        Effectively, Trump's lawyers have on-upped Cohen's ridiculous claim that after not cooperating in several investigations he should get first review. Now Trump wants BOTH of them to.

        Trump's lawyers have also laid out the groundwork to claim Cohen inappropriately shared stuff w/o Trump's permission.

        Question: Does someone have to remind POTUS everyday that the use of a "taint team" is not related to the pee pee tape specifically? https://twitter.com/kadhimshubber/status/985685257553838082 …

        You know what? People who think this is about the pee tape, or that that would be the most compromising thing RU might have on Trump, are really tedious.

        They are going to have a hell of a time convincing the Court of that, especially considering they are representing Trump in his personal capacity, and not, despite their misleading language to the contrary, "the President."

        How can an investigation's target legally usurp & undermine a lawful, predetermined, standard investigative process over materials collected lawfully under multiple warrants?

        As you have previously and correctly pointed out, Cohen in particular is likely a concern for destroying evidence -- thus the no knock warrants. I bet 45 and Cohen only get copies at the same time as the taint team's look through. That is, I predict no "first bite" for 45.

        So, in #6 they are asking for complete override of the taint team on anything they solely decide is privledged. Sure.
