      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

          What is unprecedented is that the personal attorney of the President was involved in a felony criminal conspiracy, and used his phone and computer in furtherance of that criminal conspiracy, when he was not committing direct crimes of his own.

          It is like nothing unprecedented happen since Trump is Potus. If that is the best line they can come with...respect the guy, he is the president lawyer, treat him better than any other citizen. Can't think of a single judge enjoying such argument.

          When do you think we'll get a ruling? I assume Judge Wood will want to fully defend her position with a written opinion.

          Having probable cause to believe the President’s attorney committed crimes is also unprecedented.

          What they neglect to mention, I suppose, is the *unprecedented* corruption of said Prez. and the many way's he's clearly violated the law in public. 😜😄

          Uh maybe the president shouldn't have a lawyer that hasn't engaged in (alleged) criminal activity or ya know not (allegedly) be one himself.

          It seems an important point to me. DJT is a private citizen like everyone else, but POTUS is a unique constitutionally protected office regardless of who occupies it. It’s a totally appropriate argument for MC, DJT, and POTUS lawyers to make.

          Especially if, as the letter seems to suggest, it is info regarding this 3rd client, and not DJT that is the actual target of the warrant.
