so is he a client or not. Did he represent him in a case? or does he just give advice for money? I can see where "client" is a loose term here.

but either way I don't see any significance here.

Based on limited info, they were probably being overly transparent in naming anyone with whom there could possibly be an expectation of privilege. Is everyone saying that simply consulting with an attorney in a professional capacity is absolutely not privileged?

This could be just semantical differences between Hannity and Cohen/his attorney.

Hannity tweeted that he was not. Then he said on his show that he had sought legal advice and that the communications with Cohen were protected.

Here is my take.

Sean: Oh, shite! My wife is going to think I boffed a porn star! Better make clear he wasn't my attorney. *tweets*

Sean's Secretary: Sean, your real lawyers are on the phone.

Real Lawyer: Are you a complete idiot? If he isn't your lawyer, anything he recorded in your conversation will come up. Say on your show that you were seeking legal advice and that your conversations were privileged!

And that is exactly what he did.
