      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

          Also if you're referencing Leonardo da Vinci and a "paucity of case law" in support of your position, you've already lost, you know it, and you're just filing for the sake of appearances

          what it tells you is the lawyer is trying to make the best of a terrible situation. if this is the best a former prosecutor can put forth, trump and cohen are super screwed

          What the letter later suggests -- that the special circumstances are simply that Cohen is the President's lawyer -- should, if anything, cut in favor rather than against disclosure of his client list.

          Why would Cohen being Trump’s lawyer mean Cohen can’t disclose who his OTHER clients are? It’s a lol argument
