Today’s Trump Watch: Baby spits up his usual mess.
I am VERY happy with my lawyers, John Dowd, Ty Cobb and Jay Sekulow. They are doing a great job and…have shown conclusively that there was no Collusion
Faint praise when the best thing you can say about your defense team is that they have shown conclusively that you are not guilty of something that is not a crime.
He seems to be forgetting Roy Moore, the credibly accused teen molester.
Exactly. Wonder why he and his people never use the phrase conspired with Russia?
(answer: because he did it and it’s a crime … a biggie crime)
Usually, if I tell a client I won’t take his or her case, I don’t change my mind. Why would Emmett Flood? As a career move?
Anyway, Trump doesn’t need an impeachment lawyer. He needs an indictment lawyer.
I am VERY happy with my lawyers, John Dowd, Ty Cobb and Jay Sekulow. They are doing a great job and…
O good. Stick with them then.
and have shown conclusively there is no Collusion.
Well no, Trump, they haven’t done that at all. You don’t get to put a defense case on until you are charged with something. They haven’t shown shit. It’s up to the government to prove you were a conspirator; it’s actually not up to your lawyers to show you weren’t, except by destroying the government’s proof. We aren’t even close to that yet.
But we’re closer than Trump is comfortable with.
I know that setting Trump straight is a fool’s errand, but: just off the top of my head, I recall two face-to-face interviews that Maggie “No Access” Haberman has had with him, one of them after he took office.
O yes that’s true. He’s squirming like a worm trying to dig down in the dirt to keep from ending up on a fish hook.
That was yesterday… Presumably this means he’s putting her in time out?
I know. I feel as if he sent Maggie Haberman a private message: “Wink, wink. Thanks, and your fee has been deposited. So sorry about that check bouncing issue the last few times.”
I despise Maggie Haberman, despite some people on this site who try to convince me she isn’t a hack. Which is why I found this headline at Eschaton so delicious:
Oh, and I do not defend Trump’s criticism of Ms. Haberman, even though I think she’s a lousy journalist. I just believe every time Haberman writes anything whatsoever to do with anything involving Trump, she should first say: I AM WRITING A BOOK ABOUT DONALD TRUMP THAT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE ME A TON OF MONEY SO I CAN WRITE EVEN MORE STUPID THINGS AND STILL BE EMPLOYED BY THE NYT JUST LIKE DAVID BROOKS AND FEMINIST ICON GLENN THRUSH AND CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVIST BARI WEISS AND ENVIROMENTALIST BRET STEPHENS.
As should any other journalist doing the same thing about any other politician. I just believe Trump’s smackdown was a sweet little bon-bon of schadenfreude and a warning not to fall in love with your subject because they might make your life better.
This is just WWE wrestling bullshit. Haberman has been notoriously soft on Trump since the campaign-this creates a false tension, works the rubes up, maybe gets Haberman to go a little easier still, maybe gives her some street cred among the many who view her as an enabler. Rinse and repeat.
I loved pro wrestling as a teenager, but this is no way to run the world.
Right?!? When the orange cretin has POed Haberman he has lost another person who was trying desperately to give him the benefit of the doubt in the battle over false equivalency. Good on Maggie for firing back at him and look out for her future reporting. She and “lazy eyed Chuck Todd” are now justified in going on the offensive against the dotard.
Worth watching The real Trump Whitehouse
roflmfao!! proof that he’s a man of the people and doesn’t stand on false ceremony 
Thanks, that cured my hiccups. 
Well, I’m back. Who knows for how long. And the rumors of my demise have been grossly exaggerated and totally a made up “legend” promulgated by the “Deep State” (or possibly Deepak Chopra).
But none of that matters. I think you should all be aware that I am deeply depressed and discontented with the state of current affairs, which has been unremittingly silly.
So hear, all, mon cri du coeur:
“You, Trump and your claquish, clown-car of insufferable GOP uber-assholes, drop the fuck dead! And may the miasma of the odiferous gases of your decomposing corpses, including, but not restricted to, putrescine and cadaverine, forever envelop and closely adhere to your misbegotten progeny for an indefinite period of time!!”
Thank you all for listening. I’ll be back again when the time is right.
Hmm. Very interesting that Haberman points out that Emmet Flood may have turned him down.
Flood has been highly praised by everyone (Preet Bahara, Jill Wine-Banks, Lawrence Tribe et al.). And it wouldn’t surprise me if he turned down the Poster Boy for Loose Cannons.
As everybody and their dog has pointed out, Cockholster is a terrible client because 1) he won’t follow advice and 2) doesn’t pay his bills. Add to that mix the he’s walking dead meat, that Flood would tell him to FO&D wouldn’t be too much of a surprise.
It’s also worth noting that Ty Cobb has indicated that he’s leaving the ball team because he’s “done all that he can do.” Hi ho. And so it goes.
