Michael Cohen's mystery third client is Sean Hannity
« on: April 16, 2018, 07:07:12 pm »
President Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen disclosed in court today that the third client who had requested to remain unnamed was Fox News' Sean Hannity. 

A federal judge ordered the disclosure.

Cohen is the longtime personal lawyer for President Trump. He also facilitated a payment plan totaling $1.6 million last year to a former Playboy model who says she became pregnant by Elliott Broidy, a leading GOP fundraiser, a source tells CNN.

Cohen's attorney had said there was a third client, who wanted to remain anonymous, but a judge this afternoon ordered the name of that client disclosed.

Just saw that on the news.  Word was those in the court room were briefly stunned to hear the name.  News reporters then headed outside to tell this.

There is an irony to this that defies description.

It would be interesting to hear if he performed the same 'service' as he did his other two famous clients.

What possible public interest was served by this being made public?  I don't understand how the judge felt this was justified?

Is this how our legal system protects peoples' rights now?

Hannity is deprived of his confidential relationship with his attorney?

@Sanguine

It was the judge that forced Cohen's lawyer to give him the name out in the court.  The lawyer wanted to put the name in an envelope and hand it to the judge and the judge said no, speak it out loud.

FWIW the judge is Kimba Wood.

Sadly we can't blame this on a Dem president for appointing her.  Reagan appointed her in 1988 on the recommendation of Al D'Amato.

Interesting note to her career she was one of two females Bill Clinton tried to nominate for Attorney General (the other being Zoe Baird) who had to recuse themselves from being nominated because they didn't pay income taxes on their nanny.

I'm sure that Shemp is giggling like a school girl about this.

Quote
Shepard Smith just said Sean "Hannity's producers are working to contact him" after word broke that the Fox News host is Michael Cohen's mystery third client.

"For us, the elephant in the room is that Sean Hannity is said to have been a third client of Michael Cohen," Smith said. "Hannity's producers are working to contact him" and, "We'll report on it when we know the rest of it."

Hannity discussing this now..he has never hired, retained or paid Cohen for legal services.

He has asked him for his legal opinion on some matters.....never re any third party

Don't get it at all. My response is, 'So What?' So he did some legal work for Hannity. I don't care.

I wonder if Hannity has a way to sue over this obvious breach of confidentiality. It is hard to believe that this behavior will be tolerated in the legal profession. It would change everything if lawyer-client confidentiality is no longer applicable. Where is the ACLU?

Hannity is a very public figure. He would need to demonstrate damages, however great or small.

It would be a nice point to make. But do federal judges, get sued often?

It would probably not have been an issue or even a "gotcha" had Hannity been up front about his relationship with Cohen before he started railing against the raid on Cohen's office and other things related to the Mueller investigation that Sean has gone on a tirade about.

I believe the proper term that should have been used was "In the interest of full disclosure..."

That would have killed it right there and Sean could have gone on being Sean.

But he didn't do that and now he'll have to put on his big boy pants and endure the media feeding frenzy that has begun over this.

I have no idea. If Cohen had 50 clients would he have to name them all, in public, in the courtroom? Would Mueller be allowed to see everything concerning all 50 clients?

How is attorney-client privilege not severely violated here?

Were legal services rendered to Hannity? And if so the lawyer just worked for free?

That doesn't smell right.

If Hannity only used Cohen as an unpaid consultant on background for legal issues he addressed on his radio and/or TV show is he truly a client?
