I'm gooder.
I don't believe there are any rules around number of clients for attorney client privilege. But I could be wrong.
But Trump is certainly wrong about what constitutes attorney client privilege. As Comey iterated, he acts like a Mob boss and IMO a mob boss in the movies especially.

I mean, it's not like there's any possible problem with the information between Trump and Cohen right? I mean, no possibility of incriminating evidence, so why should he worry? lol

Yes, an attorney can have only one client and maintain privilege. That's not unusual or unethical. If the attorney is doing work for Trump that is pure business and not legal related then the privilege is lost (well, never existed) for those business documents. You can't hide information simply by calling it attorney work product. It's not the relationship between Cohen and Trump that matters, really. It's the nature of each individual document. You can check out the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct Rule 1.6: Confidentiality of Information, particularly the comments on the rule, if you want more specific information about how that is determined. https://www.americanbar.org/groups/p...formation.html
The way this raid works is also standard and well documented. The team that is doing the raiding is not the same team that would be bringing suit against Trump and his lawyer. They bring in legal professionals that are not affiliated with the case; this team comes in and takes the documents and determines what is privileged attorney work product. If it is privileged, it gets returned and is not turned over to the prosecutor. If it's not, it can be used as evidence in this action.

So Cohen's other client is Hannity.

Spotted in my YouTube suggested channels. What does this thumbnail say to you and what does it say about Fox News?

I don't think I get it ... they have a boner for Trump (and much more so than they did for W), is that it?
