Jan 2017: Here's Michael Cohen & Hannity discussing his role

Here's Michael Cohen & Hannity discussing Cohen's role, after Trump takes office.

Cohen's statements (just a few statements) are at 1:30. Note the ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGE comments at about 3:00.



A strange comment for Hannity to make, to bring up atty-client privilege. Seems as if he's acknowledging that that's why Cohen will not be working for the admin. So they can keep him as an attorney-client privileged person. Hannity and Trump are close. I'd bet that Hannity knows exactly the nature of Cohen's "business dealings" for Trump, and that Trump is a criminal and Russian collaborator.

2. The first thing Insanity asked Cohen was if he would still have Att/client privileges.

so that the atty-client privilege could be used. Ironic that they used Cohen to stash their secrets, and the unique arrangements with Cohen results in there not being any atty-client privilege. No wonder Trump is nervous.

But I wouldn't misunderestimate Trump. He's like a mob boss. He's the king and doesn't acknowledge defeat.
