      Here's what Michael Cohen's lawyers say his law practice has consisted of since leaving the Trump Org in January 2017 and operating as a solo practitioner:pic.twitter.com/1l4ejgDC9Y

      Although those sentences are worded strangely, it would appear Cohen's lawyers are saying that the third person is a legal client to Cohen whose legal matters are responsive to the warrant.

          Cohen's lawyers: "To the extent it bears repeating, federal prosecutors have seized the data and files of the personal attorney of the President of the United States. This is completely unprecedented."

          Cohen's letter seems to misstate what is meant by "special circumstances." It doesn't mean, "Wow, this is wild."It means there are special things about the representation that justify keeping its existence hidden. The letter does nothing to explain that.pic.twitter.com/dnHXM0K3yo

          In the case cited, that lengthy quote is from the court's introduction of the discussion — not its resolution. In the case, it found no protection — and explained how limited the circumstances are when a client's identity can be shielded. https://openjurist.org/992/f2d/449/vingelli-v-united-states …pic.twitter.com/BwcOVRjetT

          Cohen's lawyers corrected a major point in their letter, saying the third — unnamed — client's legal matters are NOT responsive to the warrant. Corrected copy: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4438568-Cohen-v-USA-Cohen-Corrected-041618.html …pic.twitter.com/CXYKbQWvi8

          And since they've been *so* honest so far, we should just believe them? 😜 Hope the judge doesn't go for this.

          And whose identity they request not be made public. This underpins a central concern. The inevitable leaking. The spin cycle. The media's constant and unrelenting mission to kneecap Trump's presidency and ability to govern in a distraction-free environment. It's pathetic.

          Looks like another poor editing job. Sentence only makes sense if it is read as “are not responsive.” Either way, judges love being told by the defendant what they don’t think is relevant.

          Replying to @chrisgeidner

          It seems pretty clear there's a missing "not" between "are" and "responsive." Cohen seems to be arguing there are no grounds for publicly ID'ing this client since the matter would be outside the scope of the search warrant. (blame the Monday morning filing deadline)
