Are Mr. Trump's Lawyers Cerebral Suitcases Completely Empty?

You want real analysis about what is really going on behind, around, below, and on top of, Robert Mueller's investigation into the Trumpian world (dis)order?

If so, you should be reading Marcy Wheeler's blog, which shows up over on the blog crawl, regularly.

Here's a little chunk from her latest post on the White House/Trump's legal team's response to the recent NYT and WaPo reports that Michael Flynn's fine fellows are no longer speaking to them:

...There’s something really funny about the White House’s confirmation that Flynn pulled out of the joint defense agreement, along with their pathetic claims this doesn’t mean Trump is in trouble.

(Because) confirming to the press that Flynn pulled out of the joint defense agreement involves confirming that the White House had a joint defense agreement with his lawyers. And that entails confirming that the President is being targeted in matters closely tied to Flynn’s own actions...



Gosh.

Can you imagine...

General Flynn playing the part of little Johnny Dean?

If that actually turns out to be the case we may not even need oval office tapes to hear from most, if not all, of the current presidents' men (and women) as they jump ship.

Trump knew.

I recall a press conference where president Trump was questioned about Flynn's activities and Trump said something to the effect of --
"That was Flynn's job - talk to foreign governments. I didn't know he was doing it but if he wasn't doing it, I would have told him to."
In a round-about way, Trump admitted to knowing - otherwise he wouldn't have known NOT to instruct Flynn to do so.

The twisted workings of a government going down in flames.

Thanks RossK!!!!

In answer to the question, - “Empty Cerebral suitcases” I would take a wild stab and say yes.

Ignoring the principal of the ten foot pole as it relates to Trump, any of them, surely would have been enough without anything else added to the list.


The smart ones.
