SHS- “Can you plead the 5th at a news conference?”
What? Princess Hamhocks sent out an underling? Must be still in spin-consultation for today’s presser.
At which she will say, she hasn’t spoken to Current Occupant about it and will get back to the press corps later.
And by “later” she means “never”…
“We’ve addressed this many times,” White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley told Fox News later on Wednesday evening.”
“We were lying our asses off, but we’ve addressed it many times,” he continued.
These people are the dumbest criminals ever with the stupidest spokespeople ever.
Hold it, I thought Rudy is one of Trump’s lawyers; it is coming from the source they’re referring back to, so I guess in this case it is true.
Now, be nice to young master Gidley, they probably hide the most salacious stuff from this young soul…
Sarah Huck must be guzzling whiskey this morning in preparation for the day.
“Hamhocks” is edgy, and perhaps a little insulting to her appearance. Please don’t cross a line and refer to her eyeshadow—ok?
Yeah, he even fucks up fucking. Good little WH staffers do not talk about HUSH money.
Har har hardy har har.
Stable Genius has now flapped his gums to clear up the matter in his usual utterly convincing way. And that having been done, I’m sure we can all get on with whatever we had planned for the morning.
Mr. Cohen, an attorney, received a monthly retainer, not from the campaign and having nothing to do with the campaign, from which he entered into, through reimbursement, a private contract between two parties, known as a non-disclosure agreement, or NDA. These agreements are.....

...very common among celebrities and people of wealth. In this case it is in full force and effect and will be used in Arbitration for damages against Ms. Clifford (Daniels). The agreement was used to stop the false and extortionist accusations made by her about an affair,......

...despite already having signed a detailed letter admitting that there was no affair. Prior to its violation by Ms. Clifford and her attorney, this was a private agreement. Money from the campaign, or campaign contributions, played no roll in this transaction.

HA HA JUST KIDDING I’m sure Avenatti is laughing hysterically and rolling on his living-room carpet like a happy dog at this. “False and extortionist accusations!”
If Rudy is up early enough this morning, maybe he can catch Ty Cobb & they can carpool it out of DC together.
Oh, Sarah. Don’t worry your empty, lying smokey-eyed little head over this. We have PLENTY to say about it!
What kind of lawyer freelances stuff like this? What kind of legal defense team doesn’t research the change in direction ahead of the comment? What kind of media spokeswoman is caught flat footed when the lawyer makes a dumb ass comment like this one? What was Rudy trying to accomplish? Win the news cycle? At this point in all of this how does winning a random news cycle serve Trump’s interests?
The Giuliani blunder is a firing offense. He shouldn’t last the day.
At this point, why bother asking Sister Sarah about anything. Just wait for the tweets to come.
One of the other articles on TPM is about the new Trump lawyer, and is titled “Meet Emmet Flood”.
Yes, meet Emmet Flood, the White House attorney who wants to rip out Rudy Giuliani’s heart with a corkscrew.
Gee, it seems like only yesterday the entire world was obsessed with a female comedian for hurting the fee-fees of the DC press corps for calling them out for being the complicit stenographers that they are. What a difference a bombshell revelation from an incompetent, soul-sucking skull-monster like Rudy can make.
Do not be fooled! It is all part of Trump and Giuliani’s master plan!
It is 11th-dimesional “Chute and Ladders”!
Where is the retainer agreement and where is the invoice from Cohen to Trump showing that he is applying part of his retainer to the repayment? I imagine those documents are to be found in the communications being reviewed by the special master. I am sure that she is now alerted that those documents might be more than privileged attorney client communications and might be evidence of criminal activity to be investigated by the US Attorney.
