Let’s just build a state prison entirely within a federal penitentiary and kill two birds with one stone. Streamline the process.

former federal prosecutors ,insisted that the parties involved would work collaboratively and avoid turf battles, given the high stakes of the case.

Are these the same guys who worked with Giuliani to trash Hillary, because they were biased against her & in favor of Trump? If so, I say New York should make sure they are ready to prosecute as many cases as possible!

I don’t know anything about how those offices are organized. The crooked friends of Giuliani were FBI as far as I know, but it makes sense that they’d be working tightly with the federal prosecutors.

Could be worse. He could have an HOA board going after him.

Ooops, of course you are right. It was the FBI leaking. But Giuliani got his ‘great prosecutor’ cred in the Southern district, I think.

Hard to keep the traitors straight w/o a scorecard!

Much of Rudy’s cred was, of course, hyped by ol’ Lying Horseteeth
Himself. He made a big show of going after an already weakened Italian mafia—the Russian mafia, not so much.

I’m sure that if Mueller sees a problem with it, he won’t be shy about letting them know. Didn’t he refer the case to the NY ag?

As Josh said, every investigative and prosecuting authority in the State of NY is running over each other trying to see who can get the Trump Org first. SDNY is positioning itself to take down the Trump Org and its key associates.

I do like NYAG involved though, to remove pardon power of Donald

And it’s greatly to his credit. For he himself has said it. That he was a bigly prosecutor. That he was a bi-i-i-i-i-igly prosecutor.

He was apparently good at taking credit for the work of his subordinates as well.

Cohen is probably screwed regardless but it wouldn’t come as much of a surprise if some of these inter-agency squabbles and collisions polluted the water enough to piss a judge off and spoil a prosecution or three.
