Cohens lawyers claimed earlier this year that 4,085 of the 887,000 documents that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) seized from his office and residence involved communications with President Trump and were protected by attorney-client privilege. Jordan agreed with 2,633 of those claims some 64.4%.
The other documents 14,52 in all will go to the FBI. According to lawandcrime.com, Cohens lawyers still felt that 22 of those ought to have been protected by attorney-client privilege, but said that they would not pursue their objections to those in court.
Attorney-client privilege protects communications from a client to his or her attorney. The attorney may not reveal any of those communications and cannot be compelled to do so by the government unless they may have been made in furtherance of a crime.
The fact that the special master allowed one-third of the challenged documents to go to the government does not necessarily mean that they are evidence of a crime. It simply means that the privilege would not apply which could happen for a wide variety of reasons. For example, if a third person was present for a discussion, or carbon-copied on an email, that could mean that the client could not expect the attorney-client privilege to apply.

The Deep State, Mueller's prosecutors, most of the Media have kicked into overdrive trying to go after Trump. I hope they fry in their own evil juices.
I’m sure Trump took a couple of business law courses. Just make him his lawyer.
Privilege doesn’t apply to anybody the left is out to destroy. The laws are different for republicans and democrats, as we’ve seen time and again.
So there was no claim at all of privilege for nearly 883,000 out of 887,000 documents seized.
It’s on all the local news channels. Cohen secretly taped Trump talking about the Playboy chick!!!!!!!
They never finish the story with...it is illegal and/ or covered under the attorney client privilege because facts are irrelevant to them.
No, I don’t think that is what it said. It would depend upon how many other “clients” he had. The number will be small.
It may in fact be almost as large as you calculated, but I simply don’t know.
Now, without an official release of the information, I question the NYT and other sources. Skepticism is a good attitude toward the MSM.
I’m sure Trump knows some well qualified attorney’s who would take the case. Doubt DJT would touch such an undertaking.
Just curious, is this any relation to THE Barbara Jordan of Watergate infamy, she of the deep voice and Aunt Jamima figure?
“I hope they fry in their own evil juices.”
Deuteronomy 33:35
Vengeance in Mine. I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; for their day of disaster is near and their doom is coming quickly.
Psalm 94:1
Oh Lord God to whom vengeance belongeth,O God to whom vengeance belongeth,show thyself.
They go from Russians to women back to Russians to women, repeat, repeat.
It must be a “fraudian” slip:
Special Master “Barbara Jones”
NOT: “Barbara Jordan”
ComDem Insanity in pure Desporation.
You left out the Russian woman (a 2fer) they thought they found in the Oval Office.
They vacuumed his computer and file cabinets.
Why dont lawyers groups, bar groups, state AG’s (most are Republicans). and other stakeholders file suit ......
This huge infringement on attorney-client privilege could happen to them.

All this clutter and distractions makes me remember that Jeffy Sessions is the little weasel completely responsible for this.
And some people think, despite all that has gone before, that he will rectify the situation with the appointment of Huber.
One has to ransack the plays of Shakespeare to find the kind of treachery Sessions is engaged in.
Trump is the most effective POTUS in my lifetime. I’m 70.
The ComDems can simply go pound sand, the citizens will not abandon Trump.
It is time to DownSize DC. Close entire Departments including their SWAT Teams.
And Trump will actually act.
We won’t get a better shot at saving the nation.
That said, if you have not read this? You should.
