Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

It's not just him we need interrogated. He's a rambling jackass who would happily waste the investigators' time for years on end until his health finally fails and still not get anywhere within a forty-mile radius of useful information.

We need everyone around him interrogated.

 

[wonko the sane?]

On top of all that: you need everyone who enabled him into a position of power arrested and barred from government. They all need to be investigated to ensure they haven't compromised national security.

Functionally, you need to completely stamp out the ideology that originated this mess... but doing that is also completely counter to a free and open democratic system.

 

[Ironbite4]

So hang the entire Republican Party?

 

[wonko the sane?]

Which is why I said it was also completely counter to a free and democratic system. It also sets a, frankly, horrible precedent for the next batch of monsters that'll pop up, cause you know hitler wanna-be 3.0 will straight up take advantage of it.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Whatever happens needs to be entirely by the book. The problem is that the Republicans have spent decades rewriting the book.

And also the book was poorly written to begin with. Which is how they've been able to do that and get away with it.

'No way to not step into a mess': Dozens of former Trump lawyers facing possibility of ruined careers

According to a report from the New York Times, the quip that "MAGA" (Make America Great Again) also means "making attorneys get attorneys" is particularly apt as dozens of lawyers who rushed to defend Donald Trump now find themselves facing disbarment, investigations, subpoenas and possible...

The bottom of the barrel is being cut out.

Relevant quote:

"Vigorously defending the client — even one known for unscrupulous behavior or accused of an egregious crime — is part of a lawyer’s basic job description. But attorneys are bound by a code of professional conduct that forbids them from crossing certain lines, including knowingly making false claims, filing frivolous lawsuits or motions, and doing anything to further a crime."

It kinda sounds like Trump refuses to accept legal counsel from anyone who won't agree to do actual crimes on his behalf. Thaaaaat explains why nobody wants to represent him anymore.

 

[Pale Rider]

I wonder how many times this conversation has played out between Trump and his prospective legal teams...

That, and the fact that he never pays them.

 

[Wheelimus]

All Donald Trump needs is for Saul Goodman to be a real lawyer and represent him. heh

 

[wonko the sane?]

Goodman wouldn't be stupid enough to take it. Even he won't stand for not getting paid.

 

[Wheelimus]

That's why Trump would have to pay up front, in cash, in duffel bags, to get Goodman to take him on as a client. Then he'll tamper with the evidence and get Judge Judy appointed Special Master.

If dollars were doughnuts, I'd bet two eclairs that Bob Odenkirk has received a call or two from a very confused agent.

 

[Wheelimus]

"I know you aren't one but he really wants a CRIMINAL attorney and won't take no for an answer."

 

[wonko the sane?]

We can only hope for indictment: but it's probably just his own lazy ass changing golf venues.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

I have a hard time believing that something as major as indicting a former president and ongoing threat to national security would be done that quietly. More likely he's meeting with some of his co-conspirators and someone actually talked him into shutting his hole about it for a day or two (or just took his phone away).

Ot, given his age and health, it could be medical and he went to DC for it to leech some of that federal health care that his cult doesn't believe in. Either way, I'm sure he'll be back to blathering about it soon enough.

My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell has phone seized by FBI at fast-food outlet

Prominent proponent of Donald Trump’s stolen election lie says he was questioned about Colorado electoral official Tina Peters

[wonko the sane?]

And as soon as he gets in front of a camera, or gets another phone: this is just going to be more "evidence" that the who-evers are silencing and oppressing the truth.
