      "Mr. Cohen may have a legal degree," McKay allows, but adds this search is about his private business dealings. This is "far from" the Lynne Stewart case, he continues. More on that case here.https://www.courthousenews.com/trump-team-demands-first-crack-at-seized-michael-cohen-files/ …

      McKay noted that Cohen refused to disclose the third client's name under seal. "If he can't disclose the client name, even to the court under seal..." McKay asks how the government can contest an overbroad claim of privilege.

      "There's nothing improper about the way the search warrants were executed in this case," McKay says, slamming Cohen's Fourth Amendment claim as "frivolous."

      Quoting this line from Cohen's letter about "attacks on the impartiality of the Justice Department and the USAO," McKay notes the irony that I pointed out early. Cohen and Trump both made "inflammatory" attacks on that search, McKay said.https://twitter.com/KlasfeldReports/status/985884366684422144 …

      Adam Klasfeld added,

      This line by Cohen's attorneys is incredible: Cohen argues that "the appointment of a Special Master" will shield against "toxic partisan politics of the day" and "attacks on the impartiality of the Justice Department and the USAO." Who's been making those attacks, I wonder? pic.twitter.com/yDnw0klSVU

      Cohen's other attorney Steve Ryan says the third client is a "publicly prominent individual," and he didn't want the name to be released from the public.

      "We are protecting that persons identity, but not from the court," he claims, if there will be a sealed in camera review. Jargon explanation: In camera = for the judge's eyes alone.

      Judge Wood wants to know the "legal grounds" for withholding the client's name. After commenting on Cohen's responsibilities, Ryan says: "I'm simply trying to protect the privacy of that individual." An attorney for the press objects, notes that the public also has a right.

      That attorney's name is Robert Balin, who reads a citation indicating that a client's fear of guilt by association is not enough to prevent disclosure. The reason this is so, Balin says, is, "So that We the People, and the press, can monitor our institutions."

      Balin's citation sounds like Vignelli, but I'll track it down with the transcript later. Crowd-source request: Does that ring a bell to any attorneys?
