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 Cohens client list in public.
U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood on Friday ordered attorneys for Cohen to hand over a list of Cohens law clients and proof of their relationship by 10 a.m. Monday, so she can decide whether materials seized from Cohens 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 attorneys clients are not subject to attorney-client privilege unless the mere name itself would reveal the kind of advice sought or given.
Woods 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.

Clinton tried to make her AG, but she had a nanny problem.
Trump has all the legal grounds that he needs to fire Mueller. This is unconstitutional.
“Take your time like the DOJ did”
Amen and amen.

Client lists are protected confidential information.
No need to respond.

On December 18, 1987, based upon a recommendation from Senator Al D’Amato,[3] Wood was nominated by President Ronald Reagan to a seat on the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York vacated by Judge Constance Baker Motley. Wood was confirmed by by a unanimous United States Senate on April 19, 1988, and received her commission on April 20, 1988. She entered on duty on July 28, 1988.[5] She served as Chief Judge from 2006 to 2009 and assumed senior status on June 1, 2009.[4]
I have a different phrase but yours is good. I hate that song of a b**** mother *****
“Kimba Wood why (does) that name ring a bell?”
She sometimes makes the news when her ignorant decisions are overturned.
First thing that came to me as well.
Common thread.....the Arkansas Mafia in all of this.
So deep state prosecutors got a warrant to seize all of this attorney's email accounts, and then went through the attorney's emails deciding for themselves which emails they will credit as attorney-client privileged, after having read them all and learning of their contents.
Meanwhile Hillary and the DNC use their lawyer as a cut-out to bankroll the phony Steele dossier which was the basis for the US government to spy on the Trump campaign and unmask and distribute the info far and wide.
We are truly living in a banana republic. Shouldn't we at least get free bananas?
Hired illegal immigrant and had to withdraw as Clinton's AG. I see she was named as the "other woman" in her then boyfriend's 1995 divorce proceedings. She later married him, but they were adulterer's at the time.
If Cohen actually recorded conversations with clients, he is an idiot.
This sounds like a need for an emergency stay from a higher court. The legal system is, all too often, a partisan weapon used by the Left to win regardless of the law or facts.
Can parts of the list be redacted?
This is the fair and above board judge they found? The United States Justice system is a pathetic joke. Civil disobedience is need on mass
“Mueller is just baiting Trump to fire him so the cries of “Saturday Night Massacre” can be loosed. “
As opposed to letting him continue? He’s compiling a laundry list of crimes to present to congress for impeachment...That should be apparent to EVERYONE by now.
Why would you give congress a ‘LEGITIMATE’ REASON TO IMPEACH TRUMP by letting Mueller present his ‘report’. Why would you let mueller give the rat bastards in congress a legal fig leaf to impeach Trump?
This is not that hard people.
Why would you let mueller give the rat bastards in congress a legal fig leaf to impeach Trump?
That.
+1
As a former Playboy Bunny, Kimba should be the President’s kind of gal. She was for Pres. Bubba who wanted her as AG
This makes me so mad, you know Hillary and company have all of this private information are looking for anything to twist and lie about...
Bend and Flush!
Who cares who his clients are? Why should that change their right to secrecy of attorney client privilege???
