Streams of lies, rivers of filth, a criminal in the White House

Go to the âReviewâ tab of the document, click on the picklist next to âTrack Changes,â change âFinal: Show Markupâ to âFinal,â make whatever changes you want and save it periodically. This is all you need to know, sir. Dealing with all the conflicting changes is the job of the poor sod who wrote the original draft.

We should not forget this is what the nation voted for. We asked for this, directly, when we went to the polls on 11/08/2016. That Trump and those around him were all criminals was known. And we voted him into office under the election laws of the nation.

Oh, I know this is true, but the evidence of the 11 checks hasnât yet been turned over to the committee, right?
Iâll see your Sekulow, and raise you a Nielsen, a Miller, a Bolton, a Pence, a Hucksterbee, a Zinke, a Sessions, an Ivanka, a Jared, and a JrâŚ

It is not hearsay when the witness is under oath testifying that âJoe did Xâ. It would be hearsay if the witness were testifying âBob told me Joe did Xâ. You can choose to doubt the truthfulness of the witness saying âJoe did Xâ, but that is not hearsay.

Stories about the checks are everywhere. If the media has seen this evidence, the committee has seen this evidence.

My wife and I were in the Cincinnati airport once (the one in Kentucky) at a remote gate we we were shuttled to. We were stuck there for hours with a delayed plane. It was the day both Gerald Ford and James Brown died.
After a billion loops of the TV news my wife turns to me in her news reader voice and says, âAmerica mourns the loss of President Gerald FordâThe Godfather of Soulâwho died today.â

I rarely use Track Changes. For long documents being reviewed by several people (like international arbitration memorials, which can run to hundreds of pages and pass through many hands) Track Changes is the quickest way to get a corrupted document that crashes at 2:00 a.m. When I circulate a draft and get back comments in TC, I review them and hand incorporate whichever changes I want to accept into the master draft, then a run a redline to show the changes. Then, of course, scrub the master version to within an inch of its life before sending it out.
No one touches my master document unless they want to die.

I just remember him saying specifically he would have to get the copies from the bank before he could turn them over - that was only a week ago.
I would think that them having been delivered would get as much press.

Buzzfeed was not only right, but it looks like they undersold their story.
Trump didnât just suborn perjury by âdirectingâ Cohen to lie. This wasnât just coded mob language or stochastic encouragement as Davis and Cohen have both said. This was about Trump directing his attorneys to make sure Cohenâs statement to Congress aligned to his own story, which both Cohen and Trump knew was false. Since we have all the data in the world to prove that Trumpâs story was false and that he knew it at the time (+ a witness to testify against him), Trumpâs liability exposure seems much clearer.
As for the attorneys, I donât think attorney-client privilege will protect them from being questioned. The crime-fraud exception would allow prosecutors to question bth Sekulow and Lowell. Itâs clear that a material lie was told to Congress and that Trump knew it was a lie when it happened, and had more than a hand in defining and aligning that statement to match his own story.
What I donât know, and perhaps @ncsteve can comment, is whether Sekulow/Lowell can get in trouble if they didnât know that Trumpâs story and Cohenâs story were false. I think a potential vulnerability for them is if Cohenâs original draft did not perfectly align with Trumpâs story on this material question of when the TT Moscow discussions ended, and then Sekulow/Lowell deleted, edited or revised those references to make them align. That, to me, would suggest that they had a legal duty to do some diligence as to whether Cohenâs original draft represented the truth as he understood it. It feels like Sekulow/Lowell may have effectively coached the witness to avoid gaps or contradictions in the Trump-Cohen stories. That I think would be very problematic for both of them.

All kidding aside, I would imagine at least some of this took place through email, which would most likely be easier to prove than handwritten notes. Bonus: irony would be alive and well.

Would they need some kind of documentation to prove the mis-alignment? A calendar or something? Iâm sure they have everything but how would they otherwise know about the mis-alignment of dates?
