whomever wrote these pathetic tweets does not understand the lawyer/client thingy...a lawyer takes direction from his/her client...and a good lawyer advises his client on the legalities/illegalities as to what the client is requesting...a good lawyer does not become complicit in breaking the law for his client and if the client insists on breaking the law the a good lawyer, as an officer of the court, is duty bound to hand his now former client his file and escort him out the door...the Trump/Cohen bromance was solidified the instant Cohen became a willing participant in Trump's filth and he was rewarded handsomely for it... remember Trump only picks the best people
