Lawyers For Oligarch Source Of Pro-Trump Docs Also Represent Journo Who Pubbed Them | Talking Points Memo

The pro-Trump lawyer couple that helped Rudy Giuliani look for political dirt in Ukraine is also representing the conservative journalist that first published some of that dirt, Politico reported Thursday.

These two make Guiliani look like a piker. They are the trashiest of the trash. They did everything to slime their way into Trump’s orbit and after all Donnie’s lawyers ended up quitting or in jail they rose to the top. Reprehensible.

If you pulled that crap at any legitimate news outlet you’d be out on the sidewalk with your stuff in a box the same day they found out about it.

Solomon’s articles are obviously propaganda, and it’s no surprise that they were being fed to US media from Firtash. The more they turn over this rock, the more we see the links between all the worms under it…all of it stinks, and it’s starting to build a real link between Trumpworld and the Russian mafia/oligarch/Putin world. I know it may take more time for the Democrats to pull the threads to link all of that together, but it’s really looking like a critical aspect of the Ukrainian investigation. And, honestly, I would love to watch the Republican party try to defend Trump’s connections to Russia when they are brought out into the open, though my popcorn budget would have to increase.

Personally, I think that Hunter Biden should pull a full Melania, and sue Giuliani, Solomon, Firtash, and Digenova and Toensing in British court for libel and slander.

Whatever happened to John Solomon anyway? I used to read his tinfoil pieces on The Hill but they disappeared about a month ago. Cement boots? Swimming with the fishes? Out to pasture? Anybody know?

If anything has happened to him, it has not affected his ability to tweet.

Yep, and the question now is do/why any Dems still talk to The Hill reporters or give them the time of day? Actually, I’m not even sure if they do since The Hill mostly recycles and quotes other outlets reporting rather than doing their own. But still that org should be on any Dems shit list until they stop being a conservative conspiracy mouthpiece.

interpreted, that means he was unceremoniously fired, but allowed to leave with dignity if he signed a non-disclosure agreement.

of course, almost immediately, he hooked up with FoxNews as a “contributor” (read right-wing welfare recipient)

So the TV lawyers represent Trump and Firtash and, from the middle, they manufacture false declarations/evidence and have it published so that their foreign client can smear their President/client’s political opponents. I am not sure how all of this amounts to providing lawful legal representation. It seems more like participation in a crime and fraud.

Remember all those years ago when Hillary talked about a ‘Right-Wing Conspiracy’ and the nation snickered at her…:thinking:

This all falls under the RICO statutes, but with a corrupted DOJ run by one of the chief criminals in the RICO violations, I don’t hold out much hope of EVER seeing any indictments under RICO, or any other statutes.

I had to take The Hill off my twitter . The resounding pile of bullshit they generated every 2 minutes cannot be tolerated. I suspect they recruited some Russians for assistance

It was during the impeachment.

I’d suggest that most of the snickering you heard came from the elite media, and for obvious reasons.

The nation as a whole thought the impeachment was silly but, as for her statement, I don’t know if people really focused on it in any sustained way. Maybe they did.
