Trumps lawyer is claiming Mueller broke the law by obtaining documents from the GSA that were covered by attorney-client privilege. attorney-client privilege is waived when the documents are handed over to a 3rd party other than the client, such as giving the docs to the gsa. Sounds like trumps lawyer messed up and is now trying to cover his own butt


Edit to add: even if GSA agreed to hold the documents back from investigation the privilege would still have been waived when they were first handed over to GSA. Simone in trumps team got sloppy and is now crying foul when mueller exploited it
