I've been thinking about the admissibility of what Michael Cohen might say. A. who is more conversant in the law of Privilege than am I tells me that although his advice to his client might be privileged, the underlying facts would not be. So, for example, a client might say, "I have a prospective deal in the works which will be all in cash. How should I handle that?" Per A., Cohen's response would be inadmissible, but his knowledge about the transaction would not be. I should research this....
There is also the interesting issue of whether an incentivized witness is credible.

I don't think that's quite right. Suppose client C is accused of murder but really he was across town cheating on Mrs. C at the time and doesn't want Mrs. C to know that. The point of the privilege is to allow C to communicate that fact to L so that L may advise C without C's fearing that L would reveal it without C's consent.
The "fact" exception has to do with facts to which the lawyer is a witness, not facts which were communicated to the lawyer by the client. For example, if L is a witness to a transaction involving his client C in which he sees C give the other party a bag of cash, then L can be compelled to testify to what he saw C do, notwithstanding that C is his client.

Over three seasons, this show continues to come along with very exciting premises, and then (at varying times throughout each season) falls apart at the seems. happy death day trailer
Ryan Murphy seems to be incapable of reigning it in. Rather than focus on all the good he has, especially in season 3, he manages, in 13 episodes to throw even more in, discarding stories he might find boring without tying them up, writing things into a corner so that they're forgotten about the next week to allow the story to continue, killing and reviving and killing and reviving, not to mention the stupidly confusing choices the characters make along the way. rampage film
So let's begin with the biggest waste this season: Fiona Goode. Jessica Lange has created, until now, two successful anti-heroes. Both were twisted and cynical but also possessed a capacity for love (albeit of a bizarre manner). watch the devils candy online free hd Fiona Goode, her character in this season, is nothing but a tired rehash of those two women; same mannerisms, same accent, same attitude. She murders a young girl in one instant and then revives a still-born baby the next. Then she repeats the cycle again. There's only so many times a viewer can be bothered sympathising or hating someone. Along the way, one just gets bored. watch Avengers Infinity War online free
The next biggest disappointments occur in two new additions to the cast: Angela Basset and Kathy Bates. Both do so much with what they're offered (Kathy eventually just reprising Annie Wilkes and Angela as the sassy black sidekick) that it ruins the entire season (how, if a casting director or even show creator can find nothing more to do with two gifted veteran actors can he possibly have had any idea of what to do with the show in the first place?). happy death day nude
