Thrillhouse/Hushpuppy and his socks are in TOTAL MELTDOWN MODE and it's HILARIOUS!

No doubt about it, I cannot imagine a more horrific job than being Trump's lawyer. Not only are you certain he's not going to listen to your advice to keep him out of legal peril, you toil under the certainty of knowing when the shit hits the fan he's going to turn around and blame you for it and use it as justification NOT to pay you.

I think I met a person once who actually believed that.

At first I thought there was just no way, but this guy would take so much offense when I casually labeled Trump a serial liar that he kept trying to argue with me for months that Trump never really lies, it's just the media that lies about him lying.

It was a really circular and insane argument, but it finally convinced me this guy had to be legit. No one would waste their time trying to insist the liar-in-chief doesn't lie when he provides new inculpatory evidence on almost a moment by moment rolling basis every morning on twitter.

HAHAHA!

That's some funny shit.

That would have been fun watching Guliani get ripped to pieces by Trump after that interview until they decided to brainstorm and come up with this new cover story lie to try and explain away his old lie to make it seem like he wasn't lying.

I think it might be worse for him going down this road of pretending like Cohen had access to some slush fund set up by the president to kill stories he'd rather not know about. Campaign finance laws and the regulations that govern them don't look very kindly on slush funds of this kind.

Nixon had a slush fund that funded the deviant and illegal activities of the crack team of thugs he assembled to burgle Watergate and commit other crimes; he used it to buy their ongoing silence while the scandal took him down. If Trump set up such a fund for Cohen he would be an absolute fool to tip off investigators to its existence. It would be the gift horse that would keep gifting a hard paper trail of payments and payoffs for sketchy services rendered by Cohen with Trumps guilty fingerprints all over the crimes.

Makes me wonder if Guliani is really suggesting this is what Trump set up for Cohen to maintain plausible deniability.

Giuliani better pack his bags! He’s soon outta a job!

You're the only one talking about Russia in this thread.

Mueller isn't investigating it. He just referred it to others.

Besides, remember when Starr investigated Clinton?

He was impeached just for lying about an affair he was having. Nothing to do with the original purpose of the investigation.

Special prosecutors are allowed to investigate other crimes they come across.

lolz. Yeah as soon as you figure out Mueller does not hand Gates a sweetheart plea deal only one month removed from Gates reportedly lying to his face in proffer negotiations without giving up some major state's evidence corroborating Trump's participation in criminal collusion with Russia. Mueller had all the leverage and Gates had none, with even less leverage after being caught lying to Mueller in a proffer. He had to give up even more than he was originally willing after firing 3 of his attorneys to negotiate against their advice. No way he comes out of that with the hand slap he got instead of 34 criminal counts he had been charged with unless he was ready to testify to his role as Trump's co-conspirator in collusion with Russia.

There is no conceivable alternative explanation given his and Manafort's longtime association with "person A" in charging court documents. Everyone who has followed this case closely (not you obviously) knows "person A" can only be Russian GRU intel officer Konstantin Kilimnik who had since fled back to Russia on his outing.

Just remember this moment when the extent of his cooperation in his plea become public, along with testimonies from Papadopoulos and Flynn as cooperating witnesses with their own extensive and well documented contacts with Russia and have also plead guilty in their own separate deals. Its been obvious even to many Republican legal scholars not consumed by partisan obstinacy that Mueller has been building a rock solid case for collusion. The day of reckoning for trump and his army of trumptards is coming.
