      Meanwhile, over in court, things aren't going well for Cohen's attorney, Todd Harrison —>https://twitter.com/KlasfeldReports/status/984859887330086913 …

      Chris Geidner added,

      Adam KlasfeldVerified account @KlasfeldReports
      Harrison asserted that there are "thousands" of privileged documents, though he said he doesn't have access to them. Wood: I'm asking the basis for your contention that there are thousands and thousands. Harrison: Discussions among the defense team about the case.

      A skeptical Judge Wood presses Harrison on that claim, skewering him for making such an estimate as "an officer of the court." "I'm going to want to note your basis for that," she said.

      In its filing, gov't explains its ultimate plan for what will happen as the "taint team" finds any potentially privileged documents. (Note: They say they don't expect many b/c it's not "a traditional law office" and lots is non-law.) https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4437270-Cohen-v-US-Govt-Opposition-to-TRO-Request.html#document/p7/a418166 …pic.twitter.com/P5dgIMx2dR

          Prosecutor in Cohen case: “We're now here for the third time today." "They put themselves in this place by filing a TRO...and now they’re delaying the government’s investigation because they can’t come up with the facts to support their motion."

          Judge isn't denying motion now. But she isn't pleased. "If you don't have the answers by 2 p.m. on Monday, I’m likely to discount the argument that there are thousands or more privileged documents," she tells Cohen's attorneys.
