Discussion: Trump Rages On, Claims ‘Attorney-Client Privilege Is Dead!’ After Cohen Raid

In all seriousness, it’s sad that a person with so much experience with attorney-client relationships could remain so destructively ignorant of what’s going on here. If this was actually just any other day I’d wish Trump were more curious and humble. I know, I know, that’s a damned pipe dream. Oh well.

I love the smell of desperation in the morning.

I mean, they can’t be that fucking stupid to think Mueller & the FBI were going to knuckle under like some NYC Building Inspector or your anonymous adult film star.

Can they ? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

So Dear Leader cancels his trip to Peru and Colombia (I’m sure the Latin Americans are devastated) to “oversee the American response to Syria and monitor developments around the world.” Translation: Donny is so out of control over the Cohen raids and new investigation of his Foundation that we don’t dare let him out in public, much less in another country.

The Don better hope the A/C privilege is in tact otherwise he will be on the express to the crossbar hotel.

Remora with a law “degree”.

I’ll leave you with Wikipedia’s charming scientific update,

And to think, he was doing a happy dance last week because he was a “subject” and not a “target”. That seems so long ago now…

The most interesting question is that raised by @mattinpa and @brooklyndweller. Will Cohen try to cop a plea? It’s been argued persuasively (to me anyway) that Manafort has refused to plead because he is more afraid of death by Russian hands than he is of prison. But I don’t think Cohen faces the same risk of being offed by Russia. I doubt he is so “loyal” to Cadet Bonespur that he would literally take a bullet, or a cup of poisoned tea, for him.

Like the stacks of folders on that table at his first press conference to prove he severed all ties with his businesses.

Hopefully it’s going to be so brief that the presidential library is going to fit on an IKEA Billy shelf

Well, Cohen did say he’d take a bullet

I’m the guy who stops the leaks. I’m the guy who protects the president and the family. I’m the guy who would take a bullet for the president

But I think the only way Cohen would take a bullet is if Trump used him as a shield.

Why would any idiot think that there is any confidentiality between a Russian Mafia hood and his Russian Mafia lawyer?

If there are decades of evidence proving moneylaundering and building trades fraud/extortion, a federal judge has a duty according to our Constitution to issue a warrant to the police. I’m sure a NY and NJ state warrant will follow.

Donald has been flying way too close to the Russian Mafia Sun God since the 1990s and is now being brought back down to Earth as a criminal subject of interest. Nobody including rich conservative windbags is above the law in this country. Trump will get his day in court to prove all of them wrong. Why is he so worried?

This tweet is going to come back to bite him in the ass. I know that everything has to be about trump, but if he had the tiniest grain of understanding or self-restraint or even self-preservation, he would have fined his outrage to what was happening to his trusted advisor, quite possibly on an unrelated matter. Instead he focused with unusual precision on the notion that the raid was about what he and Cohen did together. Which in turn put the spotlight on that big exception to attorney-client privilege. Guilty knowledge.

If it’s going to contain all of Dotard’s Tweets, it will fill an entire IKEA…

yet we will still have to pay millions for it

So Cohen is still out there, he hasn’t been detained or anything? Meaning he is just sitting in a fetal position in a corner - waiting for the inevitable knock on the door?
