Iāve never seen an executiveās desk that empty before.
Is it just me or is he on a roll today? Something is coming.
or a head, heart & soulā¦
Iāve felt like that for a while now. Yet here we areā¦
define ātargetā?
As I understand it the DOJ regs specifically define ātargetā and when one is a target of a GJ investigation, they must receive a letter advising them they are a target. If the POTUS cannot be indicted by DOJ policy,he canāt be a ātargetā of the GJ investigation, right?
So, maybe the subtlety of this comment is just lost on Trump.
Itās like the Wizard of Oz.
If he clicks his heels three times and repeats, āI am not a targetā, heās free!
Now Jr., Jared and Ivanka, howeverā¦
No, heās not a target of the Mueller investigation. Thatās what the SDNY is for.
or the NYS AG ā¦
About as reliable as the old āsome people sayāā¦ when Trump says anyone said anything nice/positive/not-condemning of him.
Yes, we are in a semantics game here.
Now the question is, does Donnie two scoops know or is he in wishful la-la land on his criminal legal exposure?
I say he knows or he wouldnāt be trying so hared to obstruct the FBI in their efforts to investigate.
It is propaganda for rubes.
Trump is so lacking in curiosity that he didnāt even read āThe Presidency For Dummies.ā
Are prosecutors bound by some sort of law to inform the target?
āRod told me Iām not a target of the investigation. ā¦ The lawyers ask him. They say, āHeās not a target of the investigation,āā he said, later saying he didnāt know when Rosenstein had communicated that."
previously
I think itās worth noting the difference between āTrump claims Rosenstein assured himā and āTrump claims Rostenstein assured his attorneysā.
To the extent we can be confident that Trump will lie to your face about or simply not remember a conversation in which he was personally participating, we can be considerably more confident Trump will lie to our face about or simply have no idea what happened in a conversation he didnāt hear.
Just the empty ramblings of the senile grandpa weāve put in charge of all of our nuclear weapons, NBD
Iām oddly fascinated by the āthreeā part. Seems so biblical, like Peterās three denials of Jesusā¦
Thatās because publisher IDG hasnāt made into flash cards, yet.
Deja Vu all over again.
Whether investigators and prosecuters consider you the target of a sprawling inquiry is a determination subject to change literally from day to day, depending on the fruits of said investigation. Todayās āNot a targetā is tomorrowās āThis bastard is going down!ā
It seems like the timing of such comments, if they happened at all, would be very important. After all, the reason Comey wouldnāt publicly say that Dump wasnāt under investigation was because he knew that would change in the future.
