Trump Made a Huge Legal Mistake on Fox & Friends

[brooklynite]

Political Wire (Pay Wall):

President Trump claimed on Fox & Friends this morning that his personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, only represented him in “a tiny, tiny little fraction” of his overall legal work.

Said Trump: “Michael is in business — he’s really a businessman, a fairly big business as I understand it, I don’t know his business but this doesn’t have to do with me. Michael is a businessman. He’s got a business, he also practices law. I would say probably the big thing is his business, and they’re looking at something to do with his business. This doesn’t have to do with me. I have many attorneys — sadly, I have so many attorneys you wouldn’t even believe it.”

The problem is that Trump’s claim that Cohen only deals with a small part of his legal work dramatically complicates his lawyers’ efforts to shield documents seized in FBI raids under the guise of “attorney-client privilege.”

Trump also admitted that Cohen “represented me” in the “crazy Stormy Daniels deal” which undermined both his and Cohen’s claims that it was just Cohen acting on his own.

4. of course, a "tiny, tiny little fraction" of his overall legal work is still a huge amount

i mean 15 lawsuits is a huge amount of work and that's not even a half of one percent
