NEW YORK — Lawyers for President Donald Trump and his longtime personal attorney Michael Cohen went to court Friday trying to stop federal prosecutors from getting at private material — but wound up with a judge ordering them to disclose Cohen’s client list in public.
U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood on Friday ordered attorneys for Cohen to hand over a list of Cohen’s law clients and proof of their relationship by 10 a.m. Monday, so she can decide whether materials seized from Cohen’s office by federal law enforcement agents last week should be protected by attorney-client privilege.
That list will be a public record, Wood said, because the identities of an attorney’s clients are not subject to attorney-client privilege unless the mere name itself would reveal the kind of advice sought or given.
Wood’s order raises the possibility of further embarrassing disclosures involving Cohen, who is already at the center of a legal dispute involving adult-film actress Stormy Daniels, who is suing the president to void a nondisclosure agreement negotiated by Cohen concerning a sexual encounter Daniels says she had with Trump in 2006.

Mueller is just baiting Trump to fire him so the cries of "Saturday Night Massacre" can be loosed.
Take your time like the DOJ did
His Client List?!?!?!?! Every Lawyer, Doctor, CPA....citizen in the USA should be very afraid.
Kimba Wood why is that name ring a bell ?
Unreasonable Search and Seizure.
Obama and Holder are getting scared
Apparently, that is not privileged.
client list to find more people to blackmail
Clinton’s choice for AG but had to withdraw because of hiring illegals.
“Take your time like the DOJ did”
Or like the FBI FOIA timeline to Judificial Watch: 3 years
Kimba Wood is a stone faced leftist who is still angry about not going up the judicial ladder due to the Evil Republicans finding out about her using illegal alien nannies for her brats
In the Nannygate matter of 1993, Wood was Bill Clinton’s second unsuccessful choice for United States Attorney General.[7] Like Clinton’s previous nominee, Zoë Baird, Wood had hired an illegal immigrant as a nanny, but unlike Baird, she had paid the required taxes on the employee. Wood employed the illegal immigrant at a time when it was legal to do so, before the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 made the hiring of illegal immigrants unlawful.[8] The threat of a repetition of the same controversy nevertheless led to the hasty withdrawal of Wood from consideration.[9][10] Janet Reno was later nominated and confirmed for the post.[9] White House officials said they were angry at Judge Wood because she had not told Clinton and other officials about the nanny, even when she had been directly asked. In her statement, however, Judge Wood said she had not misled the White House.[10]
Micheal Cohen needs to Tell Mueller to go pound sand.
Snake Mueller has rewarded Trump’s lawyers’ cooperation the way venomous snakes always act — with a hiss and a strike.
As Limbaugh says, it is time for Trump to start issuing pardons for anyone the Snake looks at.
Then, he can challenge the Snake to come forward with all his evidence of collusion.
And when Mueller lets it be known he has none, then he can fire Rosenstein and Jeff Sessions.
Do not fire Mueller, since he is beloved, doted upon, and adored by Republicans. Mueller can then have free time to go to Capitol Hill and snuggle up to the Republicans. I mean, since Comey opened the gates to such language and imagery, then I can use it.
bttt
so they found nothing in their Raid , LOl
This is insane.
give them nothing. nothing.
So now Mueller is going to start going down the client list & start investigating them one by one? Between this and the banning of people who are deemed “Unsafe to the Community”, this is nothing short of Stalinist.
A shill for the left. Clintonite!!!
