I don’t think either Toensing, nor Rudi are particularly good at lawyering. They seem better at bluster.

More like they are not good at keeping their word:

Both Toensing and Giuliani accepted the choice of the special master, who served in the same role for the Michael Cohen investigation in 2018.

But now, Toensing has appealed the ruling which denied her the right to review materials taken from her pursuant to the search warrants.

This looks similar to Flynn’s attempt at taking back his guilty plea deal after the fact.

To be fair to Teonsing, perhaps she has records on there that she needs having to do with legitimate legal work for clients that is privileged? The big question is whether or not there is a reasonable assertion to be made that evidence on the phone is pertinent to whatever investigation(s) are underway really. Certainly a judge has already approved the search warrant so there is that already on the record as to the pertinence of the phone in the investigation(s) by the DOJ, etc. It’ll be interesting to see what happens on appeal, although changes are, the warrant will stand, and the info will not be made immediately available to her…one assumes.

“Prosecutors accused Toensing and Giuliani of trying to use their status as lawyers to argue that they were immune from criminal investigation.”

Oh, I see – Toensing and Giuliani, as lawyers, are immune from DOJ phone searches.

BUT MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE – ALSO LAWYERS – ARE NOT.

Got it.

Ultimately won’t be enough for the Minions.

The Minions (no matter how they appease Trump) are much more vulnerable.

She is not the first attorney to receive such a subpoena. There is a process for review for possible privilege issues and it’s not done by the target of the subpoena. As prose utors she and Rudy would have laughed at such a request.

Kristen Clark-head of the Civil Rights Division. What is they say about how many white men you need to equal a black woman’s capability?

Yep. The point is not that she thinks she’s going to actually win on this, she is going for the optics and propaganda effect for the ignorant MAGAts and will plead that she is being unfairly treated (yada yada yada)…

I would be loathe to hire an attorney who stored my sensitive legal documents on a cell phone.
