President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Informal conversations can also create an attorney-client relationship. It's possible that Cohen saw that line being crossed in his conversations with Hannity and so felt a need to keep a record of them, while Hannity might have seen them as not having created a formal relationship because of the things he's said: no formal retainer agreement, no invoices, no payments, etc.

 

Hannity can't get rid of this stink even if he did just ask a few questions, which I'm sure won't be the case.

He's now forever tied to the attorney who paid the president's hooker $130,000 in hush money.

It's terribly funny but there's more coming down the pike for Hannity. Just wait for it.

 

In any reputable news organization, Hannity would have been yanked off the air the second his name was spoken in court. We'll see what Fox does.

 

And amid all this, small victory for Cohn, it appears. Sounds like it's like winning the first inning, but still.

 

Mission Accomplished.

 

It’s Michael Cohen and Roy Cohn. Both trump lawyers, but Cohn is dead.

 

As I can tell you from prior employment experience, the lines can get very blurred when you are a lawyer working for an entity. It's not always clear where your lawyer role ends and your strategic advisor role begins. Courts in my experience give huge deference to the privilege.

 

Very not fine people on both sides.

 

I'm hacked off that my school has a lousy Taint team.

 

Hannity is not part of the entity (Trump Org) Cohen represents. Hannity has now said he consulted Cohen on real estate law. OK, that's privileged. If there's a tape where Cohen and Hannity discuss what Sean was going to say on the air about Cohen, this layperson finds it hard to believe that's privileged.
