| Ty Cobb |
For now, Sekulow and Cobb are sticking to their original strategy. They have advertised their willingness to coöperate with Mueller as a sign that Trump has nothing to hide, and their reaction to Flynn’s guilty plea reflects this view. “Nothing about the guilty plea or the charge implicates anyone other than Mr. Flynn,” Cobb said. With regard to Mueller’s broader investigation, the White House lawyers’ position continues to be that President Trump didn’t commit a crime because no one did—or could—because there is no federal crime called “collusion,” and Rosenstein’s order did not refer to any criminal statutes that may have been violated. In several conversations with me, Sekulow emphasized that collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, even if it did take place, wouldn’t be illegal. “For something to be a crime, there has to be a statute that you claim is being violated,” Sekulow told me. “There is not a statute that refers to criminal collusion. There is no crime of collusion.”
Well now that is certainly a different approach.
Just the other day Trump was claiming to reporters that there was no evidence of collusion after the story broke about Michael Flynn's plea deal.
What the lawyers are saying now kind of sounds like the sovereign citizen argument to me.
"No officer I will not give you my driver's license because I do not recognize your authority to ask for it, and besides speed limits are a deep state conspiracy to control my God given right to drive recklessly."

Hey look the Oatmeal guy. SNL.
ReplyDeleteFirst, apparently the fools are failing to take into account the Constitution says "...for high crimes and misdemeanors..." so it doesn't have to BE a charge of criminal activity. Misdemeanors can cover a HUGE swath of things.
ReplyDeleteSecond, there IS a statute that says getting election assistance from anyone or thing from outside the US is a crime. (Which makes me wonder why a charge has't been made - yet - for his requesting financial assistance from people in the UK. (I think he emailed members of Parliament asking for donations? Or is my memory off?)
And finally, the fools seem to forget it is the indictment or formal charge which stipulates the crime. It doesn't necessarily have to include the word "collusion".
The biggest problem I see from them pushing this crap is his die hard believers. They can start screaming really loudly. It wouldn't affect Mueller, but it might get Congress making moves.
Humpty Trumpty has long had a shady side and this only increases the depth to which he would delve.
You are on target, the trump base will swallow this crap! Duh,yeah, whatzzz a collusion!

ReplyDeleteFacebook Is Banning Women for Calling Men ‘Scum’
ReplyDeleteWomen had accounts banned from Facebook for responding to male trolls with sentences like ‘men are trash,’ in part because the company classifies white men as a protected group.
When comic Marcia Belsky sarcastically replied “men are scum” to a friend’s Facebook post back in October, she never anticipated being banned from the platform for 30 days.
That was exactly what happened.
Belsky was shocked at the severity of the punishment considering her relatively innocuous comment, and immediately spoke to her fellow female friends about the ordeal. They could relate.
In the wake of the #MeToo movement, countless women have taken to Facebook to express their frustration and disappointment with men and have been promptly shut down or silenced, banned from the platform for periods ranging from one to seven days.
Women have posted things as bland as “men ain’t shit,” “all men are ugly,” and even “all men are allegedly ugly” and had their posts removed. They’ve been locked out of their accounts for suggesting that, since “all men are ugly,” country music star Blake Shelton “winning the sexiest man isn’t a triumph.”
“I personally posted men are scum in November and I received a seven day ban. It’s still ongoing. Two days and 23 hours left,” said comedian Alison Klemp.
Kayla Avery, a comedian in Boston said she’s been banned close to 10 times by Facebook and is currently serving out the end of her third 30-day ban.
One of the first times she got banned was when her page was flooded with male trolls calling her derogatory and sexist terms. Avery posted “men continue to be the worst” she said, because she said she “felt helpless to stop their hate.”
“There was one guy who was threatening to find my house and beat me up,” she said. “I got banned before I could even successfully report it.”
In late November, after the issue was raised in a private Facebook group of nearly 500 female comedians, women pledged to post some variation of “men are scum” to Facebook on Nov. 24 in order to stage a protest. Nearly every women who carried out the pledge was banned.
“It wasn’t the best protest because it clearly didn’t work,” said Klemp. Avery said she is still suffering the consequences after posting “men are trash” on that day.

