President Trump hired the longtime Washington lawyer Joseph E. diGenova on Monday, adding an aggressive voice to his legal team who has pushed the theory on television that the F.B.I. and Justice Department framed Mr. Trump.
“Former U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia Joe DiGenova will be joining our legal team later this week,” said Jay Sekulow, one of the president’s personal lawyers. “I have worked with Joe for many years and have full confidence that he will be a great asset in our representation of the President.”
Mr. diGenova has endorsed the notion that a secretive group of F.B.I. agents concocted the Russia investigation as a way to keep Mr. Trump from becoming president. “There was a brazen plot to illegally exonerate Hillary Clinton and, if she didn’t win the election, to then frame Donald Trump with a falsely created crime,” he said on Fox News in January. He added, “Make no mistake about it: A group of F.B.I. and D.O.J. people were trying to frame Donald Trump of a falsely created crime.”
Little evidence has emerged to support that theory.
Of course as we know Trump loves him some conspiracy theories, after all it was the Obama birth certificate conspiracy that brought him such national attention in the first place. And a conspiracy theory that suggests that he did nothing wrong and is being framed he would love that most of all.
Bringing this bomb thrower into the mix indicates to me that Trump has NO intention of agreeing to that interview with Robert Mueller.
I think all signs point to Trump tripling down and stonewalling the Mueller investigators while tweeting out that he is being framed by his own Justice Department, and is the victim of a massive liberal conspiracy to remove him from office without cause.A total WITCH HUNT with massive conflicts of interest!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 19, 2018
Just when you thought this whole thing could not possible get any crazier.
P.S. Just a reminder that there is a tweet for EVERYTHING.
Stupid New York Times being a week too early.The Failing New York Times purposely wrote a false story stating that I am unhappy with my legal team on the Russia case and am going to add another lawyer to help out. Wrong. I am VERY happy with my lawyers, John Dowd, Ty Cobb and Jay Sekulow. They are doing a great job and.....— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 11, 2018

ReplyDelete'student Matthew Bell, General Secretary of the Bracton Law Society, has been informed his devices are no longer needed at Hill Dickinson LLP, a law firm he was previously set to join in September 2019 as part of their graduate program.
Among comments Bell made were homophobic, racist and sexist slurs using language such as, “rape is funny”, “gay marriage should be illegal”, and “blacks are useless tree ornaments” and liberal use of the N-word' Ni&&er.
#MeToo is a tough social movement to define, but several overarching themes emerge: Perpetrators of sexual harassment are being called out for specific bad behavior, ranging from very explicit to more subtle forms. People are losing their jobs because of it. There is a cultural conversation happening that involves identifying this behavior, once acceptable (or ignored), as unacceptable. And there is a broader conversation happening about the underlying systems that enable this kind of behavior.""Racism is usually "pretty clear" as well, but we often pretend that it doesn't exist because it makes us uncomfortable." <BLM!

I had a friend like Trump once. It was a she. If tweet had existed back in the day, she would have tweeted everything.
ReplyDeleteShe reported everything and anything that went against her way of thinking to try to get people on her side. It was aggravating how she passively aggressively micromanaged those of us that were her "freinds". One day I had had enough and kicked her to the curb. I mean every fucking day she was harping about shit that really didn't matter.
I am getting a strong feeling of deja vu with Donald the dickhead. It's making me nauseous. As the case with my ex friend, Donald will never be happy. And he will always think of himself as above everyone.
I grew up with parents who were much the same way. All I heard growing up were those two spending ridiculous time and effort disparaging anything that wasn’t like them.
DeleteThey have no close relationships with family. That includes with me & my brother, the only two kids they had.
The last conversation I had with my dad involved him informing me that because he didn’t agree with my way of life, he would no longer speak with me until I started to live in a way that he approves of.
It’s mind blowing that there are people out there like this, but there are. They destroy and sabotage anything around them they can’t control. They are deeply insecure. They can’t even acknowledge these negative emotions. They are psychologically unwell, but won’t seek help for themselves. They’re much like toddlers emotionally. That’s our president!

'UPDATE: A source familiar with the situation confirms that Ted Olson was approached to represent Donald Trump and that Olson/Gibson Dunn declined to do so.'

ReplyDelete"A prominent Washington, D.C., attorney said his law firm will represent, pro bono, anyone who wants to challenge the draconian nondisclosure agreements President Donald Trump reportedly demanded early last year from his senior White House officials.
Mark Zaid, who represents government workers in free speech and national security cases, was responding to a Sunday report from The Washington Post that administration officials are prohibited from disclosing information both during their employment and “at all times thereafter.”
Each infraction would be subject to a $10 million fine, according to a draft agreement the Post obtained. The draft covered all “non public” communications, including conversations with the press and with any other government official. It even barred any revelations in works of fiction.
Zaid, a founding partner of the nonprofit law firm Whistleblower Aid, said the staffers can only lawfully be constrained from disclosing classified information when their employment is over. "
"The agreements “strike me as clearly unconstitutional under the First Amendment,” University of Minnesota law professor Heidi Kitrosser told Reuters. University of Florida law professor Mark Fenster told the outlet that “public employees can’t be forced to sign away the right to speak.”
Experts also noted that White House staffers don’t technically work for Trump, but for the United States, which would be the only party that could enforce the NDAs — and that’s not likely to happen."
"According to the Post, the staffers did all eventually sign the agreements, in part because many believed they could not be enforced."
