    Goodie. This is the advice Trump has been mainlining all day. I bet no one told him 4A is not transitive either.https://twitter.com/kenbensinger/status/983756034354249728 …

    Alan Dershowitz on @KPCC says Cohen raid violates 4th, 5th, and 6th amendments and that Cohen should sue the DoJ. "Government agents should never see privileged material," he said.

        Can you elaborate on the transitive part?

        My word. Trump can't claim that his 4A rights if anything untoward happened w/Cohen's.

        As a lawyer I would put it like this: Trump has no standing to assert a violation of someone else’s rights.

        You’re welcome. And BTW, no decent, self-respecting lawyer would ever say what AD said. There is no evidence-none-that Cohen’s rights were violated. And to suggest they were, at the hands of the FBI, is disgraceful. And any competent litigator knows that no privilege is absolute.

        Dershowitz is pulling out the same tactics he used to get on the OJ defense team.

        What is wrong with Alan Dershowitz? Was his previous reputation as a very good lawyer just nonsense? I don’t see how he can be saying such patently inaccurate advice. Mystifying.

        This guy is just demented at this point. So it violated all that yet got DoJ approval (from his own appointee, Rosenstein) and a judge somehow missed that too in approving it? Riiiiiiiight.....

        I am shocked that Professor Dershowitz would fail to note the crime fraud exception. Must have slipped his mind.

        Why bother telling him? That just leads to another five minutes of having to explain the word 'transitive'.

        How on earth can Dershowitz say any of that, not knowing the facts of the case against Cohen? Particularly as it concerns the sixth amendment?
