Michael Cohen, President Trump's personal attorney, is under federal investigation.
The raid on the home and office of Trump's longtime personal attorney brought flashbacks of a local incident with numerous parallels.
Law enforcement had the benefit of the doubt - until a late-night raid on an apparently unrelated matter tipped public opinion in Hastings's favor.
In February 2016, law enforcement officials armed with a warrant conducted a 10 p.m. raid on Hastings's Hillsboro home, where his visiting father-in-law was ordered out of the house into the freezing night.
The purpose of the raid, according to the search warrant, was to look for evidence of residency - one of the eventual charges against him was election falsification for not living where he said he lived - with investigators meticulously documenting the underwear of Hastings's wife, their young child's toys, and even the serial number of their commode.
The raid on Trump's personal attorney, apparently to probe issues far removed from the original Russian interference and collusion mandate, could well be a tipping point in Trump's favor.
Now, after the raid on Trump's personal attorney, it appears to many that they are merely looking for a win on something - anything.
