So an investigation into Russian election meddling is now into the unsavory exploits of radio talk show hosts because of raiding an attorney's office files about other clients.

totally separate investigation, as you know. or should know.

didn't see you whining about a real estate fraud investigation morphing into a "whose cum is that on that dress?" investigation.

Kimba Wood is the judge in the Cohen case?!?! Classic.

As it turns out, Cohen's other client is Hannity.

I'm sorry, but if Hannity used this guy to pay off some chicks he had an affair with can somebody be on the lookout for my @ ss, because I'm 100% certain that I'm about to laugh it off.

While I'm pretty sure she's drifted to the right, Roseanne is only about Roseanne.

Roseanne is left but not liberal. She's the type who gets the wind up conservatives and who they are always conflating with liberals either ignorantly or cynically. She comes out of the Green / coercive left that really does want you to sit down and shut up and let them run things for your own good -- the very opposite of the egalitarian, self-deterministic, equal opportunity leftism of liberalism.

Roseanne : Left :: Buchanan : Right

It's less ideas than personal ambition and a strong tendency towards totalitarian thinking.

Yeah funny how it they all felt different when it’s a D under investigation.

So investigating a lawyer now allows for naming every single client that lawyer has represented?

"We think Perry Mason defrauded Joe Schmoe and the city on a jay-walking case he respresented on. Let's get all of Mason's client files and find out everything about the rest of Mason's clients. Who knows ... some other names and clients and cases may 'leak' out."

Something about that comes off as very wrong.


Who here's been divorced* and had the settlement sealed? Would you want those documents swept up in what you thought were privileged attorney/client files and released in such a manner?


*Nope.

how do you know if there's a lawyer/client privilege if you don't know who the clients are?

nice pivot and deflection, by the way. keep at it. since we know you're not a Trump supporter.

Re: POTUS 45.31: "The Caravan is Coming.""The Caravan is Coming."

Have I said a < bleep > thing about Trump?

What I have said:

How in the world is Sean Hannity drug into an investigation of Cohen representing an RNC < bleep >?

Hannity's name was swept up in Cohen's files as another client.

Something about that just feels wrong.

And if Hannity did that, and if nothing criminal happened (<-- important caveat), what business was that civil matter of ours?

*Nope.

Is a client list the same as attorney-client privilege? I'd imagine that any confidential information won't be leaked, but his client list likely will.

It's interesting, I've signed a doc stating that I can't tell anyone the names of my employer's clients/customers unless there's a signed doc to allow for disclosure. That's rare, and the client being disclosed is usually compensated. That rarely seems to be the case for lawyers and their clients.

Mentioning that ...

She brought another dress to the dry cleaner the other day.
The dry cleaner looks at it and says, ...
"No problem. We'll get that right away. Come again."
"No. Toothpaste."

You are talking from somewhere so far up your own a*s I can smell it here in Ohio. Cohen is being subjected to the same rules and regulations as any other attorney would be in his situation. If you had the first understanding of what is actually right about our judicial system, you might understand why. It's just Cohen's tough luck that, 1.) his client is a well known president of the United States, and 2.) both he and his client are not particularly good at what they do. I will go even further to say that the SDNY (and every other entity involved) are actually going to be even more cautious than they would if they were going after you, me or anyone else of relatively modest means.

You think this all comes off as very wrong because it is a republican president caught in the cross hairs. Had Clinton been selected president she would likely be facing impeachment right now by the treasonous republicans running the House, and you would be gleefully pointing out all of the offenses she's committed and if some questions of fair play came up you'd be dismissing them as the political whining of the defeated left.

Your first paragraph is for the distinguished members of the bar who grace our lowly presence.

The second paragraph, I've signed the same. I'm held to it for three years after separation.
