I sure hope the Dems have promised to support Mr Cohen for life. He sure as H*** wont be able to get any clients for his law practice anymore. Can he be disbarred for his violation of attorney-client privilege? Or brought up on any other charges? Or has Mueller given him immunity for life?

That was my thought also. How many more clients to Cohen tape?

Don’t know. Did Cohen violate the NYSBA code of conduct by taping clients without their permission?
Even in depositions, everyone knows the discussion will be memorialized in some manner.

CNN thinks, 'We've Got Him Now'!!!!!!!!!
By my count this is the 7,983rd time they've thought that. (and I may be a few thousand low)

Nice little dig about “other clients” there.
Lots of Democrats are now going to lay awake at night wondering if their shyster attorneys have recorded them saying far worse things.

“Did Cohen violate the NYSBA code of conduct by taping clients without their permission?”
Napolitano (who’s hardly ever right) said Cohen violated the law. An attorney must ask the client if the conversation can be recorded each time. Taking notes is OK; recording ... not.
To: EagleUSA
Remember how cnn report the clinton email release. We were not allowed to read them because the where the product of a hack. And were are the other lawyers? Are they okay with an attorney taping and then releasing a conversation covered by attorney/client privilege? What about the bar association. And why was the attorney’s office raided in the first place? where are the charges? It’s a political witch hunt with no limits.

No worries. He'll end up in a high-paying, do-nothing job with a Leftist think-tank or CNN.

I believe that Trump removed his privilege on the tape, knowing that it would be leaked and that there was nothing to it anyhow - except it would prove Cohen to be untrustworthy.

This is cheese in the maze folks. Cohen is a sidebar to distract Mueller and the Left.
To: EagleUSA
I hear there are other clients and many reporters that are taped - can this be so? Too bad!" Trump tweeted. Can't wit to hear the taped "reporters" he references

This article @ CBS says a few things:
- New York is a one party consent state, hence taping was legal, equivalent of attorney taking notes.
- But yes ... it's privileged, and essentially the client, Trump, has control over it's being released or not.
- Trump's legal team explicitly waived privledge.
The question then would be of course ... why waive it? I can think of a few reasons given the nature of how Trump plays politics, but it's time for me to get back to vacation.

Seems to me that clients ought to tape their lawyers now.

Surely President Trump has legal recourse. Couldn’t he sue Cohen and CNN and collect?

I guess because it will REALLY demoralize the Left once his approval numbers fail to go down again.
