Maybe the distinction is that the call(s) were between Cohen and the actual WH (Trump in his president capacity) vs between Cohen and Trump privately, in his "personal" capacity? |

This was vetted by supervisors at the U.S. Attorney’s Office, specialized lawyers at the Justice Department, and by a Deputy Assistant Attorney General, and a judge. Given who Cohen is, it’s hard to believe Rosenstein was not consulted as well.

| Best part is that they must show evidence of ongoing crime to get approval for wiretap not just past crimes. And the idiot called him even after his raid so that was most definitely recorded. |

Why is this a surprise? It was almost certain that Cohen was being electronically surveillance and the intercepted communications provided the predicate for the warrants executed on his home, hotel, office and safe deposit box. I also seem to remember reporting that the FBI has been given a warrant for Cohen’s email accounts, and this is the same warrant. I’d love to see that probable cause affidavit. |

| Trump called Cohen after the raid. Idiot in chief. |

I don't dispute he's an idiot, but presumably after the raid Cohen would have known he was being surveilled in some capacity, and avoiding discussing things over the phone. That said, I could see Trump pulling a "Stay strong, Michael" without Cohen being able to stop him. |

| Based all that is revealed, in Cohen Trump's lawyer or his Pimp? |

They've reported that the call was between Cohen and a number at the White House. BUT they haven't said who at the WH that number belongs to - don't assume it's the President.
(keep in mind all the WH lawyers coming & going lately...) |

I'm sure they were discussing the weather, and not a crime (whose, we don't know, as you said). |

It turns out that the NBC report on Cohen's phone being tapped was erroneous:
