Source: OTHERWISE: How the justice department will protect attorney-client privileged documents in U.S.A. v. Michael Cohen

The furious tweets of Donald Trump that attorney client privilege is dead are repeated in the restrained language of his lawyers’ memorandum.

 As usual the best source of information is the primary source: the United States Department of Justice, whose memorandum (excerpted in the post above) explains how any documents protected by attorney client privilege will be handled.  In essence the process is to determine if documents seized  contain communications between attorney and client which relate to the representation. Confidentiality is protected – unless the communication is evidence of the attorney’s participation in a crime – in which case a judge’s review till be sought.  – gwc
