“If he does, is that not a crime in itself?”
He could be the attorney for the criminal(s). If so, I guess there’s attorney-client privilege. Probably not, though, if murder is involved — but I don’t know.
So a lawyer that files defamation lawsuits is now a rape/murder defense attorney?
And he’s threatening those exact people?
Are you really pushing that?

No, that’s not how it works. He’d still be bound by law to turn over any and all incriminating evidence to the proper authorities. Privilege only means he doesn’t have to reveal any information that they have given to him in statements, it does not cover actual evidence.
