Feds: Michael Cohen is barely even a lawyer
NY Post ^ | 4/13/2019 | Ruth Brown

Posted on 04/14/2018 2:14:27 AM PDT by T-Bird45

Michael Cohen is a fraud of a lawyer who works exclusively for President Trump, federal prosecutors charged Friday. “Cohen has told at least one witness that he has only [one] client — President Trump,” the lawyers wrote in court documents, challenging Cohen’s claims that records seized in raids on his home and office Monday should be protected by attorney-client privilege. And he’s barely doing any “legal work” for Trump, either, they claim. “[Reviews of the records] indicate that Cohen is in fact performing little to no legal work, and that zero ­e-mails were exchanged with President Trump,” according to the brief, filed in Manhattan federal court.

Except for the veneer of government power and an unlimited budget, the same could be said of the SDNY legal staff.

Pure crap. Any good lawyer does not use email, text messaging, laptops, etc.... Because client confidentiality comes first.

Cryptic hand written notes on a yellow pad, using obscure phrases.

So they’re mad because there weren’t attorney-client email records to steal and leak through after they sent their jack booted thugs to raid his office?

So what, Trump doesn’t use e-mail.

Much of the formal legal advice I have received has been verbal...

I suspected Trump is smart enough to leave no trail of private communications with his lawyer.
What’s next? His tax report?

The method of communication depends on the client and what they prefer. Most of the time the client fears not the government but family and business associates. Yet without government protection of the attorney-client privilege, legal practice and access to legal help would become deeply insecure.

There is no “barely even” exception to the attorney client privilege.

Wait, the judge deciding whether Trump has attorney-client privilege is KIMBA WOOD, Bill Clinton’s failed nominee for AG?!?!?!?

Because he doesn’t. Cohen has very wealthy clients (like billionaires) and makes a lot of money.

“Barely a lawyer”. That’s like being “barely” pregnant. You are ether are or your not.
