The FBI Raid of Cohen's shit tells me that this is very real. The FBI would not violate attorney/client confidentiality without some massive crime. The fact that they were willing to do this for something, which might incriminate his attorney, tells me that they just want access to the things they could not have gotten access to, otherwise. This is absolute panic mode! The people, who did this are going to be found to be lacking in cause. They have nothing to lose, since they are staring prison in the face, either way.

I think this is the last straw for the FBI. After this, the hammer drops. The CIA is still hoping for WW3 to result from their gas attacks and whatnot.
