What exactly is Cohen being hired for is the question? There's scant evidence of him doing any actual legal work, and more of him arranging payoffs between his clients and sex partners outside of their marriages that they want to keep hidden. If Cohen is doing the same thing for Hannity, yet making it look like his doing all of this out of pocket (recall, that's his official story for the Stormy Daniels payoff which is patently absurd) how exactly is he being compensated? Who's actually paying him, or does he just hand out millions of dollars from his own personal funds willy-nilly? Is Hannity a co-conspirator in all this? Don't know, but lets find out.
Hannity pays him back by defending him & Trump on his show every night, trashing the FBI, etc. Quid pro quo.
I'm joking obviously but this talk about whether being the client of a lawyer (in this case as a fixer or w/e) is somehow privileged is hilariously dumb.
As soon as you knew Trump was his client you would have fired him. Anyone with half a brain would have done so. Instead, Hannity kept the relationship and waited for the blatantly obvious to happen.
i'm guessing Hannity went to Cohen because Trumpy is his client.

The evangelicals don’t care because they’re hypocrites.
That's not exactly what he said. In typical Hannity fashion he seems to want it both ways.
He claims he never hired him "in the traditional sense" nor did he pay him anything nor was he invoiced by Cohen. However, he goes on to state that he consulted with Cohen from time to time on "legal" issues, and he expected those conversations were covered by the attorney client privilege. That, I think, creates issues for the lawyer that he has to respect in terms of attorney client privilege. I don't think the lawyer can say "well, he didn't pay me" and go ahead and disclose the confidence.

If I were the lawyer, that's what I would assume.
I really wonder what would have happened if Cohen had simply gone on Maddow's show and started blabbing about what he and Hannity spoke about. My guess is that he would be roasted right now, by pretty much everyone, for violating attorney client privilege.

And seeing as Hannity spends his time defending Cohen and Trump it creates a very real conflict of interest.

That doesnt mean his name is privileged. The conversation could be (depending on the judge) but Hannity has no expectation of privacy for his name.
I disagree that such a blanket statement about this topic is correct. There are clearly instances where a lawyer cannot and should not disclose the identity of his client. https://www.law.ua.edu/pubs/jlp_files/issues_files/vol08/vol08art11.pdf
And this isn't one of them. The Judge knew this and took it into account by all reports.
I think it's more likely that all these chumps are part of a network of assorted con men, hangers on, and enablers, and they all swim together in one another's sewage.
It's an Illuminati for Incompetents.
