Trump Doesn't Know The Law

Sorry Donald, but the raid on your lawyer's office was justifiable:

The attorney-client privilege protects most communications between clients and their lawyers. But, according to the crime-fraud exception to the privilege, a client’s communication to her attorney isn’t privileged if she made it with the intention of committing or covering up a crime or fraud.

Because the attorney-client privilege belongs to the client, the client’s intent determines whether the exception applies. Most courts will apply the exception even if the attorney had no knowledge of, and didn’t participate in, the actual crime or fraud.

The crime-fraud exception applies if:

  • the client was in the process of committing or intended to commit a crime or fraudulent act, and
  • the client communicated with the lawyer with intent to further the crime or fraud, or to cover it up.

They gotcha, and it's just a matter of time (very short) until they bring you all the way down.

Hey, what kind of a guy is Mike Pence?

By the way, why didn't the FBI raid the offices of the Clinton Crime Family lawyers? Are these guys above the law?
