"What kind of lawyer would tape a client?" Maybe the kind whose client has a history of lying about private conversations. Maybe the kind of lawyer who wanted to cover his own ass later. What do you think?
As I understand it, ANYONE can record anyone else without getting permission first. Mr. Cohen, being an attorney, perhaps, was covering his bases JUST IN CASE.
Okay. They are 2 Assholes. It takes an asshole to be the lawyer of an asshole. I leave it at that.
