This was already explained earlier in the thread. He never hired him for his services, but did get some legal advice, which is still covered under attorney/client privilege even if he never actually used his services as a lawyer.
Money doesn't have to change hands. Lawyers do pro-bono work all the time. Cohen told the judge that Hannity was his client. There was no misunderstanding his claim. Was he lying?
He said he sought out his legal opinion before but never actually hired him as a lawyer. Why does this confuse you so much?
You're the one confused.
No, you are. They would need to obtain a warrant to legally look at or use anything regarding Sean Hannity and his interactions with the lawyer that were related to professional advice/opinions.
Isn't that what happened?
They had a warrant to look at Sean Hannity's case files with this particular lawyer? Link?
