No -- I'm saying Cohen was hired for things that had nothing to do with legal work.
It's not uncommon in the real estate business. Big players in real estate do this all the time ... to make deals (even perfectly legitimate ones) behind the scenes through an intermediary who protects the client through lawyer-client privilege.
OK, understood.
However, Trump’s enemies (starting with the press) will conflate this with Trump purposely hired Cohen to do specific illegal things for him.
They certainly will NOT tell the public this is common practice in the real estate business.
