This was collusion to commit a crime. Attorney/Client privilege does NOT exist under those circumstances. Thanks, Sap | |||

These people are making our country into a cesspool. The effluent is only up to our foundation now, but it rises at every corrupt move these elitists make. If we stop and repair it now, we can avoid drowning in it. If we ignore the tide, we will find ourselves fondly remembering the days when sewage didn't infect everything we experience.

The crime-fraud exception may very well apply since Comey gave his friend classified information for the purpose of leaking it and concealing his involvement. The friend may also have bar problems. As a law professor, I doubt he carries malpractice insurance unless he actively practices on the side. Some states require attorneys to have insurance or to expressly disclose their lack of insurance in an engagement letter. "I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here." -- Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address, Jan. 11, 1989 Si vis pacem para bellum There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.

How can someone in a position as Comey be so dumb about him leaking confidential conversations with the president not being a problem when he confessed it? He acted like a kid playing the "but he hit me first!" game. Was he that slow at realizing the deep state's party was over? | |||

People like Comey believe, I mean deeply believe, that they are above the law and anything they do is for noble purposes and thus beyond reproach. They do not think they are doing anything wrong, in fact, he believes that he is incapable of doing anything wrong. All you have to do is watch his testimony before Congress or go to his twitter timeline and read what he tweets. He really believes that he is the pinnacle of ethics and leadership. “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||

 "He really believes that he is the pinnacle of ethics and leadership." He became delusional. The elites spend years in an echo chamber where they feed each other the same BS. It becomes their distorted view of reality. https://thefederalist.com/2018...now-claims-attorney/ Reached by phone on Tuesday, Richman refused to say when his legal representation of Comey began or whether he was personally representing Comey when the former FBI director testified before Congress in June 2017 about his deliberate leaking of the FBI records. The specific timing of the attorney-client relationship is important, because it may shield conversations between Comey and Richman regarding the coordinated leak of FBI records to the media from law enforcement scrutiny. “I asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo with a reporter,” Comey testified last June in response to a question from Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine). “Didn’t do it myself, for a variety of reasons.” “But I asked him to, because I thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel,” Comey continued. “And so I asked a close friend of mine to do it.” “Who was that?” Collins asked. “A good friend of mine who’s a professor at Columbia Law School,” Comey responded. Despite being given multiple opportunities to do so, Comey never characterized Richman as his attorney, nor did he suggest that his directions to Richman to leak the memos to the media were privileged attorney-client communications. The news that Richman is now representing Comey raises questions about whether the special counsel may be investigating Comey and Richman for their roles in leaking classified information to the news media in order to get revenge on Trump for firing Comey. *********** BTW, this is a classic Clinton tactic: Have your co-conspirators be your attorneys also | |||

If you plot with an ordinary person, communications between you are discoverable and may be used against you as evidence. If you are both attorneys, there is a chance that your communications might be discoverable and useable, but at least there is a good change they can’t be used, even if discovered, if one of you claims and preserves the privilege. It is not a magic King’s X, though and can be overcome. Always conspire with an attorney! Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

Psychopaths frequently pass lie detector tests because the absence of a conscience means that when they lie there is no change in GSR, heart rate, breathing. They know they are lying, it just does not bother them in the very least. They are, as a result, superb liars. ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

I would submit that conspiring to commit treason with an attorney does not protect either of them from treason charges and trial. Elk There has never been an occasion where a people gave up their weapons in the interest of peace that didn't end in their massacre.

Who knows? When is the last time anyone was charged and convicted of treason? Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

I believe it was in the early 50's. I think we are way past time to do a few more convictions. “Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.” ― Ronald Reagan Retired old fart | |||

I wonder if his book contradicts this statement. I do not want to buy his book or contribute to him in any way by buying it. There is something good and motherly about Washington, the grand old benevolent National Asylum for the helpless. - Mark Twain The Gilded Age #CNNblackmail #CNNmemewar | |||

Just from my own dealings in business, the statement ATTORNEY CLIENT PRIVILEGED INFORMATION must be in the subject line of emails, in the email body, and the attorney or record must be in the To: or CC: for that to hold. I don't think you can send something, then later claim it privileged. Our in house legal beagles may disagree.
