Cohen really isn't a lawyer .... today is gonna be real bad for him [View all]

Last edited Mon Apr 16, 2018, 01:11 PM - Edit history (1)

On Friday, the 13th of April 2018, Mr Cohen’s attorney went to court to argue for a “temporary restraining order” (TRO) to keep the Feds from reviewing the material collected during the FBI raid on the basis that much of what the FBI has, deals with the issue of attorney-client privilege.

The Southern District Court of New York prosecutors were ready with their argument that Michael Cohen hasn’t been practicing law in ages but he has been acting more like a consigliere.

Whereupon, U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood asked Mr. Cohen’s attorney to name one of his clients which he couldn’t do. Then Judge Wood ordered that the attorney return with his client, Michael Cohen in tow, ready to answer some questions on the 16th of April 2018.

The feds attached the proper statute to each search warrant.
