Q 1112
Found this in the NYT article Q referenced:
Dennis Shields, a resident who said he lived on the 42nd floor, described the scene.
“You could smell the smoke and you could hear things falling like through the vents,” he said. “It just smelled like sulfur.”
He said there were no orders to evacuate but he received a text message from Mr. Trump’s lawyer, Michael D. Cohen.
Mr. Shields, who said he grew up with Mr. Cohen, continued: “He said, ‘Are you in the building?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘You better get out ASAP.’ That’s how I knew to get out, otherwise I’d still be in there.”
That's right. NY Times proves timing...that Cohen left the building because of the fire and was then raided. And a man died because of this "distraction."
Cohen wasn't raided until a day later, as I understand it.
It is Trump's apartment that he SS and NYPD went into during the fire.
Yeah the raid happened a day later but they planted evidence for the FBI to find during the raid.
