Phil1111 937 #1 April 10, 2018 http://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/382411-trump-must-beware-the-cohen-trap This a particularly interesting concept of law. "Cohen signed the now-infamous nondisclosure agreement with Daniels on behalf of “EC LLC,” which is basically himself. He allegedly never conferred with Trump or got his consent for paying $130,000 in hush money. Moreover, Cohen has talked about securing $20 million in penalties from Daniels for himself, not for Trump." A member of the Bar will pay for an insurance plan for the criminal conduct of a client with another party. Without that clients knowledge. The benefits of such a plan will flow entirely to the lawyer who pays the premium. For which the principal, the client, (for Rushmc that means trump)! Not only knows nothing about. But seems disinclined to learn about. Welcome to new case law, in trumpworld. And for those who are thinking ahead a bit. Remember Steve Bannon. "“You realise where this is going,” he is quoted as saying. “This is all about money laundering. Mueller chose [senior prosecutor Andrew] Weissmann first and he is a money-laundering guy. Their path to fucking Trump goes right through Paul Manafort, Don Jr and Jared Kushner … It’s as plain as a hair on your face.” https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/jan/03/donald-trump-russia-steve-bannon-michael-wolff So how badly does Cohen want to go to jail. Or does the lawyer "pardon" come into play. For those who need the RICO act explained. Here is an excellent abet lengthy read: https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/security/reports/2017/12/07/443833/donald-trump-criminal-conspiracy-law/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Certainly, he might be the cleverest lawyer Cooley Law School ever produced and there could be any number of reasons he ended up where he did. But I doubt his CV has Mueller and team up at nights. Western Michigan University Cooley Law School is an American Bar Association accredited law school. WMU-Cooley has four campuses. Its main campus is in Lansing, Michigan and its satellite campuses are in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Auburn Hills, Michigan, and Tampa, Florida.[3][4] First year courses may be taken at Western Michigan University's Kalamazoo campus.[5] An affiliation between Cooley and Western Michigan University went into effect on August 13, 2014. According to Cooley's ABA required disclosures, only 27.4% of graduates from the class of 2015 obtained full-time, long term, bar passage required employment 9 months after graduation.[6] 23.8% of graduates were unemployed 9 months after graduation.[7] Only 51.86% of graduates managed to pass a state bar exam in 2015, a requirement to practice law.[8] In 2017, the school was one of ten American law schools found to be out of compliance with the American Bar Association's requirement that schools only admit students who appear capable of earning a J.D. degree and passing the bar examination.[9] The school was recently ranked the worst law school in the country by Above the Law.[10] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh well. For trump and Mr. Cohen they both have this in common now: http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/lawyers_rank_highest_on_loneliness_scale_study_finds/?icn=most_read Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JerryBaumchen 1,077 #4 April 10, 2018 Hi Joe, QuoteInteresting Law School Cohen chose. Maybe Cohen did not choose it. Back in '01, when my son was applying to various law schools, this one invited him there; and he had not had any contact with them nor had he applied there.
