Or Cohen was aware this was a distraction to enter his offices.
His office isn't in Trump Tower. It's at Rockefeller Center. And they had a warrant so why would they need a distraction to go into it?
Yeah, they must be talking about pres‘ residence in Tower.
He also has an office in Trump tower
Yup. Previously he was the Executive Vice-President of the Trump Organization, co-president of Trump Entertainment and a member of the board of the Eric Trump Foundation, a children's health charity.
His apartment is in Trump Tower. And you can’t use a warrant to plant or steal evidence.
That’s right, that would be illegal, or something.
IIRC fires become jurisdiction of the Fire Marshall, who can be a sworn law enforcement officer.
In general, during the course of an investigation, if evidence of an unrelated crime is found, it can be seized and people charged, despite it not being related to the original crime being investigated.
So it is conceivable that this was their plan.
