You can tell that you thinking has been altered by your occupation as a lawyer when. . .

the primary thing about Michael Cohen's revelations about his relationship with Donald Trump you think about is how on earth is that not a violation of the attorney client privileged.

I think that's the way that story strikes most lawyers.  We all learn a lot of details and secrets from our clients, and we're supposed to keep them secret.  Isn't Cohen blowing that?

I worry a bit about this actually changing the nature of the privilege, which would be a very bad thing indeed.  Hush money for trysts with Playboy models?  That's icky, but I didn't think Trump was a super admirable guy to start with.
