What does lawyer Jay Sekulow know that Trump doesn't know? Besides how to keep his mouth shut, I mean. I'm sure Spicer will clear this up tomorrow.
Trump has a poor track record with regard to truthful statements, so the lawyer could be on to something here.
The lawyer makes a big deal about the fact that trump followed recommendations made to him. He doesn't say a thing about the fact trump asked for those recommendations to back up his actions.
One advantage Jay Sekulow has over the Washington Post is that Sekulow is not an anonymous source. Until the Washington Post and NY Times start naming their sources, their stories can never be considered as anything more than hearsay.
First, I got to recalling all the dozens of attorneys that Obama fired and the media did not crap all over Obama. Then I got to thinking, is Comey supposed to be immune to be fired? Then I recalled the Democrats wanted him fired. So what is the problem again? http://www.lifezette.com/polizette/democrats-wanted-comey-fired-tuesday/
Either way, why would it matter if Trump asked for the recommendation prior to or after he decided to fire him? Both would be legitimate times to seek advisory recommendations. The first to obtain a preliminary opinion, and the latter to receive a confirmatory opinion before actually making the call. Either way, Trump had line authority to fire him, for any reason or for no reason, and no amount of Washington Post hearsay can change that simple reality.
Exactly! What good are recommendations when Trump said he was going to fire Comey anyway, even though he told the world Comey was doing a good job? So that would mean the letter that Trump asked for was a bogus letter. Trump also told Comey he hoped he'd stay on as FBI director? Oh yea, that's right, I forgot. He told Lester Holt he was firing Comey because of the Russia thing. So, I'm not sure I know why he told Comey he wanted him to stay on then?
His interview with Chris Wallace of FOX is worth the watch. Wallace is one of the few real journalists left in that network but given the Twitter feedback after his show today, his days may be limited.
Wallace is blatant in his anti-Trump bias, from before the election. Of course, you think "real journalists" provide presidential debate questions in advance to their "preferred candidate"....
Feel free to admit that Wallace simply used the BLOTUS's "lawyer's" own words to destroy the BS he was slinging. Wallace merely called him out for the double talk. Good journalism to boot and no n*t sw**ging cult worshipping.
No he didn't. He deliberately changed what Sekulow said to start some bullshit. Typical leftist POS... The "n*t sw**ging cult worshipping" was the 8 years of breaks given Obama, despite his blatant criminality.
Wallace simply "owned" Jay. It's Jay's fault for talking BS, deal with reality please and stop deflecting weakly to Obama/Clinton every time you can't deal with the truth your eyes/ears see/hear.
The so-called president Tweets he is under investigation. Spicer has said the Tweets are official communication. Trump's lawyer says not under investigation - how would the lawyer know???? How fitting - a lying lawyer for a liar.
Your Honor, my client can not be guilty of this crime for you see there was never a trial to begin with!
