There is so much ether in the government's rebuttal to Cohen's lawyer's motion...:ahh:

http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/2018_0413_cohen_vs_USA.pdf

Cohen’s alternative request for the appointment of a special master should likewise be denied. It is premised on a wholly distinguishable case involving a search of the law offices of a practicing criminal defense attorney, who shared an office with other criminal defense attorneys, in the district in which the attorney was being prosecuted. Here, Cohen is not a criminal defense attorney, has no cases with the USAO-SDNY, and is being investigated for criminal conduct that largely centers on his personal business dealings.

Based on information gathered in the investigation to date, the USAO-SDNY and FBI have reason to believe that Cohen has exceedingly few clients and a low volume of potentially privileged communications.

Moreover, under such a procedure, Cohen’s claims of privilege would likely be “generous.” Already in his brief to this Court, Cohen’s makes overbroad privilege claims. For example, as described below, Cohen makes claims about his purported privileged communications involving a law firm (with which he had a “strategic relationship”), which are inconsistent with the facts we know about his actual relationship with that firm
