What a load of bunk.
Presume this would fall under emoluments clause if Panamanian president circumvented their legal system to provide favours for Trump’s buesiness.
Does Cohen strike anyone as a “detail oriented and don’t try to push the envelope” kinda guy? Because if he isn’t then the FBI looking into his finances is very likely to be bad news.

Michael Cohen, the longtime attorney of President Trump, is under federal investigation for possible bank fraud, wire fraud and campaign finance violations, according to a person with knowledge of the case.
FBI agents on Monday raided Cohen’s Manhattan office, home and hotel room as part of the investigation, seizing records about Cohen’s clients and personal finances. Among the records seized were those related to a 2016 payment Cohen made to adult-film star Stormy Daniels, who claims to have had a sexual encounter with Trump, according to another person familiar with the investigators’ work.
Investigators took Cohen’s computer, phone and personal financial records as part of the search of his office at Rockefeller Center, the second person said. The broad seizure collected communications between Cohen and his clients — including some with Trump, according to both people.

This is a big deal. It's very early on, but here's some things we can already tell."

Was just coming on here to post that.
I’ve followed Popehat (Ken White irl) for a while as he does some excellent legal explainers - as a former Assistant United States Attorney in Los Angeles prosecuting fraud cases in the Government Fraud and Public Corruption Section you’d presume he knows this area well.
Btw his site has crashed but here is another link to the article

Slow news day I guess
Great recruting by the GOP finance arm - their former chairman was Steve Wynn (currently facing multiple allegations of Harvey Weinstein like behaviour) and now they are having to have selective amnesia about one of the deputy chairmen.
Meanwhile the former campaign chairman for the GOP candidate was again denied bail

They don't care. Anything that makes ANY republican "suffer" is a "liberul conspiracy!"
Surprised farmers and steel workers haven't blamed liberuls yet for the tariffs.
Somehow I doubt it is Syria that is going to occupy Trump’s time
