Discussion: Court-Appointed Special Master Gives Data On Cohen's 'Privilege' Claims

I know investigators are allowed to lie in the course of questioning… suppose Mueller may feign racism when talking to Jeffey, to really get him to open up?

Or lead questioning with…

“I know everybody loves fudge, but why must it be brown?, Amirite Jeffey?”

Just a thought…

So, realistically, Jones will only collect about half of her billings - after Cohen, Trump, and the Trump Organization stiff her.

Maybe she factored the standard Trump ripoff into her rate.

Stalling for time. They are waiting for some stroke of brilliance at 2am to get them out of this. Manafort is in the same mode.

Beginning to think there has been so much effort to claiming spies and other crap, they may have forgotten how to actually defend on what is in front of them already. Actually, Gowdy may have just deflated a lot of balloons with his agreeing the Feds did nothing wrong. So now what guys? (snicker)

It was always ever, first and foremost, a PR campaign, Which is why Trump doesn’t care if his lawyers are shysters and charlatans like Rudy. It’s always about the con.

Hard to believe Cohen’s wife lets him go out of the house in a jacket like that, but maybe she’s trying to get used to seeing him in stripes.

Trump won’t pay one thin dime on this I bet.

Nearly 300 items out of a million plus are “privileged”? I would have thought they would claim lots more.

What was Cohen doing you ask? How about not paying his phone bill.

Perhaps the payments and arrangements for NDAs on the 300 women that Trump has cheated on “Melanie” with, or graft payments into one of hs LLCs

300 dick pics seems like plenty to me.

When you stiff the federal government, they attach your property. Should come as no shock really when Spanky the Clown fails at, ah, stiffing.

Word! I wish he’d wear another jacket. He seems to have only one jacket and it makes him look like a lost tourist. Or maybe that is just his face.

You know, I took an ethics CLE today on privilege issues, and somehow the speakers all missed the message that attorney-client privilege is dead.

Two day shipping and free returns on all privileged documents!

You’re right that there’s no privilege for “highly personal” materials, but the Cohen team is likely requesting special treatment for them and seeking a protective order that would prevent their public disclosure and require that, if used, they must be kept under seal.

I clearly remember the fuss about two email classification headers of Clinton’s emails that conservatives carried on about for weeks. In retrospect those emails are miniaturized dwarves next to Trump giving classified information in the Oval Office. Now he has “personal” claims during a criminal investigation ??? But her emails !!
