    Ruh roh! If I was anyone who had been in phone contact with Cohen in that period and said anything confirming or even hinting at any inappropriate/illegal/unethical actions I would be shitting...

    It is not clear how long the wiretap has been authorized, but NBC News has learned it was in place in the weeks leading up to the raids on Cohen's offices, hotel room, and home in early April, according to one person with direct knowledge.

    Ruh roh! If I was anyone who had been in phone contact with Cohen in that period and said anything confirming or even hinting at any inappropriate/illegal/unethical actions I would be shitting bricks right about now.

      With how often Trump's people (and the man himself) seem to add more to the public record about this whole thing, it's rather amazing Mueller has the restraint to keep going about his merry fucking business like this.

      Still, I've been consistently impressed with not only the pace, but the professionalism of this special investigation.

    The wiretap is from before the search warrant. There was a phone call between Trump and Cohen shortly before the raids were carried out. I imagine whatever was discussed in that phone call was used in the warrant application and suspect it had to do with Cohen destroying evidence.
