Sean Hannity actually has THREE lawyers in common with Donald Trump.

Nothing to see here, nothing! Now stop looking for something!

Sean Hannity has had no shortage of lawyers. In court on Monday, his name was disclosed as the third “mystery client” of Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen. Though Hannity says he was never actually Cohen’s client, he does appear to have used the legal services of other well-connected Trump-world lawyers in a different matter a year ago. 

On May 25, 2017, KFAQ, a radio station based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, received a cease-and-desist letter signed by two lawyers for Hannity: Victoria Toensing and Jay Alan Sekulow. Toensing’s signature sits above her name and that of her husband Joseph E. diGenova, the members of diGenova and Toensing LLP, who are identified as “Counsel for Sean Hannity,” according to a copy of the letter obtained by The Atlantic. 

Sekulow is also identified in the letter page as a “Counsel for Sean Hannity.” Sekulow is now the only known personal attorney for President Trump working full-time on the response to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s inquiry. Sekulow recently announced that diGenova and Toensing had been hired to join him, before reversing course. 

The letter to the radio station was sent before Sekulow joined Trump’s team. The letter was sent in response to accusations against Hannity made by the controversial conservative activist Debbie Schlussel. During an appearance on the Pat Campbell show on KFAQ last April, Schlussel said Hannity had been “creepy” towards her and had invited her to his hotel room.

It should be noted that even though diGenova could not join Trump's team due to "conflicts of interest," reports are that he is still giving Trump legal advice.

Another thing to be noted is that both Sekolow...

...and diGenova have been frequent guests on the Sean Hannity Show.

And yes, the topic has often been the Mueller investigation.

So to be clear Hannity consistently invites his lawyers on TV to defend Donald Trump who is also seeking their legal counsel.

Well it's a good thing there is no conflict of interest here.

As the Robert Mueller Russia probe moves forward Donald Trump's legal team is in tatters.

Jay Sekulow

As President Trump heads into one of the most critical phases of the special counsel’s investigation, his personal legal team has shrunk to essentially just one member, and he is struggling to find any top lawyers willing to represent him. 

Working for a president is usually seen as a dream job. But leading white-collar lawyers in Washington and New York have repeatedly spurned overtures to take over the defense of Mr. Trump, a mercurial client who often ignores his advisers’ guidance. In some cases, lawyers’ firms have blocked any talks, fearing a backlash that would hurt business. 

The president lost two lawyers in just the past four days, including one who had been on board for less than a week.

That one remaining lawyer is Jay Sekulow who is essentially a legal spokesperson more than a lawyer at this point, and is wholly unqualified to handle such a complicated and important case.

However Trump's attempts to hire more legal muscle is simply not working out too well.

Courtesy of the Daily Beast:

Two more high-power attorneys have had to turn down President Donald Trump. Tom Buchanan and Dan Webb confirmed to The Daily Beast that Trump reached out to them about representing him, and that they couldn’t do it. 

“President Trump reached out to Dan Webb and Tom Buchanan to provide legal representation,” they said in a statement. “They were unable to take on the representation due to business conflicts. However they consider the opportunity to represent the President to be the highest honor and they sincerely regret that they cannot do so. They wish the president the best and believe he has excellent representation in Ty Cobb and Jay Sekulow.”

 Actually Ty Cobb's work to produce legal documentation for the Mueller team is essentially finished and there are questions concerning his ability, or his desire to continue to help defend Trump as the walls start closing in.

Remember it was Cobb who said that this investigation would have ended by Thanksgiving 2016.

I actually think that at some point Trump will find a lawyer or two to defend him in this Russia case, but they will likely be one step up from ambulance chasers who will be quickly ground to dust by Mueller's top notch legal eagles.

Trump attorney says that president is not talking about pardons, while at the same time his new spokesperson is saying he JUST had a conversation with Trump about pardons.

Courtesy of Red State: 

The president in that tweet stated something that is rather unremarkable, that is, under the Constitution, Article II, Section 2, the President has the authority to pardon. But, I want to be clear on this, George, we have not, and continue to have not, conversations with the President of the United States regarding pardons. Pardons have not been discussed and pardons are not on the table. With regard to the issue of a president pardoning himself, there’s a big academic discussion going on right now, an academic debate. You’ve got Professor Tribe arguing one point, you’ve got Professor Turley arguing another point, and while it makes for interesting academic discussions, let me tell you what the legal team is not doing. We’re not researching the issue, because the issue of pardons is not on the table. There is nothing to pardon from.

Well there you go then. This is all just made up fake news that is not backed up by any fac.......wait what just happened?

Courtesy of Raw Story: 

Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace asked Scaramucci why Trump tweeted about his “complete power” to pardon last week if no crimes had been committed. 

“Why even talk about pardons?” Wallace wondered. 

