Cohens attorney: At this point, no one would admit theyre a client

Cohen lawyers Todd Harrison and Stephen Ryan’s response: It would be embarrassing.

Ryan called the person a “publicly prominent individual” who had expressly asked not to be named and to file an appeal if the court ordered Cohen’s team to reveal his identity.

“At this point no one would want to admit they’re a client in this way,” Ryan said, offering to submit the name to the court in an envelope if it would be kept under seal.

Love me some Judge Kimba Wood. Wish I had been in that courtroom to hear the laughter.

That is so cute. These guys are so used to operating with zero consequences and are so overly impressed with their perceived power that it must be truly terrifying to them that they cannot control the narrative - much less the direction of this investigation. I hope Sean is shaking in his boots and goes down with the rest of them.

... to make it look like Cohen is a real lawyer.

Hannity insisted multiple times today that he wasn't a client

I'm thinking how dumb is he to think his name would never get out ?!
