CNN: grand jury has been impaneled in Cohen criminal investigation

This was just reported on Wolf’s show. The president has hired new lawyers that are attempting to argue that all of Trump’s communications with Cohen should be protected since Trump’s the president.

Judge wants other Cohen clients identified as he seems to have no other clients.

-for lawyers yet? Like Mar alago staff/Hotel Staff? Can't be too long. Who ever does something for him most likely is selling their careers for a 1 time deal bc law licenses etc are going to go down in flames if you work for him.

Executive privledge are for executive actions, not for the president. This is Bannon’s doing and doesn’t hold a drop of water legally.
