If it's communication between Trump and his lawer, it doesn't matter whether it's listed in the search warrant, you ******* dumbass. That information is privileged.
1. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York secured the search warrants for the FBI, based on a referral from special counsel Robert Mueller’s office and likely approved by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. That means that U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman in New York — who was appointed by President Trump and
personally interviewed by him — considered the case serious enough to issue a search warrant.
2. A search warrant of an attorney’s office for personal communications with his clients is extremely rare. The
U.S. Attorney’s Manual says prosecutors “are expected to take the least intrusive approach consistent with vigorous and effective law enforcement when evidence is sought from an attorney actively engaged in the practice of law.” If a FBI raid is the “least intrusive,” one can only imagine the seriousness of the crimes.
3. A federal magistrate judge had to review the request for a search warrant and apparently also found probable cause that Cohen’s office contained evidence of a specified federal crime.
All of this adds considerable legitimacy of the law enforcement action today against Cohen.
