[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cohen argued that the FBI seized documents and communications that were subject to the attorney-client privileged.  His attorney represented to the Court that the materials related to at least three clients, Trump, Broidy and a third client who had refused to allow his identity to be released to the Court.  Judge Wood pointed out that Cohen had miscited cases in arguing that the identity of Client 3 could not be disclosed and was prepared to allow counsel to submit the identity under seal so that it wouldn’t be released to the public.  At this point, counsel for CNN and the NYT objected and made the argument that disclosure was in the public interest — courts are increasingly hesitant about sealing records of proceedings.  Wood agreed and Hannity’s name was revealed in open court.  [/quote]

Why was counsel for CNN and NYT even there? Representing the “public interest”?[/quote]

Yep.

I am a lawyer with an old school journalism degree. And I HATE Hannity.

This is sensationalism.  And Judge should have sealed name of client #3. [/quote]

She would have been happy to accept it otherwise, but the attorney decided to blurt it out.[/quote]
