It sounds like Trump is going to need a lawyer to protect himself from his other lawyer

Question for Ivy,
Does Trumps new legal team get to see all the stuff that was confiscated in the raid..?

This shit is so stupid, childish and political that somebody needs to be taught a lesson. Trump hasnt done one thing as President that is worth an investigation. When he does then have one.......until then shut up or die

The answer to your question is yes. If communications between Cohen and Trump are privileged, that privilege extends to Trump’s new lawyers.Chizzang wrote:Um...

That attitude just doesn't fly. Suppose, for instance, we found out that Trump's campaign was in on the hacking of the Democrats' e mails and cooperated with Russia to do it. And suppose we found out that Trump was aware of it and actually directed that it be done.ALPHAGRIZ1 wrote:Trump needs to hire 100 mercenaries and kill everyone that comes after him.

"Clearly trying to impede investigations" Kind of like having your own email server? Or are you naive enough to think that was just an honest mistake too?JohnStOnge wrote:That attitude just doesn't fly.

I don't think that happened. But the idea that the only thing that matters is whether Trump has done anything to merit investigation since he's been President is pretty bad.
BTW I think one might argue that he's done things as President that merit investigation and/or consideration with respect to the obstruction of justice issue anyway. He is clearly trying to impede investigations. But that's another issue.

What I think is that having a private e mail server was stupid as well as unethical but kind of in a grey area at the time. Trump is expressing a clear intent to impede investigations. It's right out front and in the open.UNI88 wrote:"Clearly trying to impede investigations" Kind of like having your own email server?

No, John. You've been told numerous times by people in the field... heck, you've been told by someone with a state.gov email address and up to SCI clearance that it is not nor was it ever a gray area.JohnStOnge wrote:What I think is that having a private e mail server was stupid as well as unethical but kind of in a grey area at the time.

What you think is completely subjective and in my opinion (as someone who dislikes both Trump & Hillary) extremely biased. They're both stinky shit and you're arging that Hillary doesn't smell too bad. It's a losing argument.JohnStOnge wrote:What I think is that having a private e mail server was stupid but kind of in a grey area at the time.

Can I ask if you were so quick to point out all the instances of "but Bush" during the previous 8 years? It's a common occurrence and John's insistence on pointing out Trump's many faults while denying his obtuseness to Hillary's makes it kind of fun. What kind of angle is more than 90 and less than 180 degrees? A JSO angle.Chizzang wrote:Like Clockwork...

You are aware of what has to happen for an attorney's office to get raided right..?css75 wrote:When they raided Cohen’s office, they effectively killed attorney and client privilege. This crap has to stop. The country is heading down a dark road that could lead to people disappearing at night.

Yep. Time to return to the sexy topic of attorney-client privilege.Chizzang wrote:Like Clockwork...

A grey area? Owning and using your own server for email communications when you're the SecofState is not a grey area. It's downright stupid, reckless and only an idiot would think it was a good idea. Tell me, what's the upside not using the infrastructure provided by the DoS?JohnStOnge wrote:What I think is that having a private e mail server was stupid as well as unethical but kind of in a grey area at the time.
