“Paul Waldman: Trump has never been in more trouble than right now
I checked in with a former U.S. attorney to get context on the Cohen raid. She emphasized how rare it is for prosecutors to get a warrant for privileged material:
Breaching attorney-client privilege in this way only happens when THE ATTORNEY HIMSELF is directly implicated in possible crimes. The former U.S. attorney also stressed that, because it is such a radical step for prosecutors to take, a complex system of safeguards has been established to make sure it can’t be abused.” – WaPo
