BREAKING: Dowd resigns as Trump's [lead] lawyer

Thats not a tightrop I would want to walk

Just dont meet with mueller in the first place

Because there is nothing to be gained

 

Yup.

When the Mueller probe began, Trump and company made the round of the big DC and Wall Street firms, the ones you would expect would want to handle the President of the United State's business.

There were no takers. The New York crowd was especially scornful.

One of them summed it up.

"He doesn't listen, and he doesn't pay"

 

Definitely the way to go when you have something to hide

 

Because any major change to a legal team in the middle of a scandal is newsworthy.

Moreover, Trump's choice for a new one, Joe DiGenova, is more of a public relations flack than an attorney.

 

Or even when you dont

 

Yea I would say the smart play would be to force Mueller to justify a subpoena if he wants to talk to Trump.

Then when he Mueller cant do so that would be a strong indication that there is no more justification that the probe itself continue.

 

Trump probably gave him a choice.

 

Obama protected him so that he did not have to plead the fifth.

 

LOL! The mess is on Mueller's side.

 

Mueller is going to drag this out for as long as trump is in office

The best tactic is to fight him every step of the way

 

I hope she is honest about her initial accusation of racism.

 

DiGenova specialty these days is promoting conspiracy theories as a pundit on fox, not trying cases in court. So trumps legal team has lost a court oriented lawyer, and gained a lawyer whose specialty is bombast.

IMO, this signals that there is less plan to confront mueller in court.... and instead a plan to try the case in the court of public opinion... remember when the election was “fixed”? Now we will have a message that the investigation is fixed

 

I've been saying since day one Mueller will be "investigating" until 2024.

Trump should take a meeting and then sit there on his phone ignoring Mueller.

Then he can invite him back and say "no no, this time we'll talk don't worry" ...and then ignore him again.

See how many times Mueller believes Trump wont take the football away.

 

That sounds like fun but I dont think trump could keep quiet

 

And it was just reported that the House "investigation" failed to investigate many connections between Trump and Russia. They avoided what was most potentially damaging to Trump and quickly ended the game without the Democrats on the team knowing, and published the "report" that did not included the input or participation or even the knowledge of the Democrats on the team, and so cannot be called a "committee report". IOW they just worked to exonerate Trump and his gang. Validity wasn't important to them.

 

They owed us that much after letting lois learner plead the 5th and retire without being fired

 

Ha ha ha... nah... it's MSNBC on PMS

 

Which makes your argument even less coherent. Lol

 

Like trump did to all his folks who wouldn’t even claim exec privilege...but still refused to answer

 

No, it wasn't.

And the date was chosen so that it would be the big news the day before the special election in Pennsylvania, the one Connor Lamb won. But Trump chose to fire Rex Tillerson that day, stepping on his own message (again).

The Nunes "investigation" was a sham, and it's conclusions were dismissed out of hand by everyone. Even the right wingers aren't paying attention to it!

With DiGenova on board, I guess the Trump "defense" will consist of going on Fox and shouting about "bombshell" revelations and testimony that never actually amount to anything. That was the pattern he followed when he was working with Daryll Issa on the Benghazi show.

 

The longest that Trump has gone without losing someone in 2018 is 11 days.

In other words, the longest that Trump has gone without losing someone in 2018 is one MOOCH.

Only to the anti-Trump Trump-hating alt-left is it newsworthy.

 

It's frustrating for any lawyer to have an hysterical client incapable of disciplining himself.

The prospect of the unstable egotist succumbing to one of his tantrumps and spewing his lies before the Trump Justice Department Special Counsel must be disturbing.

How much longer "Day Care" Kelly must keep changing diapers and administering Ritalin smoothies is also problematic.
