CNN: Michael Cohen in talks to plead guilty to criminal charges

[Winston]

Again, "past" does not mean before today, it means before the time of the communication. The exception also applies to ONGOING criminal activity.

sorry friend yesterday is in the past. just saying you got a screw missing.

Another one who is commenting on something beyond their comprehension. Look at the example I provided. Hell, my ten year old grandson could understand it. Basically your claim is that if, yesterday, a client told his attorney that he was going to kill his wife that evening, the statement would be protected by attorney client privilege because it was made yesterday. That is STUPID.

are you trying to say that the lawyer has a responsibility to turn his client in in that scenario?

Why yes, yes I am. Are you so dimwitted that you think the lawyer has an obligation to let the wife get killed? I mean I know most people think lawyers are low life scum but there are limits. The protection of a life is the most critical exception to attorney client privilege.

no one has an obligation. everyone with morals would, but obligated nope. dude, a high school girl just got away with assisting her boyfriend in killing himself. she didn't call the police. so there is absolutely no obligation for any human. come on man!

You mean this one, who was found guilty.

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."

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.

Meeting with Russians to get dirt on Hillary isn't a crime.

And?? .....

And the door opens for all of Trumps dirty deeds

Seems to me Hitlery has all kinds of dirty deed. She, the DNC, Steele and Fusion.

Of course its not a crime. But it is a dirty deed. LOL

And Cohen deals on Trump.

Trump basers getting all trembly and twittery, waiting for guidance from Boss Tweet.

Go back and play with your pet rock.

Oh they all think Cohen will implicate Trump in the Russian hack.

His deal was his own criminal deal. Nothing to do with Trump.

Of course they are all pissing up a rope.

So if I decide to shop in the North Port, Fl Walmart, lots of Russians there, and I strike up a conversation with a stranger who speaks with an accent. I should ask the person if they are an agent of the Russian government because I have to report it?

 

[OldLady]

And?? .....

And he is now a witness for the prosecution.

Am I missing something? The NYT says he's pled guilty, but is NOT cooperating with federal authorities.

a deal that does not include cooperation with federal authorities, two people familiar with the matter said...
The charges against Mr. Cohen were not a surprise, but he had signaled recently he might be willing to cooperate with investigators who for months have been conducting an extensive investigation of his business dealings. But any bid to negotiate a plea deal under which he would provide information to federal prosecutors in Manhattan in the hopes of a lesser sentence appears to have broken down.

So can we do that with potentially illegal aliens too? I mean businesses are actually forbidden from asking if a potential employee is a legal citizen...

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.

Turbo Tax Timmie became Secretary of the Treasury by cheating on his taxes.

Cohen was retained to be Trump's personal lawyer and paid one million dollars per year for his services.

Doesn't sound like Trump treated him too shabbily. ...
