Clown car. I guess Cohen wasn’t interested in producing documents/communication or answering interrogatories. Oopsie.

Lol. Cohen was in Prague. The dossier is all true...

Nowhere does that article say that.

It doesn’t need to. Judges don’t like lawsuits brought in bad faith.

He’s dropping the lawsuit for defamation against the entities behind the publication of the dossier that said he was in Prague.

Cohen in 2016: You can’t prove I was in Prague paying off Russians

Cohen 10 days after his office was raided. Never mind. My lawyer learned about Rule 11 in law school. Even if I missed that class.

Here is what Cohen does not need right now: Rule 11 sanctions. Also— discovery. Since truth is an absolute defense to libel, her is SOL.

Every Trump aide/pundit/spokesman that speculates Michael Cohen is going to flip on Trump is basically admitting that Trump is guilty of something.

discovery is moot as his office is now in boxes sitting at the fbi.

Interesting. Alan Futerfas has intervened on behalf of the Trump Organization in this Cohen legal matter.

http://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/383811-new-york-seeks-authority-to-prosecute-despite-presidential-pardons

New York's existing law states that if an individual pleads guilty or is convicted of a federal crime and then is pardoned by the president, prosecutors cannot bring charges for violating state laws because of a double-jeopardy rule that stipulates a person cannot be tried for the same crime twice.

Schneiderman wrote to Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) and leaders of the state legislature to argued that as a result of the current policy, a "strategically-timed pardon" could protect individuals who have violated New York state laws.

As a result, Schneiderman is asking that state lawmakers change the New York statute so that double-jeopardy protections do not apply to cases involving presidential pardons.

Maybe NY should go first .

Good point.

I hope Schneiderman's ready -- NOW.

Q about client #3/Hannity.
I have no horse in this race, but I have a solid question...

What is yet source material (as close as we are able to see) of a mention of client 3.

What I know:
It’s in material related to Cohen’s criminal investigation, and this info was released by Judge Kimba Wood.
Hannity is saying he isn’t a client.
But there is a client #3 X’d out and then Judge Wood reveals the name. And Hannity goes, he’s not my lawyer but he’s a longtime friend. (So maybe Hannity is full of BS, maybe not.—he probably is)

again, my big question is I’d like to know more about the context in which the words, ‘client 3’ appears.

And again, I’m not pushing for an answer either way. There’s just some missing link in how this is all being presented.

Cohen's attorney presented Judge Wood with Hannity as "client 3"

It isn't any more complicated than that.
