— New Jersey lawyer Donald Manno, offering advice for Michael Cohen in the wake of the FBI’s raid on his home and offices. In 2008, Manno’s law office was raided by federal investigators who were building a racketeering case against a suspected mobster who happened to be a friend of Manno’s, and also a client. Manno’s client was charged with fraud, money laundering and extortion, as was he. Manno was eventually acquitted on all charges. Manno also suggested that Cohen sue the government to protect Donald Trump’s confidential information.
