Discussion: Trump's Personal Lawyers Working On Rebuttal Report To Mueller's Probe

That’s nonsensical. Not only do they manifestly have no earthly clue what Mueller knows, and therefore what such a report might look like, they surely have not been informed of what Trump and his innermost circle know.

So what possible fact-based counter-report could be issued? Anything that could possibly stem from such an effort is just a bunch of shit-flinging in an attempt to discredit Mueller and his team. Binders full of ad hominims.

If this is the best tasking Trump can think of for his legal team, he is actually in even deeper shit than I imagined.

My thoughts exactly. No wonder 26 sources are saying they are completely unprepared for what is coming. It would be funny if not so pathetic. I take that back, it is funny because it is so pathetic.

Well, that’s sure to be a marvel of legal brilliance.

personal stationary,

No, personal stationery.

Giuliani told the Beast that if it exceeds 100 pages it will include an executive summary.

100 pages? An executive summary?

hahahahahaha!

Smart. I once beat a murder rap after my lawyer wrote a scathing report attacking the DA’s sense of style and musical taste. The judge said he didn’t have any choice but to dismiss the charges immediately.

It’s so much better to get a Fox News lawyer than the real kind because they know how to hit where it hurts instead of wasting time with legal mumbo-jumbo like “facts” and “laws”.

I wonder if Putin&Co are really writing the “rebuttal”. No doubt it will be filled with egregious claims that the Mueller investigation is illegal due to Mueller ? not liking Trump? And it will probably have huge tracts of racist dogwhistles trumpet blasts.

That may actually be true once all the GOP/Putin chosen judges are installed.

You know, it dawned on me the other day that I haven’t heard or seen any more “no collusion no collusion you’re the collusion” for at least 2 weeks.

Great. You just reminded me of the Manafort judge. It was all fun and games until “oligarch” became a dirty word.

I imagine Helsinki’s a factor, and they may fear it won’t age well given the Manafort and Cohen news.

This is my weekly reminder that EVERYTHING Giuliani says and does has one, and only one objective: supporting and inflaming right wing opinion in a way that raises the specter of civil disorder and violence if Trump is impeached or indicted. That is their whole strategy.

Every thing he says or does that seems ridiculous or inexplicable to sane people is explained by this model. Like Trump before him, he is not talking to anyone but the idiots.

nice observation.

maybe those keys wore out on tRUmp’s twitterer device

or maybe it becomes, “collusion is not illegal, campaigns collude all the time, so they are incapable of colluding, besides, nothing came from the collusion so how could it be illegal?” followed by the ubiquitous race baiting distraction, of course

Rebuttal Report:

“No Collusion!
No Obstruction!
RIGGED WITCH HUNT!
Doesn’t matter anyway. Waddaya gonna do about it.
The End”

But, really … if you did nothing wrong, why do you need a rebuttal report? Are you going to rebut the finding that Russia interfered in the election? With what ‘evidence’?

I don’t know - I rather think they’ve given up on everything - they’re going to go with “Yeah he’s guilty, so what?”
