Sorry bout that,
1. Only a few understand the level of unconstitutional rape that this is, the only way this can happen is if the Deep State makes it happen, I point my finger at the Clintons, in general, and the rest of the totality of the politicians in Washington DC.
2. Where is the outrage from the republicans who sit in a chair?
3. In this action the silence if deafening, and telling.
4. Might be time to get the pitch forks ready, and tar and feathers.

There is nothing unconstitutional about this nor does it become unconstitutional because it ruffled your feathers. If there’s evidence Cohen violated the law, he exposes himself to a constitutionally backed search & seizure. No attorney can hide behind attorney-client privilege to break the law. Once an attorney breaks a law, they lose that shield of attorney-client privilege.
No, that does not break the seal of attorney/client privilege. You seem to ignore that an illegal act by the attorney does not deprive the client of attorney/client privilege. No search warrant is an unlimited license to look for possible crimes, nor can it be used to bypass the law.
That's interesting, and I mean that sincerely.
Assuming some secret about Trump was found in the search.
If Cohen didn't commit any crime, and he got the information while representing Trump, then the information should be privileged, and it should not be used against Trump or even disclosed.
Assuming the search uncovered some evidence that
Cohen did something illegal, and what he did involved some Trump property or something Trump said or did, then it gets more interesting.
If Trump was not at all involved in the illegal thing Cohen did, then there might be privilege so Trump might be able to hide some embarassing secret, assuming Trump actually has embarrassing secrets. But, the information could still be used to prosecute Cohen. For example "attorney Cohen acting on his own illegally paid moneys to Stormy Daniels to induce her not to tell about X (which is not named).
BUT if Trump was involved in a joint effort with Cohen to commit a crime .. fahgetabout, there ain't no privilege.
