Did Cohen fall for Stormy Daniels’ script and powerful narration, which made her story come alive by creating vivid and believable incidents? That involved detailed descriptions and realistic dialogue between her and Trump? The more relatable and tangible these incidents were, the more Cohen got immersed in them and fell for them hook, line, and sinker? Forgot to see the significant loophole in it? He took matters into his own hands even when Trump denied the sexual encounter?
The Peril of Unauthorized Legal Actions
In the legal world, the attorney-client relationship is sacred. However, lawyers who become ‘Rogue Advocates’ and take unauthorized actions can suffer serious consequences.
The attorney-client relationship is built on trust. Clients entrust their lawyers with sensitive information and expect them to act in their best interests. When unauthorized actions violate this trust, it can lead to a relationship breakdown and potentially harmful outcomes.
Rogue Advocates
‘Rogue Advocates’ are lawyers who take actions without the knowledge or consent of their clients. This could involve making decisions about case strategy, negotiating settlements, or disclosing confidential information. The emergence of this phenomenon can be attributed to various factors, including increased pressure on lawyers to win cases, lack of communication, and unethical behavior—personal gain or maybe even to impress the client.
“Several factors contribute to the emergence of this phenomenon. The increased pressure on lawyers to win cases is one such factor. Some lawyers, eager to win, might resort to drastic actions without consulting their clients.”
Another contributing factor is the need for more communication between lawyers and clients. If lawyers communicate regularly and openly, their clients can stay aware of the actions being taken on their behalf.
In some cases, unethical behavior on the part of the lawyer might be the cause. This could involve lawyers acting in their interests rather than those of their clients or lawyers not adhering to the ethical guidelines of their profession.
In essence, “Rogue Advocacy” represents a significant risk in the attorney-client relationship, with the potential for serious negative consequences for both the client and the lawyer.
The Fallout of Unauthorized Actions
“Unauthorized” legal actions can lead to severe fallout. Decisions that clients did not approve may bind them, or these actions could negatively impact their cases. In some instances, these actions could lead to legal malpractice claims, damaging the reputation and career of the lawyer involved.
Trump had no choice but to pay Cohen after the fact when he produced his bill. We all have to pay our bills, especially to lawyers.
When we talk about the “fallout from unauthorized legal actions,” we’re referring to the negative consequences of a lawyer taking action without their client’s knowledge or approval. These consequences could be pretty severe.
For instance, imagine you’ve hired a lawyer to represent you, but they make a significant decision about your case without consulting you first. You might find yourself stuck with a decision you disagree with, which could negatively affect your case outcome.
In some cases, these unauthorized actions could even lead to what’s called a “legal malpractice claim.” This is when a client sues their lawyer for not properly doing their job. If a client wins a malpractice claim, it could seriously damage the lawyer’s reputation and career.
Real-Life Instances of Rogue Advocacy
To illustrate the dangers of Rogue Advocacy, we can consider several real-life instances in which lawyers acted without client approval, leading to detrimental outcomes.
For example, would Trump agree to an NDA or pay Daniels as he has denied having had sexual encounters with her? Also, there is clear evidence that it is a figment of Daniels’ imagination. Unfortunately, Cohen did not see that the sexual encounter Daniels narrates never happened except in her script with a significant loophole.
Stormy Daniels: ‘I went to the bathroom, and when I came out, Trump was sitting on the bed, and we had unprotected sex in missionary position, and all the time, I was looking at the ceiling’ porn script? You can also find sad stories in Reddit under in domestic violence posts, where a woman comes out of the bathroom attached to the bedroom, and her abusive husband/partner blocks her, leading to sex, often against her wishes. Daniels described a standard hotel room of 200 to 300 square feet with a bathroom attached. Trump entertains in a 1000+ sq feet luxury suit with a living room and an attached bathroom, especially for the guests. If she had to use the facilities, she would have to use the bathroom attached to the living room, not the host’s private bathroom. Going to the host’s private bathroom, whom you have met for the first time that day, is a violation of privacy. When she came out, the bed could not magically appear in front of the luxury suite guest bathroom attached to the living room? Trump could not block her exit.
Is Trump brain dead to have unprotected sex with a porn star or anyone whom he met for the first time? He has a high IQ of 145, and he should be well aware of the dark side of unprotected sex.
Unfortunately, Cohen does not see the significant flaw in Daniels’ narration. It seems Cohen fell hook and line, sinker for Daniels’ Charismatic personality and her imaginative storytelling that she and Trump were having an affair, which was later reduced to a one-time sexual encounter, even denying it at one time. He did not bother to check the facts. He proceeded to pay Daniels $130,000 out of his own pocket and made her sign an NDA; he established a shell company so his wife wouldn’t know about his dealings with Daniels without thinking his very action gave Daniels leverage. At the same time, he billed Trump $420,000.
Mystery: why was he hiding his dealings with Daniels from his wife?
Cohen’s unauthorized action is a stark reminder of the potential hazards of unauthorized legal actions.
Conclusion
When discussing “Rogue Advocacy” in legal representation, we refer to a severe problem where lawyers act without their client’s knowledge or consent. This is a significant issue because it can lead to adverse outcomes for the client and damage the trust that is so important in the attorney-client relationship.
We need to promote transparency, communication, and ethical practice to address this issue. Transparency means that all actions taken by the lawyer are clear and understandable to the client. Communication involves regular updates and discussions between the lawyer and the client to ensure they are always informed about their case. Ethical practice refers to the lawyer’s responsibility to act in their client’s best interests, maintain confidentiality, and avoid any actions that could harm the client.
Ms Hicks said that while Cohen was not involved in the campaign directly, he frequently tried to inject himself into it.
“He liked to call himself ‘Fixer’ or ‘Mr. Fix it,” Hicks said. “And it was only because he first broke it.”
BBC
Known as Trump’s ‘fixer,’ Cohen was often seen as the man who would step in to solve problems. However, as Hope Hicks’ testimony suggests, Cohen was also adept at creating problems, only to step in later and ‘fix’ them. Being both a problem creator and solver, this paradoxical role is not unique to Cohen but is indicative of a broader pattern within the legal profession.
Did Cohen fall desperately for Daniels’ charm that he did not see a significant loophole in her narration and proceeded to act on his own without getting the authority from Trump?
According to Hicks, Trump was angry. Wouldn’t you be if your lawyer went rogue without your consent?
