Fox host unmasked as Trump lawyer's client

That it is.

I believe Cohen's folks were seeking a restraining order against anyone viewing the seized material. It was denied today, because that right supposedly only applies to a subpoena and not a search warrant. Prior to ruling, the Judge asked for his basis. He told her he had many clients, so she asked for a list of them. His team answered that there were actually only 10, but only named three. POTUS, a RNC contributor named Elliot Broidy, and one they wished not to name. She made them provide the third name. How it got in the public is anyone's guess. It was an open courtroom and many had access, so there was likely a race to the door to leak it. This is based on limited knowledge from various media sources. If I have mistakenly portrayed it, I stand corrected and apologize for any confusion. I'd add that it does not implicate Hannity with anything. With all the firings at Fox over sexual misconduct, he may have just sought advice from Cohen, or most anything.

Maj John Bell - All the more reason I believe folks should stop jumping to conclusions with the piecemeal of information from all these different investigations and cases. I presume to trust a judge to only admit information is pertinent to the case based on privileged information that has been shared between both attorneys and the judge.

Rachel Maddow did a good piece on it this evening. If you don't like Rachel, skip ahead to the 11:00 minute mark where she relates the court transcripts. Of note is the argument from Mr. Balin; an attorney representing the press and public interest.

MSgt Steve Sweeney - Thanks. That is how one should report information. The transcripts are indeed revealing the lack of legal defense by the defense attorneys.

Should the law be used to conceal identities? Why would it be used for that purpose? Why would the fact that Cohen represents Hannity require concealment? To protect him from what... people knowing who his lawyer is? Is that a matter of national security?
