I think destroying client lawyer confidentiality by publishing the investigation’s every detail in the nightly news is a terrible precedent for our legal system. If they want to raid the lawyer and take all his privileged information, fine, but it should only be seen by the investigators and not discussed publicly unless it has direct and unquestionable connection to the investigation at hand, which is supposed to be ties to Russia.
Fascinating to hear Hannity’s comment : I never retained him for legal purposes, but I claimed client-attorney privilege with Cohen. I also only discussed real estate stuff with him.
So to summarize, Hannity engaged an attorney -who’s only two other clients are involved in sexual assault cases - for purely real estate purposes?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Honestly, did anyone expect anything different?
My initial thought is how inappropriate it is for somebody who claims to be an unbiased news figure to have such a close and undisclosed relationship with the person he frequently covers. I know Hannity is much more entertainment than actual news but if you say something enough it eventually becomes true, so I’d guess that lots of his viewers consider him as incorruptible.
Not especially surprised by all this, but it makes me shake my head.
If anything, tonight’s episode of Hannity is going to be incredible television
Is it not insanely common for famous and/or rich people to have the same lawyers? The law is a referral business. If you like a lawyer, you recommend them to others, kind of like consulting...
@PwC, my understanding is that privilege is about the content of discussions/counsel, not the mere fact if the relationship. Per the article the judge determined that the client being embarrassed to be named is not sufficient reason to be kept secret. That’s perfectly reasonable, isn’t it? As for Russia, Mueller turned this over to rosenstein specifically because he felt it was outside his mandate, so that’s exactly what you wanted.
Also here’s a thought exercise: “Obama private attorney also secretly represents MSNBC’s Maddow”. Still a nothingburger? Be honest
You didn’t address any of the substance of my post. You and I know he’s nothing but a lying shill but he and the network represent themselves as news. Are you really saying this is all ok because everyone knows fox isn’t real news?
The world dies of shock...
D2, Cohen was not an actively practicing lawyer. He apparently has three clients, including Hannity, and its publicly known that he drafted almost identical NDAs which contained payoffs for his other two clients and the woman who they had alleged affairs with
You know the difference between “liberal mainstream media” and fox? Brian Williams got fired
Let’s make some educated guesses. The other two clients (Trump and the head of the GOP) hired Cohen to pay off and make go away illicit affairs, at least one involving an abortion (because like everything else, thats only wrong if a liberal does it). So that’s the BEST case here for Hannity and Trump. When “oh, you got a side chick prego? No problem, I got a guy...” is the least bad angle on your story, you’re gonna have a bad time.
So they shared the same lawyer..who cares? That's like implying if an attorney represents a murderer, then all of the other clients are murderers too. Honestly this incessant rhetoric is a distraction from real world issues. Last time I checked, consulting with a lawyer doesn't mean you've committed a crime.
I need more info to determine if/why I should care.
This Hannity stuff is a nothingburger.
Cohen is a fixer. He likely won’t turn on POTUS.
protest too much, VP2? There are many possibilities and sure, not all of them necessarily mean potus did something illegal. It’s possible hannity didn’t break any laws either. But he certainly seems to violated the most basic rules of journalism by not disclosing an obvious conflict of interest. Anyone else in any other era would have been fired within minutes. We’ll see what FOX does. And if he isn’t fired, isn’t it plausible that he’s being protected by potus?
Roger Ailes was fired because he was a sexual predator so not germane to a discussion of journalistic ethics. My point is that when BW “misrepresented” a story, he was fired because he lost the trust of the audience and network. This very concept seems to be anathema at FOX
"Obama uses shady “lawyer” as secret conduit to coordinate positive media coverage, get advice". Again we’ll see what comes as the court case progresses but I can’t believe you’re being so blasé about this. It looks /really/ shady, don’t you think? He’s my lawyer, he’s not my lawyer, I might have paid him ten bucks, we only talked about real estate... c’mon let’s be real something is off even if not strictly illegal. And if you have to resort to legalism as a defense you know you’re defending a bad guy
Citation for that? Also the point is that this smug dismissal as no big deal would certainly be a big deal if the shoe was on the other foot.
