“The President has a highly qualified team with several individuals that have been part of this process,”
… the team includes the janitor service who are highly qualified at dealing with garbage.
I can still hear the echoes of roars of laughter from the news rooms across the country as the reports/stories about this question at the presser were sent in. As in - the WH expects us to believe this statement - hahahahahahaha (breath) hahahaha… (etc.)
Did she curl her lip and say “Look—it’s obvious that the President’s legal team…”
Note to self: don’t ever use the word “Look” for a cue in a drinking game. This bunch will have you passing out in 5 minutes.
At this juncture, any reputable attorney will stay away from this dumpster fire because the entanglement will cause reputational harm not to mention getting stiffed on attorney’s fees and having a pathological liar as a client who refuses advice that does not align with his delusions, ego and vendettas. Moreover, what attorney wants to be the doormat, fall guy and whipping boy for this impossible to please client who will treat you like toilet paper when it comes time to wipe his ass of the problem.
The New York Times on Sunday reported that Sekulow was the only lawyer of Trump’s “who is working full time on the special counsel’s investigation.”
This is so great. He’s in perfect hands. Lets let him be.
This issue with not being able to find any lawyers willing to defend him…I find it very reassuring. It highlights that no matter how much you lie and try to distort reality, there are some things that aren’t effected by those tactics. In this case, lawyers are making rational decisions based on facts and observations, not talking points and lies.
Trump can no longer attract ‘Highly Qualified’ people of any sort. It’s not just the legal team that’s a bunch of hacks.
She lies so easily. I do hope she’s getting paid a pile of money, because her employment opportunities will be non-existent as soon as she’s out of her current job. Oh, maybe Faux Nooz or Breitbart will hire her; they take anybody.
“…including J. Cheever Loophole, Rufus T. Firefly, and Otis P. Driftwood.”
“And if you don’t like those,” she continued, “well, I have others.”
Wow. One guy versus the federal government’s dream team of prosecutors. Un-effing-believable.
“WH Insists Trump Has ‘Highly Qualified’ Legal Team As Lawyers Say No To Prez.”
If “Highly Qualified” means the same thing as it did under No Child Left Behind, we can read this as barely qualified, or at best, adequately qualified.
“Outside of the White House, I would refer you to Jay Sekulow, who can address any detailed questions on that front,” Sanders said.
More than 15,000 Americans were losing their jobs each day in June 2009, as the US struggled to climb out of a painful recession following its worst financial crisis in decades.
But Jay Sekulow, who is now an attorney to Donald Trump, had a private jet to finance. His law firm was expecting a $3m payday. And six-figure contracts for members of his family needed to be taken care of.
Documents obtained by the Guardian show Sekulow that month approved plans to push poor and jobless people to donate money to his Christian nonprofit, which since 2000 has steered more than $60m to Sekulow, his family and their businesses.
‘Every gift will make a huge difference!’
Telemarketers for the nonprofit, Christian Advocates Serving Evangelism (Case), were instructed in contracts signed by Sekulow to urge people who pleaded poverty or said they were out of work to dig deep for a “sacrificial gift”.
“I can certainly understand how that would make it difficult for you to share a gift like that right now,” they told retirees who said they were on fixed incomes and had “no extra money” – before asking if they could spare “even $20 within the next three weeks”.
In addition to using tens of millions of dollars in donations to pay Sekulow, his wife, his sons, his brother, his sister-in-law, his niece and nephew and their firms, Case has also been used to provide a series of unusual loans and property deals to the Sekulow family.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jun/27/trump-lawyer-jay-sekulow-donationsAccording to its own website the American Center for Law & Justice is “one of the most prestigious law firms in the country” and Sekulow “is an accomplished Supreme Court advocate.”
Even when the bar is very low, Spanky still goes under it.
Lol, surely the laughter was record breaking…No one wants to be on the losing side except 3rd tier ambulance chasers.
What about Dewey, Cheatham and Howe?
Yeah, Judge Jeannie, Ghouliani, Hannity, Limbaugh, Coulter…all HIGHLY qualified! ’
Bwahahahahahhaha! Put a fork in him, he’s done!
Is Dotard somehow confusing porn stars with attorney’s? The roles can be similar, in some circumstances…
For a great many of the people in Trump’s universe reputational harm isn’t a concern. They kicked their reputation to the curb years ago.
