re: Hannity has been named as a client of Cohen

quote:

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.

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.
