Prosecutors recover 16 pages of shredded Cohen documents: court filing

Federal prosecutors have reconstructed about 16 pages of shredded documents as part of material seized in raids involving President Trump's longtime personal attorney Michael Cohen earlier this year.

A court filing submitted Friday to the judge in the Southern District of New York who is overseeing the files seized in the April raids states that the documents have been reconstructed and produced for the first time.

Prosecutors also announced that FBI agents had recovered more than 700 pages of encrypted messages between Cohen and other recipients from the private chat apps WhatsApp and Signal.

A second Blackberry cell phone used by Cohen is also under investigation, but has not yet yielded its contents, according to the court filling.

"While the FBI cannot, therefore, estimate the volume of data on this latter device, the BlackBerry produced yesterday contains approximately 315 megabytes of data," prosecutors wrote.

It's interesting it is 16 pages instead of, say, 2000 pages. It might indicate these pages were specifically shredded, and recently.

Cohen was stuffing into the shredder on the morning of the raid. Avenatti said you never want to cheap out on a shredder, always get a crosscut if you're seriously compromised

By matching edges, and other things. Powerful computers, software and video imaging have opened up capabilities unheard of ten years ago.

It was just funny the way Avenatti said it. He doesn't give Michael Cohen an inch of wiggle room. Made me laugh, always a good thing
