RATS* syndrome strikes again!

Rudy isnā€™t so easy to work with, is he, Mr. Cobbā€¦? Twisted, vile and corrupt thing that he is.

ā€œIt has been an honor to serve THE COUNTRY in this capacity at the White Houseā€.

Thatā€™s why he got fired. Everyone in the Trump administration is supposed to serve Trump, not some esoteric thing like ā€˜the countryā€™ or ā€˜the constitutionā€™.

Interesting:

Retiring during one of the biggest cases of his career?

Planned on retiring several weeks ago? Timeline as to when he joined 45ā€™s team again?

Hmmmmm

Thereā€™s only room for ONE big mustache in this White Houseā€¦

Although, Cobbā€™s is much better.

ā€œIt has been an honor to serve the country in this capacity at the White House,ā€ Cobb told the Times.

Thus validating a slew of tired old tropes we all toss around about the honesty of lawyers.

Ty Cobb out of the hall of shame.

Maybe Diamond and Silk can get quickie law degrees from the diploma mill Cohen attended and bulk up Annoying Orangeā€™s legal team.

This could be another sign that Trump is getting ready to go full-on crazy with firing Rosenstein and Mueller.

Or not. Who knows? Weā€™ll see.

Iā€™m shocked Cobb lasted this long.

Cobbā€™s client was the Office of the POTUS and not Trump. Trump (who thinks the AG should be his personal lawyer) of course is incapable of understanding this distinction. I always had the impression that Cobb was to some extent manipulating Trump to further the investigation as opposed to working against Mueller, et al. Anyone else think this?

Maybe just wishful thinking on my part?

What are the odds Flood is never hired? Iā€™d say itā€™s at best 50-50.

If Trump was getting ready to engage in further obstruction of justice, this is a thing I would expect to see.

I dunno about ā€œbetterā€. Mustaches are pretty much an announcement to the world that youā€™re a douche and hipster fascination with them is proof of that. I once stood behind a hipster asshat with a twirly mustache like Cobbā€™s in the grocery store line, and to top it off, he had SHAVED the same shape into the back of his head to make it look like thatā€™s where it came from. I almost left all my shit right there and walked out, but I figured that would be letting them win, so I braved it and stuck it out.

Fortunately, he left Trump with his official set of prep questions for Mueller.

I was in line behind a guy the other day that had a huge, colorful parrot on his shoulder. Much better than a mustache.

Can anyone explain to me on what basis we are paying for these guys? Really, what are the legal grounds by which the American taxpayers are stuck paying for Trumpā€™s legal counsel?

My theory is that Cobb (who as a federal employee, had to swear an oath to the Constitution) was telling Trump that if he was subpoenaed, he would have to testify.

So they got rid of him, and hired a guy who argued otherwise in the Clinton investigations.
