
It should be noted that figures connected to the Prevezon case, believed to be tied to Russian organized crime, have a habit of encountering misfortune.

After Magnitsky's death in a Moscow prison, his family's attorney survived a four-story fall from his Moscow apartment.

🚨 MAJOR: Natalia Veselnitskaya, the Russian attorney in the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting, charged with obstruction of justice in the Prevezon case.

Manhattan U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman said she fabricated evidence.
Remember when Donald Trump, Jr. claimed that he "mostly talked about adoptions" with Veselnitskaya at the Trump Tower meeting?

That's Russia's response to sanctions over the death of Sergei Magnitsky, a key figure in the Prevezon case.

The sealed indictment was docketed on Dec. 20, 2018.

Take the quote: “Impeach the motherfucker.”

It seems to me that a serious journalist should contextualize the operative verb “impeach.” The noun “motherfucker” typically requires little additional context.
For instance, how many people know that the day Rep. Tlaib made that remark, she co-wrote an op-ed with a constitutional attorney laying out the grounds they would cite?

Or that, a day earlier, her colleague Rep. Sherman announced plans to introduce articles of impeachment?
I spoke to Tlaib’s co-author in the below op-ed, attorney John Bonifaz, on Friday, to discuss the push for impeachment, touching upon the grounds, timing, momentum and more.

Look out for a story next week on the substance beyond the swear word. freep.com/story/opinion/…

A federal judge has put Stormy Daniels' lawsuit against President Trump and his personal attorney Michael Cohen on hold for 90 days after Cohen said he would invoke his Fifth Am. rights.
"While the exact scope and breadth of the criminal investigation remains unclear, both the gov't and Mr. Cohen indicated that the subject matter of the criminal investigation and the documents seized, in some part reference the $130,000 payment made to Ms. Clifford."
The judge presiding over Stormy Daniels' lawsuit says the FBI raid on Michael Cohen "is no simple criminal investigation; it is an investigation into the personal attorney of a sitting President," and that an indictment is "likely."

The WH is prepping talking points to undermine Rosenstein, not for doing anything wrong, but likely because of the FBI Raid involving Michael Cohen, Trump’s former personal lawyer.
The treasure trove of evidence is probably going to expose a lot of Cohen/Trump skeletons, if today’s announcement that Cohen made recordings of associates, is any indication.
Trump has been seething since the FBI Raid of 3 different locations belonging to Cohen, & has decided it’s time to fire Mueller or Rosenstein. Although he’s still pissed off at Sessions.

1) This is my #Qanon thread for posts beginning April 4th.

Q posts can be found here: qanon.pub

My theme for this series: April Showers
2) #Qanon posted this.
3) #Qanon suggested that a leaker made it publicly known that POTUS was not under criminal investigation. That's new to me. It seemed like he wanted that information made public, but perhaps he discussed it only AFTER it was leaked.