Delete‘Who’s Next?’: The Mysterious Blind-Item King Who Exposed Weinstein, Spacey, and Lauer Before the Media
DeleteA talk with the anonymous entertainment lawyer who’s called out some of Hollywood’s biggest creeps.
“Who’s next?”
It’s the only question that anyone who is obsessed with media, celebrity, and justice has been asking ever since Oct. 5, the day the Harvey Weinstein story broke, unleashing a neverending tidal wave of truth-telling in the media—and across social media—regarding past incidents of sexual assault, sexual harassment, and the many intimidation tactics used to cover those secrets up.
For a dedicated group of commenters over at a website called Crazy Days and Nights, run by an anonymous entertainment lawyer who goes by the name “Enty Lawyer,” the speculation is particularly rampant. Why? Because he has been calling out many of Hollywood’s now-ostracized sexually misbehaving elite, sometimes years in advance of the mainstream media.
“If you had been reading @entylawyer, you’d have known about Matt Lauer. And Harvey. And Kevin Spacey. Just saying,” tweeted New York professional Sara Zucker. Or as investigative journalist Mark Ebner (one of only 20 people who knows the blogger’s real-life identity) observes, “Enty Lawyer is like the anti-Perez Hilton. In my opinion, that’s what makes him so impressive, is that no one knows who he is, and he’s being proven right again and again. That’s like legendary shit.”

DeleteLewandowski's New Trump Book Tries To Scrub Out Michael Flynn Entirely
ReplyDelete...Bossie said, "We mentioned Mike Flynn. (Twice in almost three hundred pages) This book went to bed months ago, so, you know the book industry. This books been to bed. We didn't think about that even in the slightest."
Really Bossie? You liar. You mean you didn't want to put Mike Flynn's name in the book most likely knowing full well his future was not going to be a happy one.
On June 19th of 2017, Politico reported, "Corey Lewandowski and David Bossie together are closing in on a high six-figure book deal with Hachette Book Group’s conservative imprint Center Street, a source close to the negotiations said."
They didn't start writing their book until after Flynn had been fired as Trump's NSA for supposedly lying to Mike Pence and after Robert Mueller's special counsel was empaneled on May 17, 2017.
This kind of lie what we can always expect from Trump surrogates.
If they could they would delete every appearance that Flynn had with Trump and in every article ever written on the internet and make believe he was never a trusted and valued member of Trump's team.

DeleteWho Wrote That Flynn Tweet, Trump or Dowd? It Hardly Matters—Both Answers Are Horrible for Trump
ReplyDeleteAnd now Dowd is saying that by definition, a president can’t obstruct justice. Pretty sure there are some people out there who’d beg to differ.
...Is it just me, or would Trump be better off if John Dowd quit talking? Honestly, I’m not sure which constitutes the greater potential liability, John Dowd’s comments to the media or Trump’s Twitter feed.
It is, perhaps, worth restating the obvious: This potentially damning information wouldn’t even be known had Donald Trump not voluntarily injected it into the public sphere. This is a pattern.

little rocket man vs dotard donny drumpf
Trump’s legal team is clearly setting the stage to say the president cannot be charged with any of the core crimes discussed in the Russia probe: collusion and obstruction. Presumably, you wouldn’t preemptively make these arguments unless you felt there was a chance charges are coming.
ReplyDeleteA lawyer wouldn’t be offering a defense before anything has been filed unless they are trying to get out in front of charges that are coming.
The White House has gone from saying that there is nothing to the Russia scandal to claiming that the President can’t be charged with a crime. They’ve gone from screaming witchhunt to arguing that even if he broke the law, Trump can’t be charged.

ReplyDelete"“Hillary Clinton lied many times to the FBI”, Trump told reporters ahead of boarding Marine One for a trip to Utah. “Nothing happened to her. Flynn lied, and they destroyed his life. I think it’s a shame. Hillary Clinton, on the 4th of July weekend, went to the FBI, not under oath. It was the most incredible thing anyone’s ever seen. She lied many times. Nothing happened to her. Flynn lied, and it’s like they ruined his life. It’s unfair.” On Saturday Trump had also tweeted about the indictment, complaining that Flynn pleading guilty showed how the system was “rigged”."
