Ahem, Guiliani is the new lawyer, he should say ‘a better lawyer’…
Hey Chuck, if I were in the Senate, I would look into hiring a new president.
How long before Trump tweets out Grassley’s quote and then ends it with “and I did (smart!).”
Trump should shoot Chuck Grassley instead and then we can all be happy with the results.
No, keep that dirty old egomaniac piece of shit. And keep up the treasonous behavior. I WANT a fucking confrontation with these evil right wing fucks. Bring it on.
Agreed. This showdown needs to happen sooner rather than later.
Grassley is not a dummie. Gulliani said:
“In no case can he be subpoenaed or indicted. I don’t know how you can indict while he’s in office. No matter what it is … If he shot James Comey, he’d be impeached the next day. Impeach him, and then you can do whatever you want to do to him.”
Trump’s refusal to be interviewed is highly likely to end up in Court, and very fast at this point. What you DON’T want to do is to be advocating extreme positions. You can be 110% sure that this will be used by Mueller as an example of the fact that Trump’s argument has no limits, and can’t be correct as a result. The end point of a principle ending in extreme outcomes is the best argument that lawyers have that it is NOT a reasonable interpretation of the constitutional principles.
Trump has an argument that he can prevent some types of interference with this authority, and prior decisions like Jones v. Clinton (rejecting that argument that Paula Jones could not depose Clinton) recognize these limits based upon practical considerations. What Giuliani is effectively doing is undermining any claims that Trump will later try to make. Rather than a reasonable argument that e.g. a subpoena would interfere with his authority, he has made this into an argument about whether “Trump is above and not subject to the law.”
This is a stunning tactical and legal mistake. Hard to overstate how bad this is for Trump that this is the ground his “lawyers” (air quotes, Giuliani is not a real attorney) want to fight on.
He’s probably get to it sometime after he gets a new lawnmower.
‘If I Were President…I Would Hire A New Lawyer’
Yes, because there’s such a deep pool of willing and qualified candidates, from Cooley Law School alone!
Grassley is a crank and a cranky old man. In crank mode he can out far right fringewith the most extreme of them. In cranky mode he shows his impatience with this current shit show and makes (usually) hilarious digs at Trump/WH. But whenever cranky shows up and makes it into the media - crank is about to show up within 24 hours (often within hours). Weird sort of sense of balance?
Regardless, Cranky snark aimed at Spanky - made me laugh.
Damned little of what Trump does or says is a mystery. You can tie his actions to some stimuli he’s experienced, like a charged needle touched to a flatworm.
The very fact Trump is tweeting about a self pardon baldly means he’s gaming out scenarios to employ such an act. This is not idle banter. It’s in the works, a fail-safe if needed.
Grassley is dotty, Giuliani is a doofus, Trump is a dotard.
Don’t worry, peeps. After someone changes Chuck’s Depends adult diaper this afternoon, he’ll be back to sucking Trump’s balls in no time.
Dotty, Doofus, and Dotard: the three Palin reindeer that Santa booted from the sleigh.
“When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal.” Richard Nixon.
Yes, Chuck, the president should hire a new(er) lawyer . . . and Iowa should hire a new senator.
Hey, Chucky! Is the shooting of James Comey by Donald Trump as bad as the Obamacare Death Panels?
Inquiring minds want to know!!!
The 2018 Axis of Evil!!
The United States should just hire a new Iowa.
