Talk about unethical? Talk about betrayal? And what happened to ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVELEGE?

[EagleUSA]

Yes, it is privilege.....

[GOP Poet]

This has always been my question as well.

I sure hope the Dems have promised to support Mr Cohen for life. He sure as H*** won’t 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?

[Parley Baer]

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

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)

[Buckeye McFrog]

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.

[JoSixChip]

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.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

This is cheese in the maze folks. Cohen is a sidebar to distract Mueller and the Left.

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

[tinyowl]

This article @ CBS says a few things:

1. New York is a one party consent state, hence taping was legal, equivalent of attorney taking notes.
2. But yes ... it's privileged, and essentially the client, Trump, has control over it's being released or not.
3. 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.

[Savage Beast]

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

[Vaduz]

Bet it stand however no crime was made check site Law & Crime.

[cgbg]

I hope attorneys around the country are paying close attention—when they can’t get clients because they can’t be trusted to keep confidentiality.

That is always the first thing an attorney tells you—”Your secrets are safe with me.”

The New York bar needs to dis-bar this guy or have all attorneys face the consequences.

[butlerweave]

If they have 12 just wait until they edit them for one really good one and try to pass it off as Real ,LOL

[M Kehoe]

Cohen is done practicing law in NY.

Trump may forgive him one day and allow him on The Apprentice.
