The liberal spin on this is: "Trump must have committed a really bad crime to justify violating attorney-client privilege, and to get this violation through all the layers of checks and balances in the establishment government."
The correct way to look at this is: "The establishment government is so eager to undo the election and take down Trump that they are willing to destroy the attorney-client protections in this country to do it." Unfortunately Democrats and the deep state have become so rabid about taking out Trump that they don't care what the consequences are for our legal system moving forward.
This will weaken legal representation in the country because people will realize that anything they say to their lawyer could be grabbed by the FBI and used against them, so defendants would be stupid to tell their lawyers anything that could incriminate them. It would be stupid to tell their lawyers anything.
It's a bad day for our country.
Dershowitz' take on this is the exact same as mine.
Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz warned Monday that special counsel Robert Mueller's decision to raid President Trump's personal lawyer's office is an assault on the privileged lawyer-client relationship.
...
"This is a very dangerous day today for lawyer-client relations," he added.
Dershowitz, who has drawn the ire of Democrats for defending Trump, said Mueller's move is also dangerous because it gives the FBI the option of deciding what information seized from Cohen to pursue.
"I tell [clients] on my word of honor that what you tell me is sacrosanct," he said. "And now they say, just based on probable cause ... they can burst into the office, grab all the computers, and then give it to another FBI agent and say, 'You're the firewall. We want you now to read all these confidential communications, tell us which ones we can get and which ones we can't get.'"
"If this were Hillary Clinton being investigated and they went into her lawyer's office, the ACLU would be on every television station in America, jumping up and down," he added.
"The deafening silence from the ACLU and civil libertarians about the intrusion into the lawyer-client confidentiality is really appalling," Dershowitz said.
The famed law professor said Mueller's move will only convince more people not to cooperate and said he believes Mueller has "lost perspective" in the case.
Dershowitz recommended that Trump make a motion in court to take Cohen's materials away from the FBI and make a judge decide what evidence can be used and which cannot.
