F.B.I raids the office of Trump’s personal lawyer.

I am not at all favorable to Trump, but I wonder where the attorney-client privilege has gone here.
Good question! That must be preserved above all else.
Unless there is evidence of an imminent threat to life of others. Which I very much doubt.
If this involves the porn star, both Cohen and Trump assert that Cohen was acting on his own. If so, just who is the 'privileged' client?

Depends on what they are looking for.
... can a Saturday night massacre be far away?
It is my understanding that Cohen is a criminal suspect. I doubt that any privilege is attached to his personal records.
I believe the cliche is that the attorney isn't obligated to reveal where the bodies are buried, but he's not allowed to help bury them.

Good question. It is my understanding that privileged records will be there in examined by a separate group. But if they find communication for the purpose of committing obstruction of justice, conspiracy or other crimes there is no privilege.
I don't think Trump would risk it. It would be exceedingly foolish at this point.
Not a good look. It appears Mueller is trying to get himself fired.
If this is about the hooker, why is it based on a referral from the special counsel?
If this is an end run on attorney-client privilege to get at communications between Trump and his lawyer, he absolutely deserves to be removed from his position.

If you say so but looks to me like either Cohen is a part of a criminal investigation and/or he got himself involved is something that can get him disbarred.

There is no hooker involved. But I can understand your confusion. Trump after all does have a predilection for hiring hookers.
Hooker, pornographic actor, to-may-to, to-mah-to.

Sounds like it to me too. If they find evidence of wrong doing by Trump, but none from the attorney that evidence would be excluded from any trialtrial, from my understanding.

Nope, big difference and if a public person or official made such a claim they could and probably would be sued.
That is the $64,000 question right there. Obviously they think Cohen has done something criminal. You came to the conclusion it was about trump. Maybe not..
