Trump should avoid testifying under oath at all costs.
Jay Sekulow, a member of President Donald Trump’s legal team, on Sunday aired a new defense for Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting with a Russian lawyer who promised him damaging information on Hillary Clinton: The Secret Service should not have “allowed these people in” to meet with Trump’s eldest son.
“I wonder why the Secret Service, if this was nefarious, why the Secret Service allowed these people in,” Sekulow said.
Uh, Jay, I think the Secret Service protects the president and candidates from people who seek to harm them. These Russians were obviously friendly and were there to help (although now that you’ve brought it up, if the Secret Service has records of who was there and how long the meeting lasted, that would be interesting).
Secret Service’s job is to protect president and clown family from harm, not from stepping own their own dicks.
Ah yes, the party of personal responsibility.
Brilliant! Best strategy yet! Blame the people with the thankless task of protecting the president with their lives. Piss off the people who have intimate details of PP’s private life. There’s just no way they’re getting tired of looking the other way. No way. And I can’t think of a single reason, not one, why someone would get fed up and leak the name(s) of the ladies (of the night) who keep popping up at his golf courses when he’s in town. Nope, never gonna happen.
Junior’s new defense: “It’s not illegal because the cops allowed me to do it!”
That’ll fly…
Trump is definitely getting his money’s worth from his lawyers…considering he often doesn’t pay them.
Eh? I guess he is rounding up?
Count Cockulow plays a lawyer on wingnut radio, so he’s going to throw all kinds of idiocy against the wall. The appropriate response in cases like this is to laugh and say “is that all you’ve got? Really?”
What the fuck. The Secret Service isn’t there to protect you from politically disatrous mistakes.
Even if they did have access, its not their jobs or their business to police the president, or his family’s, contacts and decide which meetings are acceptable either politically or legally. I’m sure that since the SS was first implemented there have been many, many SS men and woman who’ve shaken their heads and thought to themselves, “This is really, really stupid.”
We’re going to whine so much you’ll get tired of all the whining.
I blame Harry Truman for not dropping an Acme anvil on Joseph Stalin’s head.
Hey, that’s what Bugs Bunny would have done.
See, Jay? Anyone can use fucknut logic!
And if we’re going to be thinking up scenarios such as this, like we just drank cocktails of mescaline, 151 rum, and Drano, let’s also blame the Secret Service for allowing Trump to ascend to the presidency in the first place.
I could play this fucking game for hours, Jay. Thanks for this little Sunday morning divertimento!
Jackie Kennedy wouldn’t allow the Secret Service to stay too close to John, Jr., even to the point where he got mugged and his bike stolen as a child in Central Park. "He has to learn about life and the consequences of his actions and that is not why the Secret Service is there, " she said at the time.
Oh, such a different era.
Yes, I know if I was a supremely despised international leader, I would really, really want my lawyer pissing off the people who are supposed to protect me from harm.
Now, let’s resume screaming about Kathy Griffin posing with Trump’s severed head.
He didn’t have the political access that Bugs had.
“Sir, that’s illegal.”
“Fuck you, I own property in Manhattan!!!”
rickjones hit this one dead on. Every time this team opens it’s mouth they give the investigators more sources of verifiable information. If the Secret Service was there the special prosecutor can now question them. Nothing like giving the prosecution solid leads.
