ya, in a show full of solid characters it figures you'd be enamored with some complete ****ing loser

WaPo picked it up...

Sean Hannity’s idea of ‘attorney-client privilege’ was right out of ‘Breaking Bad’

“The way I see it, someone is going to prison. It’s just a matter of who.”

wife is going to be a trauma surgeon, she's gangster like that

i'll never forget the gleam in her eyes the first day that a patient squirted a fountain of blood on her shoes in the OR

Cpa here

Lots of people can do O'Reily's shouty-guy shtick. Tucker Carlson, for example. What Hannity does is imo really hard to do. That man can endlessly fire off talking points from the top of his head for minutes. I don't know how he manages to breathe.

The Trump Fixer Who Knows Where All The Bodies Are Buried - Daily Beast

Interesting article about Trump's bodyguard Keith Schiller, with some funny lines. If this guy goes down next (after Cohen) or flips, Trump is probably done for.

It will if people start protesting their advertisers and they pull out. That's how they got O'Reilly.

Please let this happen. There are so many movie ideas coming up for directors all over Hollywood because of the Trump fiasco.

JFC this is pathetic.

I forgot to mention that federal courts and state courts will be different.

I cannot stand Jim Comey and want to punch his lying face.

This mother****er is only the least bit sympathetic because he was dumb and failed at his corrupt attempt at self preservation. He's a POS deserving of nothing but scorn and shame.

On a corruption scale of Obama to Trump, Comey ranks about a Debbie Wasserman Schultz. ****ty, but could be a lot worse.

I think Avanti's take on the Cohen-Hannity relationship is the right one.

Hannity was never a client of Cohen, but there is some document or recorded conversation about non-legal issues that makes them/Trump look bad (something like Hannity and Trump coordinating coverage) that they don't want to get out. By claiming Hannity was a client, the hope is that the document will be withheld as privileged.

This also explains why Cohen's team wants to do the privilege screen themselves. It's pretty easy to withhold a communication with a client, even if it's not about legal issues when you are the only one reviewing - only way the document would be discovered is if the DOJ challenges the specific document and then judge reviews it and determines not privileged. However, if taint team does the review, they would be able to tell it is about a non-legal matter.

I'm also on #TeamPhD, but I was prelaw in college.

I watched My Cousin Vinny last night, it was surprisingly educational as far as legal procedure goes.

Real estate, but also lawyer

By the way possibly no profession other than car dealer has a bigger percentage of insufferable deplorables than commercial real estate

Almost all criminal law professors cite it as the best legal film.

What else were you supposed to do with a **** gpa and no work experience?

Michael Avanatti and Tim O'Brien (author of Trumpnation: the art of the Donald) both said last night on Lawrence O'Donnells show that they expect Cohen to be charged within 90 days, and facing possible decades in prison he will flip on Trump. That would be pretty incredible imo.

Side note: it's amazing how Avanatti has positioned himself to have a prominent spot on the political shows covering everything Cohen/Trump.

Trying to understand Hannity's take on the matter. He's never paid Cohen, isn't being represented by him in any legal matters, not really a client in the classic sense. But he still wants attorney-client privilege? Is that it?

This is what I said this morning to lk
