President Trump’s longtime lawyer, Michael D. Cohen, secretly recorded a conversation with Mr. Trump two months before the presidential election in which they discussed payments to a former Playboy model who said she had an affair with Mr. Trump, according to lawyers and others familiar with the recording.
The F.B.I. seized the recording this year during a raid on Mr. Cohen’s office. The Justice Department is investigating Mr. Cohen’s involvement in paying women to tamp down embarrassing news stories about Mr. Trump ahead of the 2016 election. Prosecutors want to know whether that violated federal campaign finance laws, and any conversation with Mr. Trump about those payments would be of keen interest to them.

Isn’t this attorney client privileged info?
BFD!!
Was this a RUSSIAN playboy model?????
Who gives a RATS behind????
Bull puckey
Well if they are going to investigate that, what about the Clinton campaign in 1992 doing to the same thing.
If Cohen wiretapped his own client then that recording caanot be used in any investigation or prosecution as it was probably illegal and Trump can sue Cohen for anything and everything he has got for invasion of privacy.
i also believe in the state of NY if there are three people on he conversation at least two must be aware if the conversation is being recorded...
Yes....please tell us what the impeachable offense here is.
If having an affair is cause to lose your job,
half of congress would be out of of a job too.
This is the Playboy model. Not STormy.
Oh, look. Another pre-election story for the MSM and other lefties to lose their stuff over, and try to cause hysteria. They’re lining up these attacks to finally cause Trump’s supporters to see the light. (Well, THAT’S not going to happen) This isn’t about actually doing anything legal to Trump. It’s about using any means possible, to undermine his support, and sink republicans in the midterms. Cue Hollywood scum who have slept around, done every perverted thing known to mankind, and produce trash, rape children and ignore it, to become apoplectic, along with John Brennan, et al in 3, 2, 1....
It’s illegal to record somebody without their knowledge
Cohen being represented by Lanny Davis??
Did I just hear that??
This was supposed to be about investigating if Trump had worked with Russia, and yet this has gone to taking hones off the blackwater CEO, going after the NRA, raiding his lawyers office, sorry but where the f%%% is Sessions, fire him and get someone who can do the job and stop this madness.
Exactly...and, several ex-Presidents!!
As usual this is not about what can be legally used against President Trump. I am sure that they have already offered Cohan immunity to testify against President Trump. Probably nothing that they seized in this raid can actually be used against President Trump legally. It is all about embarrassing and weakening him politically so that they can continue to pile on until they take him down.
So we now have no attorney client privilege in this country. This is where we are?
****************
The privilege still exists. But only for Democrats.
Attorney client privilege.
“””””I’m not a lawyer, but couldn’t Cohen get disbarred for that?”””””””””
If he were my lawyer, getting disbarred would be the least of his problems.
Exactly.
Fake news.
I was answering a specific question about attorney client privilege....in case you missed it, they will make one up if they have to...in has gotten that bad.
And Democrats don’t have to obey laws but everyone else does, and they have a media that focuses only on the other side.
