FBI/JAMES COMEY/LEGAL/MICHAEL COHEN/TRUMP PEOPLE: “Former FBI Director James Comey defended the bureau on Thursday [5-3-18] after Rudy Giuliani compared FBI agents to ‘stormtroopers’ over last month’s raid on President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, Michael Cohen…The term ‘stormtroopers’ originated during World War I to describe German assault troops, but it’s also been applied to enforcers of the early Nazi Party during the rise of Adolf Hitler. In modern times, it’s become known for describing enemy infantrymen in the ‘Star Wars’ universe. In a Wednesday interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, Giuliani revealed that Trump had reimbursed Cohen for a $130,000 payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. In discussing the transaction, Giuliani criticized an FBI raid on Cohen that took place last month.”
