It all started with a Trump tweet, as most of these conversations do.
Attorney Client privilege is now a thing of the past. I have many (too many!) lawyers and they are probably wondering when their offices, and even homes, are going to be raided with everything, including their phones and computers, taken. All lawyers are deflated and concerned!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 15, 2018
Not one of his best tweets but certainly not his most controversial either.
But it got the attention of CNN’s Chris Cuomo:
Not a concern for all lawyers. Exception is well known and rarely exercised and even then only with a high bar. Only when there is proof a lawyer is in criminal cahoots with client is the privilege examiner. https://t.co/PhAn9yznAY

In criminal cahoots … did he really say that?
COHEN IS IN CAHOOTS!
These people.
Editor’s note: Just gotta point this out, Cuomo does nothing but quote tweet EVERYONE he engages with, which makes it a real PITA to cover him. Plus we’re pretty sure he does it to grandstand for his followers …

Ya’ think?
Usually, yes. But Trump has an interesting and unusual influence with base and his repeated notions – even when clearly wrong – resonate, with that minority population at the least https://t.co/T1fkLu7Rq6

Chris has a very passive aggressive and annoying way of calling people he disagrees with idiots and minimizing their impact on this country.

Hey, at least Brad is upfront.
Heh.
never agreed/allowed this to pass because know it’s untrue. Trump attracted some who motivate negative agendas and ugliness. But there are many with legit gripes and desperation for attention and action. That’s why ‘deplorable’ dig hurt hrc. Don’t disrespect legit concern. https://t.co/B2NMnLBMAg

Awww yes, the deplorable comment.
Good times.
To be fair, Hillary's deplorable comment was qualified. She said some of his supporters were deplorable. Not all.

‘To be fair, it’s ok that Hillary disrespected nearly half of this country because Trump … ‘
Seriously?
True but it was exaggerated and struck a nerve with many hardworking folks – some who used to vote Dems – who feel forgotten https://t.co/czEsxmUKYR

TRUE.
ROFL.
Oh, Chris.

Kurt Schlichter with a simple emoji.
You should stick with just emojis. Greatly improved your level of cogency. https://t.co/brlbhGipW5
— Christopher C. Cuomo (@ChrisCuomo) April 15, 2018
WOW.
Chris seems seriously angry about said emoji.
Oh, Fredo's getting feisty!

Heh.
There was no follow up from Fredo … err … Chris after this brief exchange but it still made us laugh.
A lot.
