Michael Cohen Represented Sean Hannity, Lawyers Reveal
Daily Beast ^ | 04/16/2018 | Daily Beast Staff

Michael Cohen represented Fox News host Sean Hannity, Cohen's lawyers were forced to reveal in federal court on Monday. “We have been friends a long time. I have sought legal advice from Michael,” Hannity told the Wall Street Journal. Cohen was present at a hearing where his attorneys are challenging the FBI’s seizure of documents he claims are protected by attorney-client privilege. Cohen’s other two clients in recent years, he said, are President Donald Trump and Elliot Broidy, a Republican fundraiser. Cohen negotiated non-disclosure agreements with Trump and Broidy's alleged mistresses.

Trump should grab that pedophile Jeffery Epstein and hold him until he coughs up the name of every pervert who's stepped foot on Pedophile Island in the past 10 years.

The judge who ordered this is a real piece of excrement.

it’s probably easily found on LexisNexis in paperwork for court cases.

BS, people obtain all sorts of legal advice that does not result in any paperwork being filed in court, or with any sort of government entity.

How in the hell is it appropriate to make that information public?

The identity of a lawyer's client is not privileged. You have to disclose the name of the client to support a claim of attorney-client privilege.

No sobbing on Shepturd Smith’s program today! He can hardly contain his glee. What a little puke.

Exactly.

Will the judge decline to allow Trump any representation at all, anywhere, EVER?

Trump appeals for review of the case, to view any abuses to attorney-client privilege.

At the moment, it doesn’t sound like he will be allowed to even question a syllable of this damn case.

JUSTICE in the USA? This may wind up in the Supreme Court?

The government obviously has acquired attorney client info between Hannity and Cohen.

You know, that might be a good thing. If President Trump ever logs into Free Republic, that makes US advisors to the President, too.

Ooooh! I suddenly feel so important! :-) :-) :-)

Looks like Mueller and company went judge shopping at the Clinton Foundation Judge Store.

Hannity stating on the air now saying he never PAID Cohen, but requested legal advice from Cohen. Says no issue he ever consulted Cohen on involved “a third party”....sounds like the informal “fruits” of a friendship....hey, I have friends that are attorneys as well and I pick their brains from time to time when they let me. That’s what friends are for....
