Man, if only we could elect republicans to hold the con-gre$$, we’d show ‘em who’s boss!
The issue with attorney client privilege is ATTORNEYS.
Judges are attorneys. They pretzel the law to their political (financial) benefit.
They mock the law and create distrust.
This won’t go on much longer.
Hillary Clinton’s attorneys got immunity, Trumps get raided. This is a travesty!
There’s a fraud exception to this which is apparently what they used to justify it.

I am at a loss as to why Judge Wood even allowed the Media lawyer to make any argument at all. As soon as he identified his clients, it was clear he was not a party to the case before her. He had no business even being in the court room.
* She allowed a party with no standing to make an argument in a criminal case.
Even worse, the argument was to breach the Attorney-Client privilege for no purpose other than to help the news media and embarrass a private citizen who was no party to the criminal proceeding.
Lookout journalists, you’re next. The privilege assumption for any professional is over.
I would have refused to comply with the judge’s order and cite attorney-client privilege as my authority for doing so. I believe that the order was ultra-vires.
Kimba Wood needs to be removed from the bench-—permanently.
Who has standing for what??

Then by the same reasoning, journalists should not be permitted to keep secret the identity of their sources.
