I recommend you all turn on CNN.

If I want to watch fiction I'll watch Lord of the Rings. Why CNN?

The Crime-Fraud Exception to the Attorney-Client Privilege

 

[WorldWatcher]

Knowledge of Illegal activity is not protected under attorney client privilege.

........................................

"The attorney-client privilege is one of the oldest privileges in law. Without such a privilege, clients may not feel compelled to fully and openly communicate with their attorneys. The privilege is not absolute, however, and there are certain exceptions that allow the opposing side access to communications that would normally be protected. One such exception, known as the crime-fraud exception, involves communications in furtherance of a contemplated or ongoing crime or fraud."

So DJT was colluding to win after he won? Oh....

 

[EverCurious]

The investigation into Cohen is separate from Mueller's investigation. Don't loose your wads too early kids...

~yawn~

Cohen knows all of Trumpy’s criminal activity.

If true, he is bound by attorney client privilege that can only be broken with consent from Trump. If it is broken otherwise it’s illegal and cannot be used in a court of law and any evidence obtained by it is tainted and likewise illegal

Knowledge of Illegal activity is not protected under attorney client privilege.

so why don't prosecutors call defense lawyers to the stand and ask them what they'd ask the defendant? can't make this shit up.

The Crime-Fraud Exception to the Attorney-Client Privilege

From the article you posted. ....

"Communications about past crimes and frauds are almost always privileged, but communications about ongoing or future ones usually aren’t."

 

[WaitingFor2020]

And?? .....

And he is now a witness for the prosecution.

Witness to what? ....

LOL!
Stay tuned. He's turning himself into the FBI for a felony. Not a parking ticket.

Let's say Trump went to Cohen and asked, "You think it would be alright if I met with some members of the Russian government to get some dirt on Hillary". That statement would not be protected by attorney client privilege, Cohen could be called to testify, and it would be admissible in court.

Every crime is a past crime, pretty much. Crimes committed last week are past crimes.

He reached a deal.


A longtime business partner of Michael D. Cohen, the personal lawyer of President Donald Trump, has pleaded guilty to tax evasion in a deal that allows him to dodge prison time, indicating that he is cooperating with prosecutors.

Evgeny Freidman, a taxi operator who allegedly owed some $5 million in back taxes, entered into the surprise plea deal in Albany on Tuesday.

His lawyer, Patrick Egan, said he was satisfied with the guilty plea. Freidman — the so-called Taxi King of New York who operated taxis for Cohen’s family and others — will serve five years of probation for evading $50,000 in taxes.

Egan declined to comment on whether his client was cooperating with federal prosecutors in Manhattan who are investigating Cohen’s financial dealings.


Skipping out on taxes isn't smart. Especially when you get caught.

You really thing this is just about Cohen's taxes?
He's going to tell the FBI where Trump has buried the bodies....and more.
Remember what Cohen said, dumbass:

President Trump’s Former Lawyer Says He Puts ‘Family and Country’ Before the President

When the FBI raided his house and hotel room, they got a lot more than just taxi medallion crapola.

Some future criminal activity yes.

Past criminal activities heck no!

That would defeat the purpose of attorney client privilege

So what exactly did they get? ...

Past as defined by the moment of the communication and not by today. I just explained a possible scenario that happened in "the past" but would most certainly be exempt from attorney client privilege. Sorry that this is beyond your intelligence level.