“This is one of those things about Washington, the convolution and the nature of things,” Scaramucci explained. “I’m in the Oval Office with the president last week and we were talking about that, he says he brought that up, but he doesn’t have to be pardoned, there’s nobody around him that has to be pardoned. He was just making the statement about the power of the pardon.” 

“Now, all of the speculation and all of the spin is he’s going to pardon himself,” he added. “The president does not need to pardon himself. And the reason he doesn’t need to pardon himself is he hasn’t done anything wrong.”

Sooooo Mooch was in the Oval Office talking about the subject that his attorney swears has never come up?

Well good thing we got that cleared up.

By the way his Mooch guy seems to essentially see his job as similar to the job performed by the spokesman for the North Korean dictator.

there’s been a lot of lies from the White House but “trump is a phenomenal athlete” might take the cake pic.twitter.com/ru5YIfZvCi

In other words his Trumpiness is perfect in every way, and any claims to the contrary are to be ignored as "fake news."

Oh this should be fun.

Trump attorney suggests that Donald Trump Jr. meeting with Russians was not nefarious because Secret Service did not interfere. SS crushes that argument.

So this is the argument put forward by Trump attorney Jay Sekulow on various Sunday news program yesterday.

On its face it is kind of ridiculous since the Secret Service is supposed to protect candidates and their families from physical harm, not stupid choices.

However as it turns out the SS has an even better reason why they did not protect Junior from himself.

Courtesy of The Hill: 

The Secret Service responded on Sunday to President Trump’s personal lawyer Jay Sekulow’s claim that Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting with a Russian lawyer during the campaign would not have happened if the Secret Service had considered it “nefarious.” 

“If this was nefarious, why'd the Secret Service allow these people in?” Sekulow asked on ABC’s “This Week.” 

"The president had Secret Service protection at that point," he said. "That raised a question with me.” However, that protection did not extend to Trump Jr. at the time, according to the Secret Service. 
"Donald Trump, Jr. was not a protectee of the USSS in June, 2016. Thus we would not have screened anyone he was meeting with at that time,” Secret Service spokesman Mason said in a statement to Reuters on Sunday.

So to be clear so far the line of defense for Junior taking this meeting are that Hillary Clinton may have received town hall questions early and the not yet assigned Secret Service agents did not stop the Russians from meeting with Donnie Jr, Jared Kushner, and Paul Manafort.

This is all like an SNL skit come to life.

Trump attorney now claims that he is not under investigation by the Special Counsel, after his boss admitted he was. Update!

Jay Sekulow

Courtesy of Politico:  

President Donald Trump is not under investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller, a member of his legal team said Sunday morning. 

"The president is not under investigation by the special counsel," Jay Sekulow, a member of President Trump’s legal team, told “Meet the Press” moderator Chuck Todd. He also made similar comments to Jake Tapper on CNN's "State of the Union."

Well this is odd since on Friday Trump tweeted this:

I am being investigated for firing the FBI Director by the man who told me to fire the FBI Director! Witch Hunt

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 16, 2017

But of course the lawyer had an excuse for that as well: 

"The tweet from the president was in response to the five anonymous sources that were purportedly leaking information to The Washington Post about a potential investigation of the president," Sekulow said. "But the president, as James Comey said in his testimony and as we know as of today, the president has not been and is not under investigation." 

“He's not afraid of the investigation. There is no investigation,” Sekulow added. 

Uh huh.

So are we to believe the tweets of a man who lies with almost every breath, or the man who is hired to cover for that man when he inadvertently tells the truth?

In the meantime there are reports that Trump is hiding out at Camp David, but according to his lawyer NOT from an obstruction investigation being conducted by the Special Counsel.

And of course he is tweeting:

The MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN agenda is doing very well despite the distraction of the Witch Hunt. Many new jobs, high business enthusiasm,..

...massive regulation cuts, 36 new legislative bills signed, great new S.C.Justice, and Infrastructure, Healthcare and Tax Cuts in works!

The new Rasmussen Poll, one of the most accurate in the 2016 Election, just out with a Trump 50% Approval Rating.That's higher than O's #'s!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 18, 2017

The Rasmussen poll?

He is now hiding behind the Rasmussen Poll?

That poll is one of the least reliable polls out there.

 It is essentially the Fox and Friends of political polls. 

It ALWAYS skews in favor of conservatives, and it is typically off by double digits.

But hey whatever Orange Hitler needs to tell himself.

Yes Commander Cheeto, you are not under investigation for obstruction and you are more popular that President Obama. Oh and your golf clothes are very slimming, and your wife tells all of her girlfriends about your prowess in the sack.

Update: And then there's this:

Is EVERYBODY associated with Trump this incompetent.

Never mind, trick question.
