They're probably used to that kind of shit working for them during the past 4 years. Like that time when Don Jr. claimed attorney client privilege (he is not an attorney), and he was allowed to roll with it. That kind of shit won't fly in an actual court.
The attorney client privilege is fairly weak, especially in the corporate setting unless it is during and about a pending legal action. You can't just use it to shield anything for any reason.
However, there is a way to shield vendors if you have an outside law firm hire and pay them independently. I will sometimes do that to keep the vendor outside the scope of corporate control. It may not work, but it gives you an argument.
It's possible if they did everything right, they may get it, but I highly doubt they did.

Innocent individuals don't go through all this trouble just for the hell of it. Dude is hiding something, and once January 21st hits, he can't hid behind the power of the White House.
This reporter had a live feed going during the hearing, so you can get a good idea of the actual arguments happening.
The judge seemed pretty interested in what Eric Haren of the NY State AG's office had to say, even going so far as to complement Haren for easily answering very hard questions the judge threw at him. The judge's clerk also went in on Trump's side on more than one occasion, pinning them down for answers when they were trying to deflect.
Never base a prediction on what happened in court, though. The ruling will come down later this afternoon.
Unless the acceptable argument is "well, he's totally the president now so anything he ever did or wrote ever should be protected forever if he wants it to", I don't see this standing up.
Waiting for that Democracy Docket counter to add yet more Ls.

Not sure how to imbed a tweet but that reporter said the Trump Org lost. They must hand over the documents.

Former gameshow host and failed charity/university founder just don't hit the same in court huh
This has to one of the dumbest defences. Professional engineers HAVE to hold public safety and the law as paramount, literally the opposite of hiding illegal shit your employer is doing.
It's almost as if a reputation for not paying your bills keeps competent people away.
Will this actually go through or get appealed a billion times for the next 3 years?
So you're saying you voted for the turd sandwich instead of the giant douche?
With all those millions he grifted from his cult, you'd think he would spend some on getting better lawyers.
Spen...ding mo...ney? You mean... actually... paying people?
