“It is not a Crime to talk to your Lawyer!”

But it is a serious ethics violation disclosing conversations under attorney/client privilege.

“But it is a serious ethics violation disclosing conversations under attorney/client privilege.”

Is Cohen still a lawyer?

Communications about a past crime are privileged. Communications about an ongoing or future crime are not privileged.

If my client tells me he killed someone, that's privileged. If he tells me he is going to have the witness against him killed, that isn't privileged.
