I heard somebody this morning say that this could cause Cohen to lose his law license? -- nm - Strongbad Jul 20, 09:23 4
- That seems likely, yes. But at this point it’s about him staying out of jail. I think he’s done as an attorney. -- nm - Mop Jul 20, 09:27

- secretly taping a client? I would think so. -- nm - groiny Jul 20, 09:23 1
  - I have no clue. Just something I heard this AM. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 20, 09:24
Aside from the "presidential candidate paying off porn stars" angle - the thought is that he used campaign money for these payouts. nm - Johnny Lawrence Jul 20, 09:15 13
- OK, thanks. The potential use of campaign money is of course an issue. - Marlowe Jul 20, 09:19
- I would think he had plenty of personal money to do this. - groiny Jul 20, 09:16 11
  - He's a cheap bastard. It's been shown time and time again. He doesn't pay his contractors, manufactured all his merchandise overseas while railing - pmb Jul 20, 09:29

  - Yes and no. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 20, 09:19
  - You’d think. - znufrii Jul 20, 09:19 6
    - We already saw he used Trump Foundation money to pay for a Marlago lawsuit. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 20, 09:20 5
      - He apparently also used it to pay for his kids boy scout registration. -- nm - pmb Jul 20, 09:26 2
        
        They failed pretty spectacularly at being morally straight. So money poorly spent. -- nm - TWuG Jul 20, 09:29

      - Perfect illustration, right there. -- nm - znufrii Jul 20, 09:21 1
        
        I guess when your name is on it, you can do whatever you want. -- nm - groiny Jul 20, 09:22
  - except that he never uses his own money when someone else's is available. -- nm - Andie Jul 20, 09:18
It depends what he said on the tape. But the fact that he was being secretly recorded raises the serious spectre that he was saying incriminating - pmb Jul 20, 09:14 2
- Wouldn't the conversations be privileged? - TWuG Jul 20, 09:27 1
  - Per Dawson above, doesn't look like NY is. Whether it's privileged depends on what's on the tapes. They have a system for having an administrative - pmb Jul 20, 09:33
