big difference in process and procedures between launching an investigation into outside interference in our election vs having probable cause to obtain a search warrant for evidence of criminal conduct...Cohen's own public statements and behavior exhibited probable cause that he may've committed some crimes, enough to convince a Trump appointed US Attorney to do a preliminary investigation for sufficient probable cause to request the search warrants. Who knows whether the evidence gathered after the execution of the search warrants will be enough to justify filing criminal charges? It may not...and Cohen/Trump would be vindicated...
The special counsel is investigating whether there is evidence of criminal assistance by US citizens, particularly citizens affiliated with Trump's campaign, of the foreign interference of the election. Just because Trump keeps saying that there's no evidence, and that it's a witch hunt, doesn't make it true...
as a result of the decision to commence the investigation, the possibility of criminal obstruction of the investigation arose, and any effort to impede it also becomes a possible crime...
Trump seems to be getting more combative as the investigation nears a conclusion...possibly because he knows the size of the hammer about to drop? Who knows with Trump...
if he was right about not having any evidence that he/his campaign did anything wrong, then he should let the investigation conclude... and do a victory dance in the end zone, in the faces of all the tripping and excitement of some people...
