JH and the DC Swampthings/Power Elite are all trivia players. I though this tidbit was funny from The Hill's staff competition:

Last night, The Hill hosted a trivia night for staffers. The winners: Erika Burnett, Niv Elis, Adam Hainsfurther, Naomi Jagoda, Rebecca Kheel, Ellen Mitchell and Jenn Sharkey. Congrats! ​ And I thought you’d enjoy this: The best team name was "How I Met Your Mueller."

Cohen was under wiretap

At least one phone call between a phone line associated with Cohen and the White House was intercepted, the person said.

Michael Avenatti: Wiretaps must have picked up indication that Michael Cohen was going to destroy evidence, hence the raids on his home and offices.

This is what it's going to take, wire taps and videos. Only the very worst Trump supporters will be able to deny it. I suspect there's a lot more stuff like this. Manafort was under FISA warrant and it's possible Flynn was. They won't be the only ones. This was so blatantly obvious that Mueller could have probably gotten a warrant just from the information available in the newspapers. They did half this stuff in plain site. And when they tried to cover things up, they stumbled around like idiots.

“Us lawyers have talked about it, we don’t believe it’s true,” Giuliani told The Daily Beast. “We think it’s going to turn out to be untrue because it would be totally illegal. You can’t wiretap a lawyer, you certainly can’t wiretap his client who’s not involved in the investigation. No one has suggested that Trump was involved in that investigation. So they’re going to wiretap the lawyer, his client, and his client the president of the United States? I don’t think so, not if they want to stay out of jail. Disclosing a wiretap is a federal felony. I never took ‘em home when I was a U.S. attorney.”

So, Deep State conspiracy theory is front burner as a legitimate strategy.

Sit down Phred, I have something to say to you - Giuliani may be lying.

FFS NBC updated story the Feds are only monitoring the line not actively listening to Cohen’s calls. I mean the fact that they are monitoring is huge but not the HOKY SHIT level. Excited for the fake news tweet storm.
