NEW YORK (Reuters) - A review of documents seized from U.S. President Donald Trump’s longtime personal lawyer Michael Cohen has so far turned up only a handful of communications between Cohen and his clients, a federal judge said in a written order on Friday. {snip}

... according to an order from U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood on Friday confirming findings by the special master. The order said most of the documents were communications between Cohen and his lawyers. {snip}

Prosecutors said in an April court filing that they...were primarily investigating his personal business dealings.

Cohen has yet to be charged with any crime or implicated in any Russian collusion.

Who knew there was a specific number of communications required in order to establish that someone is one’s lawyer?

In Amerika, if you hold “incorrect” political views, you’re guilty until proven innocent.

Lawyering was not Cohen's primary work. A of lawyers are in multiple businesses....but keep up their license.

I'll bet 90% of Congress are lawyers....but just don't keep up their licenses.

. . . most of the documents were communications between Cohen and his lawyers. {snip}

If the FBI, Obama-nominated judges, and the Deep State still believed in the rule of law, wouldn't communications between Cohen and his own lawyers also be protected under attorney-client privilege? I miss the rule of law.

Oh well, I guess the client/lawyer thingee has not been shot to he!!.

When the dust settles, that is one of the most egregious rape of one of our protections. So, now they’re saying, “there wasn’t much there” to make it less offensive.
Sorry, that breach is one for which they should be held accountable. No, they should NOT get away with it.

Lawyers should be barred from holding any elective or appointed political office.

I believe most states are now requiring Continuing Education. They just don't register if they pick up a job that doesn't need it....but can re-register in the future.

Gazillion dollars?? I know few attorneys who spent a gazillion dollars.

That’s just crazy Tom trying to rile up Trump’s supporters. Tom’s got the brain of a teenager.
