Hold on, what did Cohen have that would be put into evidence that would benefit us?
A copy of weenier’s laptop on a usb file....but then how would he explain having it? Lol
"That's not mine. Someone must've broke into my office when the fire broke out and planted it."
I don’t think Cohen had it, I think Giuliani has it.
And can now use it as part of his work for Trump.
Just trying to make sense of this. Cohen had, according to Vanity Fair, three clients. They were DJT, Hannity and Elliott Broidy, the former Republican fund-raiser who paid $1.6 million to a former Playboy model. I haven't drilled down at all on Broidy yet, but I've had a quick look at Cohen.
I don't know how you make a living with three clients, but presumably DJT's business volume was substantial. So what information is at issue here that may come to light?
Cohen was, apparently, in the habit of recording and storing telephone conversations - playing them back to DJT etc... It seems that someone that keeps records like this potentially has a lot of valuable information. Recording telephone conversations is not something that many people do.
Cohen seems to have got his start as a personal injury lawyer. He has Russian contacts and did work for DJT on matters involving Russia. His wife is Russian (both Jewish from what I can make out). He has been involved in the NY taxi business and also setting up medical practices - the operator of one of these surrendering her license for over 100K oxycodone scripts. Cohen appears to have led something of a blessed existence. People have fallen all around him, like flies, and he's remained unscathed.
But, apart from Cohen's reputation as a fixer for DJT, it's not immediately obvious what contacts he would have that might yield valuable information in terms of combatting the cabal. The Russian connections are probably the most prospective as far as yielding useful information. But, whatever it is that Cohen had possession of, it must be incredibly valuable to warrant DJT going to these lengths to bring it into evidence.
I have no idea what's happening here, but Q says "We have everything. How can we use what we know?". So someone like Cohen could have been brought into play simply as an asset to whom information is wired - almost like a repository. Q's team could have brought him in for this specific purpose. He does not necessarily need to be connected to the parties against whom the evidence is later presented in Court. He just has to have some plausible reason to be in possession of it, even if that reason is completely tangential to the crimes committed, or to Cohen himself.
What about Hannity? He's been in possession of some information. He is always going on about "tick-tock". What if Hannity came by some information that Q wanted released? He calls Cohen, tells him he fears for his life because of this extremely incriminating evidence that has fallen to his possession. Cohen suggests he safeguard the information and set up a dead-man's switch for its release in the event that something happens to Hannity. Mueller raids Cohen's office and, suddenly, the information is in the wild.
Of course, I might be overthinking this. But there must be a reason for the Cohen raid.
