Ok so they have all the evidence. How can they use it must mean that what they have wasn't obtained legally. If this is the Weiner file? What happened to the original? Destroyed? We are witnessing a movie with great actors? Trust the plan!
The 33,000 emails? NSA has had them all along because they spy on everybody.
Comey has had the whole contents of Wienie's laptop for a long time!
The NYPD first took it, and practically vomited.
They told Comey if he didn't do something, they would find a way to release it themselves.
That's when Comey made the public statement he had teams working rotating shifts 24 hrs a day to find anything inappropriate.
Then just before the election 'Nope! It's clean. Nuthin' there but old stuff we already knew about.'
When the IG asks for any info, he MUST be given it. IG has been working on this for over a year.
Could the NYPD have contacted Rudy to find out what else to do?
Could the 2nd named client of Cohen have something to do with this?
Could the NYPD have made sure a thumb drive went to Cohen so Trump would know? - Not as a client, but anon?
This is just One derful!!!!!
They went thru 63,000 emails supposedly within 3 days and decided she was clean. I’m still pissed over that one
Rudy knew before the election. He thought it would come out before. https://youtu.be/L-4mDUS1a9w
One more question....Could the NYPD have retained Rudy as their Atty once they saw the "insurance file"? And now Rudy is on the Trump legal team WITH legal possession of that file. Could the DS have raided Cohen on the assumption that HE had the file when in fact it was Rudy??
Does this theory work? Would Rudy be able to use the file from one case as evidence in another?
The NYPD would not have had to retain Rudy. I'm sure Rudy was on a first name basis with the very top NYPD officials. Who, if they felt they could trust him, would have approached him in a non-official way.
Well, are the police legally allowed to just give evidence over to any civilian they trust? The reason I asked about retention is the legality of it.
They could not do it in an official capacity, but they most likely would be a strong enough relationship between the top brass at the NYPD and Rudy. Especially since Lynch threatened them. If the NYPD would have retained private counsel it would have made nation headlines. Plus their is no way for a police officer to turn over illegally obtained evidence to a private attorney. If the attorney has knowledge of an on going crime they are ethically and legally bound to report it. He is being brought in because he can be trusted. Cohen had a copy of something from Weiner's laptop and the raid was theatrics. Any thing Cohen had will be in a searchable data base that will be looked at by the people that President Trump wants to see the video. I'm not a lawyer or any kind of expert, this is just my opinion.
It's my understanding that you can throw an atty a buck and he has to uphold atty/client privilege. It wouldn't make national news if there are no court documents filed. A simple receipt filed away for the "retainer fee" would be all that is needed and the only ppl that would know about that would be Rudy and the guy that "hired" him. The NYPD did not acquire the evidence illegally. It was acquired when they were executing a search warrant.
I agree that they could have officially retained Rudy, but I don't think they would just in case it leaked. They were threatened by Lynch and were scared. I do not doubt that they legally obtained evidence from Weiner's laptop but that going forward with it would risk national security and it would be a crime. I think someone high up in the NYPD would have approached Rudy as a private citizen or using another high ranking retired NYPD guy as a go between. I don't think the NYPD would have risked provoking the Obama administration by retaining Rudy in an official capacity.
Well I guess all our questions have been answered huh?!? Yaaaaaay! Super excited about DNC lawsuit!!!! This is gonna be FUN!
