    Oh good. Then Cohen provided advice for coverage attacking Russian hack narrative?https://twitter.com/KyungLahCNN/status/985963940965302272 …

    From CNN's @GloriaBorger: From source familiar with legal relationship between Cohen and Hannity - Hannity did not get billed, there was no formal attorney client relationship, called from time to time and got input from Cohen on legal issues.

        Seems to me Cohen could have been an intermediary so transmission of talking points back and forth would be covered by atty-client privilege.

        Hannity's own statement was that he sought legal advice from Cohen. Billed or not, that is by definition a formal attorney client relationship. Furthermore, there could have been in-kind payment in lieu of cash, like propaganda.

        Pretty cowardly for Hannity to rant over the last week about how unfair he thought the raid was on Trump attorney Cohen's office and home, without disclosing that he is also a clients of Cohen's.

        If Hannity's not a client then why have to disclose their relationship? Hmm.

        Hannity as the client did not wanted to be named.

        Right, but if Hannity is now alleging no formal relationship, is he a "client?" Did Cohen reach to add a client to his list that makes a decent red herring? Or is there a legitimate relationship there and Hannity is downplaying it?

        Replying to @jayedcoins @emptywheel

        Cohen was in front of a judge so Hannity was a client. Hannity knew that Cohen listed him as a client and stressed he wanted his name kept secret NOT that he wasn't a client.
