There's a few issues that need to be clarified on this forum regarding the "relationship" between Cohen and Hannity:
1. It was Cohen (no one else) who labeled Sean Hannity a CLIENT
2. Attorney-client privilege does NOT include the divulging of a client's name (as circuit courts have determined.) .......so, the claim that Hannity's name as a "client" should not be known, is invalid.
3. The exchange of money between an attorney and an individual is NOT a requisite to determine that the individual is a client.......For example, pro bono cases do not require payments.....
But, much more damaging to the Cohen-Hannity relationship COULD BE the exchange of legal advice (by Cohen) for the "payment" (by Hannity) in providing good press for Trump on his TV/Radio shows. This would certainly be very hard to prove, but I point it out solely because the relationship between these 2 men should have been openly disclosed much earlier.
