The real story continues to be how few privilege claims Cohen actually made. Just cements the idea he was serving as a fixer, not as a lawyer.

I doubt Mueller’s losing any sleep over this. Cohen, on the other hand, is reportedly very fatigued.

The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I’ve seen that road before
It always leads me here
Leads me to you door

It does seem like the hit ratio to number of docs is pretty damn low.

Special master Barbara Jones rejected three of Cohen’s privilege claims and approved 162 of them in this initial batch of 292,409 items

Um, congratulations?

Don’t need to see his medical records to know he’s sick.

Jones agreed that seven items could be categorized as “highly personal,” what she previously defined as containing things like “medical records or similar materials.”

I believe the lawyerly, Latin term is, “inkletay ornpay”.

OT: And now he just disinvited the Eagles from the White House to keep dividing America along racial lines for his personal gain. What a tool.

Not a lawyer. Semi-clueless here. But this is good for Cohen, right? Like, it means that only a few bits of the seized evidence are admissible? Or do I have it backwards? Or what? Halp.

SDNY won this phase of the case and will get access to most everything. Cohen is likely going to flip. That’s why Trump is attacking the Eagles.

The key part of the article may be:

“Out of 291,770 total items, the Special Master agrees with the Plaintiff and/or Intervenors and finds that 148 items are Privileged and/or Partially Privileged and that 7 items are Highly Personal.”

Without actually bothering to do the math, that would mean that over 291,500 items are still valid evidence, unless I am seriously misreading it. It seems to me that it is a bit like saying, yes, my house is buried in deep snow, but a couple of the flakes landed next door instead.

Reading it again, the counts and the mixture of “pages” and “items” certainly makes it all very confusing.

It occurs to me as a huge Beatle fan who can still sing along to most of their songs, a two-way conversation could be imagined using nothing but their lyrics. So I scrolled through a few songs, and this has me giggling chez blue

You never give me your money
You only give me your funny paper
And in the middle of negotiations
You break down

Sheesh. I thought at first you meant the rock group, and what a shame it wasn’t since one of them is dead which would be a big thumb in the bloodshot eye…

The Golden State Warriors knew enough not to go to the Tainted House. But attacking the Eagles must be the diversion du jour.
