If you're correct, why didn't each court simply say "There is no such


privilege and we don't know why the client is even making the argument." The answer is that there is such a privilege and, like most privileges, it is not absolute and there are exceptions.

Find me a case where a court ruled that an innocent third party not involved in the underlying case in any way - and not a public official subject to special public disclosure laws - was not entitled to prevent disclosure of the fact that he had retained legal counsel. If you're right, that should be easy to do.

Hannity is an innocent bystander in the DOJ's investigation of Cohen. To the extent he had an attorney-client relationship with Cohen, he had a right to prevent that from being disclosed publicly. (At most, the Judge should have held an in camera proceeding to obtain the information she needed.)
