So I am not a legal scholar, but a pretty interesting facet of the story that broke today about trunp’s lawyer getting raided is that in theory by violating potential client attorney privilege any information gained is theoretically inadmissible. So far I have only seen two explanations to account for why it was done anyway. Option one is that as trump and Cohen have both publicly and repeatedly stated trump was not aware of the payment to that porn star, it by definition can’t be covered by attorney client privilege (and a judge would have to agree to issue the warrant)
or two, a judge was pursuaded that there was compelling reason to believe Cohen had himself been part of a conspiracy explicitly with his client, negating any privileged dialogue.
either way, interesting day.
I hope it's the second case, since as sleazy as it is to cheat on your wife with a porn star and then pay her hush money, it's not really illegal.

It's illegal in many American states (including New York, which I'm surprised to find out), though punishment is rarely enforced.

My bad, it's only a misdemeanor in New York. Still find that surprising, though.
Flagship of the hated conservative rep party getting tried for cheating on his wife of all things with liberal identifying folks seeing nothing wrong with that as long as he gets tried for something would be delightfully schadenfreude.
I think Snow is talking about how the Republicans tried to throw out Clinton for the same thing back in the 90's. Though the irony runs both ways, with the Republicans now saying that these things are meaningless instead of going out and grabbing the nearest pornographer to testify at senate hearings.

What’s good for the goose is good for the gander?
I mean if we're impeaching presidents for lying, Trump's chances aren't looking too good.
