I just saw this also. Agreed. Very powerful. What leadership looks like.

Sometimes it almost seems as if Mr. Kushner is trying to hide certain things from the American public. But then I remember that these all must just be honest mistakesāheās such a busy man!āand that the problem here is my mis-perception. Iām so bad sometimes to have these sorts of doubts about someone who is doing so much to MAGA. Maybe Mr. Trump could introduce some cultural re-training program to help those of us who are tempted to fall into errors?

Iām saying that when youāre working for crooks and weasels, you are Caesarās wife. The crookeder the client, the more imperative that your own conduct be above all reproach in matters great and small. Doesnāt mean you have to be a Boy Scout. It just means that everything you do has to be strictly in conformance with the law and the rules of ethics.
Representing any other kind of client, āI have a good faith argument Iām in conformanceā is good enough, but when your clients are crooks, you make yourself a potential suspect. Itās not a lesson the kind of people who tend to end up as White House counsel tend to get much prior experience with, so itās a bit of a trap. I think thatās what happened to this bunch.
In many cases,adhering to that standard will get you fired eventually, depending on how stupid and crooked the weasels are, because crooks and weasels who are both stupid and really crooked expect their lawyers to be crooked weasels, particularly when they have previously been successfully represented by crooked weasel lawyers. But if you get them at their first brush with the law, make it clear to them that this is how it has to be done to protect their interests as much as your own and then manage to get them a result they deem acceptable, they can be trained.
Trump expects all his lawyers to be crooked weasels and is enraged when they refuse to be so. Though his usual response to lawyers who wonāt break the rules for him seems to be to lie to them rather than fire them.

Nice clarification, thanks. Iām in agreement.
To clarify on my end my snark was just that if you work for crooks and weasels, expect trouble i.e. you lay down with dogsā¦
These guys (the WHCO lawyers) went in with eyes open (that they were working for a crooked weasel). While real I have no sympathy for their dilemmas. Sucks to work for a treason weasel.
In the law biz, if there werenāt crooks and weasels, thereād be no biz.
Well, okay, thereād be business, but a lot less of it.

It doesnāt matter if McGhann believes theyāre relevant or not ā¦ few if any of Hillaryās were of any substance whatsoever, yet they pounded her for months about it.
Dishonest crooks all.
Genetically superior. Ha!
That depends, I have not seen any info on this story anywhere that indicates if the private accounts were āgmailā type accounts, of if these people had their own private server(s)? If the former, I would think they are all recoverable, and if the WH does not turn them over Mueller could get a warrant for them and server it to google, yahoo, or whoever.
Well, it looks as if Hilary goes to jail, sheāll have a lot of company from the Rump spelt with a t administration.
Iām trying to see those two (picture above) in orange.
So if the White House Counselās office is only just now reviewing the relevance of emails from the secret private accounts, but Kushnerās lawyer told ABC News that
āWe did review this account at the time and there were no responsive or relevant documents thereā
does that mean that Abbe and McGahn are not working together? And do the leaks mean that PP and Kushner are beginning to spar?
How delightful.
Wow. Five minutes, folks. Watch it.

O/T, but Iām not sure that everyone is aware that Preet Bharara has a new podcast series.
Here is a link to the third podcast in the series, which features an interview with Lisa Monaco, who has worked for Janet Reno, Vice President Biden, and President Obama, and was Chief of Staff for Robert Mueller for three years:
