I don't know how Trump supporters feel about his lies
because...honestly...it's getting pretty difficult to find one. At least
anywhere around me. I know they exist obviously but my guess is their
numbers are dwindling to just the hardcore "I could shoot somebody on 5th
Avenue and they would still support me!" crowd.
Of course, I'm always optimistic that people will not believe blatant
lies...and my optimism is often not rewarded.
Anyway, Trump's trail of lies has actually become a wide path of
devastation resulting in firings, subpoenas, indictments, lawyers
quitting, lawyers needing lawyers, and implicating everybody around Trump
in a constant shifting cover-up that makes every one of them look guilty
as hell.
Due to the fact that Trump can't and won't shut-up...he's tweeting,
going
on Fox and Friends and having a meltdown...his lawyers are absolutely
screwed. Hence, why he keeps losing lawyers and is having a really hard
time getting new ones.
I'm a bit confused as to why Bill Clinton's former lawyer, Emmet
Flood,
has agreed to come on board. Trump is a hopeless client that will stab
his own lawyers in the back and is not going to take ANY advice. The word
is they had to beg Flood to join the team and it took months of
negotiating to get him. Well, good luck to Flood as Trump almost
certainly is already calling him Elmer Fudd and he already sat down with
Rudy and they had a private meeting about what Giuliani should go on
Hannity and say...which neither Trump nor Rudy discussed with anybody
else on the legal team nor with anybody else in the White House.
Rudy is Trump's kind of guy...reckless and just looking to stir up
the
media and foul the waters. Mission accomplished but that crap that Rudy
and Donny cooked up was a really bad idea and probably has deepened the
amount of trouble Trump and Cohen are in.
First off, Cohen said "with absolute certainty" that Trump NEVER PAID
HIM
BACK THE $130,000. Now, Rudy comes out and says he did and he did so by
laundering the money through a law firm. It appears that what they did
was just go back and look for whatever money Trump paid Cohen and then
just decided that constituted paying him back with the idea that it would
get them out of the campaign finance violation.
The issue with this is they now have to prove that the $130,000 was
specifically part of whatever payments he made to Cohen, showing exactly
how that amount was accounted for, and now likely due to that what any
other amounts paid to Cohen were for. Trump's idea seems to be to say
that there was an open "slush fund" for Cohen to draw from to make hush
payments or bribes and that he personally did not know what Cohen did
with the money. This is not a good way to go.
Plus there is a paper trail according to Clifford's (Stormy Daniels)
lawyer that states that the payments were specifically campaign related
and so they will still be charged with campaign finance violations for
this...not to mention the trail that shows they were trying to hide all
this if what Rudy said was true...which I'll admit I have my doubts
about.
So, all this lying is basically hurting Trump and everybody around
him. I
don't know why Giuliani would be stupid enough to have involved himself
in this and the way he is going I can see him not being around long. The
rest of Trump's legal team is furious about what he did on Hannity and
they want the guy to shut the hell up but obviously he has agreed to be
Trump's mouthpiece.
I keep thinking this can't get anymore stupid but Team Trump keeps
proving me oh so wrong.
