Hard Drive Tied to Wasserman Schultz Is Central To Imran Awan Case
Daily Caller, Nov 29, 2017, Luke Rosiak

A court date for a former Democratic IT aide has been postponed by more than a month after the defendant’s attorney, a former Hillary Clinton aide, said he’s seeking to block prosecutors from using evidence that appears to include a government laptop tied to Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

“The government has been in discussions with counsel for the defendants regarding complex discovery issues and other legal issues in this case, in particular issues surrounding claims of attorney-client privilege being raised by defendant Imran Awan,” court papers filed Tuesday say.

It is unclear how the handwritten note saying “attorney client privilege” could be construed to cover a hard drive, rather than the pages of notebook it was contained on.

I'm not an attorney, but wouldn't the conversations and correspondence about the hard drive be covered under "attorney client privilege" and not the hard drive itself?
