      So, as @nycsouthpaw said earlier, either this is not accurately portraying the relationship, or there are basically no A-C privileged files at issue — which would undermine the argument Cohen's lawyers are trying to make in court.https://twitter.com/seanhannity/status/985970632201564161 …

      Michael Cohen has never represented me in any matter. I never retained him, received an invoice, or paid legal fees. I have occasionally had brief discussions with him about legal questions about which I wanted his input and perspective.

          It appears Mr Cohen had a problem coming up with paying client list to justify attorney client privilege argument after raid. He thought Hannity would lie for him. Problem is if Hannity is client then Hannity has employment problem. Not a client, Cohen perjury problem.
