NO attorneys were consulted -- thats the problem
Did Trump JR attend Trump University?

yep, he actually did:

the existence of any third party usually nullifies client-attorney privilege but there are exceptions:

but it doesn't look like hope hicks meet those qualifications so the argument should be moot.

from the CNN article:

"But Trump Jr. did not provide details about communications with his father and invoked attorney-client privilege because of the presence of attorneys during the exchange with his father."

it's not clear if this is the same conversation with hope hicks or a different one but..... it doesn't really matter. any conversation including hope hicks shouldn't fall under attorney-client privilege.

Also, just having an attorney in the room doesn't work.

This is an old mob tactic and not a particularly effective one.

Trump is tweeting up a storm today -- Witch hunt, Podesta, Clinton, .... the usual bogus BS.

But this was interesting. Seems he going to demand that the DOJ look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ surveilled or infiltrated his campaign and if the Obama administration was behind this.

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/...56454590193665

Here we go again.

He demanded the DOJ find evidence that Obama wiretapped his campaign. DOJ found no such evidence.

Then he demanded a commission find three million illegal voters. The commission never could find any.

Now he demands the DOJ find out whether or not his campaign was surveilled or infiltrated.

Anyone want to guess out this is going to turn out?

We all know how this will turn out. This man does nothing but deflect from reality. He's guilty of multiple crimes and it shows.

He seems to be disturbed by some NYT's article.

In the last five hours, he's sent out eight tweets and retweeted one from Eric, which is the sanest and most intelligent one of the bunch.

Obama's legacy being erased one day at a time. Must hurt being a Lib and seeing the economy doing so well.
