      As speculation about Michael Cohen reaches a fever pitch, Judge Kimba Wood reminds everyone that Cohen, Trump, and the Trump Org are on the hook for half of the special master's expenses: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4511181-Cohen-v-USA-Order-on-Expenses-061318.html …pic.twitter.com/hVWGjGqgyf

      And, yes, I've been paying attention to the Cohen stories: 1. https://abcnews.go.com/US/trump-lawyer-michael-cohen-cooperate-attorneys-leave-case/story?id=55861988 … 2. https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-lawyer-michael-cohens-attorneys-expected-to-quit-his-case-1528903379 … 3. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/13/nyregion/michael-cohen-investigation-lawyers-trump.html … Everyone appears to agree that Steve Ryan and Todd Harrison and the rest of McDermott Will & Emery are done after the doc review.

      None of the lawyers in the New York matter are making public statements, though, and there's nothing on the docket. In terms of the cooperation talk, it reads to me like a lot of background message-sending is going on with these stories.

      FWIW, Brent Blakely, Cohen's lawyer in the two Stormy Daniels lawsuits in California, tells me that nothing has changed in his representation of Cohen on those cases.

      1) add this to your summary: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/crime-courts/trump-lawyer-michael-cohen-expected-split-his-attorneys-n882751 … 2) Why would Ryan and Harrison have to file notice in any case. That docket only covers the privilege review.

      Because Friday's deadline — if that's when they're done, as multiple reports say — doesn't finish that matter. The next phase is whether Cohen objects to any of Jones's privilege recommendations, right?

      Ah, I wasn't clear that meant they were leaving after Friday. Given that it's Trump's privilege, what would happen if Cohen just let him argue it?

      Haha. Then who is going to argue for Broidy?

      Thus far there are just 3 hard copy documents in question.

          I think she said there are three sets of privilege docs which presumably relate to Trump, Broidy and Hannity. If there is something bad about Trump hiding in the Broidy materials, well...

          Cohen has said he had 3 clients; not clear Hannity would be recognized as one by the court (and assuming Broidy was repping his own abortion and not fronting for Trump's). But an initial report suggested there are only 3 documents in question.

          Of those, the special master found 162 are considered privileged or partially privileged. Another seven items were deemed “highly personal.”http://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/390662-review-of-cohen-documents-finds-small-number-of-privileged-items …

          also: President Donald Trump, his longtime lawyer Michael Cohen, and the Trump Organization have so far claimed as privileged just 252 documents seized last monthhttp://www.businessinsider.com/michael-cohen-trump-claim-minuscule-amount-of-documents-privileged-2018-5 …

          You’re missing the point: The only dispute from the Cohen end will be over which of those Jones does not agree are privileged or thinks are potentially subject to the crime-fraud exception.

          right. my point is that Trump as intervenor can argue wrt privilege classification of his docs. Hannity has said he wont argue wrt his docs. so that leaves open the question about who would/could argue Broidy docs if not Cohen.
