“The question for me is why Sean didn’t disclose this earlier.”
why? is it anyone other than Sean’s business?
Is there any legitimate explanation for this story leaking? It looks to me like yet another abuse of the FBI’s powers by the Deep State. I am disgusted.
Amendment 4
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Comey obviously doesn’t give a sh*t, nor does the judge who signed the warrant.
In a court case wherein no wrongdoing has yet been alleged the judge requires that the attorney “defendant” must reveal the names of all of his clients.
The judge requires that Sean Hannity’s name be revealed as one of those clients even though Hannity says he has never retained Cohen, never been billed by Cohen and has never paid Cohen for legal advice. Hannity’s name is publicly released as a client of Cohen’s. Not even an allegation of wrongdoing is mentioned.
But what people are upset about is that Hannity didn’t publicly disclose that he had a few private conversations with a well-known NY lawyer. Even FReepers are telling me that’s what bugs them most.
Id love to see the conversations Juan Williams lawyer had with him..what kind of juicy details we might find out..but Juan would just complain and say its racist
I had to chuckle when I was reading through the reasons and case citations for the reasons for non disclosure. Embarrassment was one of them. Cohen’s legal team for whatever reason thought disclosure of Hannity being a client of Cohen would bring embarrassment.
This is the first account of this that says Cohen’s attorneys got the ruling in their favor WRT looking at the docs for attorney client material.
Well, I’m shocked!
I didn’t think ANYONE ever got free legal advice.
I’m so naive.
There enough there for Mueller to get a search warrant now to see if that is true. More than enough.
The linchpin of our whole legal system is the notion that the accused is entitled to a defense; lawyer/client commo is protected for that reason.
If LEO’s can raid a law office willy-nilly clients will gradually stop trusting their lawyers.
Is worth it to throw out our legal system wholesale, in order to GET Trump..?
Apparently they think so.
Kimba Wood? There’s a blast from the past! Wasn’t she the judge who BJ Clinton tried to nominate for the Supreme Court early in his first term but had to withdraw her name when it was revealed she was once a Playboy Bunny in one of Hefner’s clubs? Or was she the other one who had to withdraw when it was discovered she was paying her Hispanic maid under the table with no Social Security taxes being taken out? Old boy really could pick them, huh?
Hannity often has lawyer Alan Dershowitz on to discuss the legal and ethical issues surrounding Mueller, Comey and the rest of the FBI/DOJ crooks. Dershowitz just took Hannity to the woodshed at the start of tonight’s interview for not revealing that he has/had a consultation relationship with Trump attorney Mark Cohen. Hannity responded it was minor and didn’t involve politics, but property. Dershowitz said just the same it would have been best to have revealed it up front before discussing and supporting Cohen.
If Sean’s interaction with Cohen was minimal, with no retention of Cohen as a lawyer and billing of fees, and I’m not suggesting it wasn’t, why was Hannity listed as a client in the material seized by the FBI?
I think maybe Hannity had a parking ticket or two or may have not used his turn signal and he had to consult with Mr. Cohen regarding these or similar legal matters.
Gun-wielding FBI agents busted into Sean’s mansion soon to follow...
Didn't someone say Cohen is barely an attorney because he has only one client? I guess has had at least two.
Why?
Disclose to who exactly? Juan Williams?
When did it become a crime to have a lawyer, any lawyer?
“Juan Williams noted on “The Five” that perhaps he should have revealed his relationship with Cohen sooner.”
Hey, Juan: why haven’t you been upfront earlier and made full disclosure that you were repeatedly dropped on your head as a baby? If you had ‘fessed up, folks might cut you some slack for being such an idiot.
Is this the same Judge Kimba Wood that Slick Willie wanted to be his Attorney General before she withdrew and Janet Reno got the job?
Things that make you go "hmmmmmm..."
