On Tuesday’s edition of CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time,” Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz reacted to the release of a tape of a conversation between Donald Trump and Michael Cohen by stating that Cohen is “going to flip.” He added that even if everything Cohen’s lawyer, Lanny Davis says is true, “there’s no crime. There’s no federal crime. There’s no impeachable offense.”
Dershowitz began by saying, “I don’t know why anybody waived the lawyer-client communication regarding this tape.”
He continued, “[H]ere you have the client maybe saying, let’s pay cash. The lawyer says, no, no, no, do it by check. And the client comes back and says, I’ll do it by check. That’s a typical conversation. I’ve had that conversation a dozen times with clients, and you persuade them to do the right thing. But I think the big picture here is, number one, Lanny is a terrific lawyer. And so, there is a real lawyer who is now against Trump, unlike Avenatti and some of the others, a really, really good lawyer who’s on this case. Second of all, you have a situation where, you know, he’s going to flip. There’s no question. He’s now made it clear.”

Hopefully Cohen will never be able to get another client in his life. He’ll end up having to write a tell-all book, but that will flop too. Say goodbye fool. In the words of Tom Lantos (D-CA): “At least Admiral Boorda had the decency to commit suicide.”
The only party that can waive lawyer-client privelege is the client. And I don't recall reading that Trump had done that. So what is Dershowitz talking about?
May I add that if this were really a counterintelligence investigation it would be done in absolute secrecy.
Cohen is also a NY lawyer. NY ain't cheap.
Most people wouldn't listen to him as he is already not respected for not respecting attorney-client privilege.
Yes. I wonder this as well.
Although post #7 seems to indicate otherwise. Link to that info available?
