TPM wrote:Michael Cohen’s attorney revealed in open court Monday that Sean Hannity is the mystery third client Cohen alluded to in previous court filings, according to reporters live-tweeting the proceedings.
U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood ruled during the hearing that Cohen must disclose the client’s identity. The revelation came in a hearing on Cohen’s efforts to halt the government’s review of documents seized from his office, residence and hotel room so that Cohen or an independent third party can sort out records falling under attorney-client privilege first.
In a letter Sunday night, Cohen’s attorneys claimed that Cohen had been engaged in “traditional legal tasks” with at least three clients in 2017 through 2018. The letter named President Donald Trump, who has already sought to get involved in the current dispute over the seized documents, and Elliot Broidy, a GOP fundraiser for whom Cohen arranged a hush payment for a Playboy model he impregnated, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Cohen resisted naming the third client, citing his client’s preference that his identity not be made public.
Prosecutors have argued that they should be allowed to move forward through the Justice Department’s typical process in which the government handles documents seized from attorneys. Under that process, a special team of DOJ lawyers not involved in the investigation, sort out any documents that fall under attorney-client privilege. Prosecutors, in the Cohen dispute, have argued that their investigation focuses on his business dealing and that Cohen appears to have been engaged in little traditional legal work anyway.
At the hearing Monday, Cohen’s lawyers floated disclosing the third client to the judge privately under seal, according to the reporters live-tweeting it, but Judge Wood said that they had not met the threshold for the client’s name to remain hidden from the public.

Re: Sean Hannity Revealed To Be Michael Cohen’s Mystery Clie
I have only read the link you posted for our benefit on this subject. How do you call that a 'hush' payment? As far as the article goes, he was giving the woman support for the pregnancy. Was there anything about non-disclosure there? If not, either you are mischaracterizing it out of ignorance (no surprise there), or the report you are quoting is engaging in 'fake news'. And continuing to make sure the word 'Playboy' is there to describe the woman involved is pretty tabloidy.Cohen arranged a hush payment for a Playboy model he impregnated

I'm not sure which source BJ quoted, but here's one from Reuters:flockofseagulls104 wrote:I have only read the link you posted for our benefit on this subject. How do you call that a 'hush' payment?

Sounds like hush money to me.U.S. President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer arranged for a $1.6 million payment to a Playboy Playmate to keep secret her sexual relationship with Republican fundraiser and Trump ally Elliott Broidy, during which she became pregnant, a person familiar with the matter said on Friday.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa- ... SKBN1HK2LB
As with the Stormy Daniels payment, what matters is where the money came from and how it was reported. There could be some criminal violations here, and Cohen would be right in the middle of them.

Re: Sean Hannity Revealed To Be Michael Cohen’s Mystery Clie
I always thought that Jared Kushner would be the weak link in Trump's inner circle who would, one way or another, bring down the whole house of cards.
Now it appears that Michael Cohen is the gift that keeps on giving.
And a question for Flock, who is real big on journalistic integrity. Why hasn't Sean Hannity mentioned the fact that Cohen is his lawyer during any of his many tirades about the unfair way that Mueller is treating Cohen? Responsible journalism dictates that reporters mention anything that might put a slant on the story, such as a relationship with the subject of the story.

I was going to comment on this a few days ago, when one of the usual suspects made some such comment about Republicans, as if they're all the same. I could not let such an assholy statement go unresponded to today.
