Witch Hunt

President Trump took to twitter this morning, surprising no one to express his unhappiness with the legal raid conducted on his long time personal attorney Michael Cohen’s office and hotel room, you can find more on that story here, Cohen Raided

Now on with the Tweets:

Attorney–client privilege is dead!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 10, 2018

Is It?

Doubtful according to a NBC story which you can read here, NBC

“It is not enough for the government to just show that these privileged communications between Cohen and a client might provide evidence of a crime. Rather, the communication itself must have been in furtherance of, and intended to facilitate the crime, in order to strip these communications of the protections of privilege.”

President Trump did receive some push back from ‘attorneys’ on twitter,

There are special requirements for authorizing a search warrant of an attorney's office. Both the Assistant AG for the Criminal Division & the Deputy AG signed off on this one, possibly signaling a crime-fraud exception to the usual privilege for attorney-client communications. https://t.co/lTzP2Fmp5W
