Yet again, one of the co-defendants is represented by a corrupt Trump attorney (Jay Sekulow). I’ve written in my books and at PROOF about how Trump regularly uses shared lawyers to find out what’s going on inside criminal cases that could blow back on him. abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireS…
(PS) No honest attorney would represent a co-defendant in a case where one of the key witnesses is another client.
This strikes me, and I'm sure many criminal defense attorneys, as the longtime Trump M.O. of using lawyers to help create—and then cover up—larger bribery schemes.

(PS2) To simplify this for folks: Trump is a historically persistent witness tamperer/obstructor of justice. He's set up a scheme where he can communicate with Wead and claim the middleman—Sekulow—can’t say what was communicated due to attorney-client privilege with both parties.
(PS3) In state court, a judge would call Sekulow to the bench and say, "Attorney Sekulow, I don’t understand how you’re representing this defendant. Isn’t Mr. Trump a likely witness in this trial? Don’t you represent him?" At the federal level, it seems this question isn’t asked.
