Oh hell, they are ALL lawyering up. The fascinating thing is that Trump is lawyering up on NEW YORK laywers instead of WASHINGTON lawyers. Which could be a very very bad idea.
The new head of the Education Department’s office that deals with student loans is the CEO of a company that makes student loans for profit.
Trump’s attorney lawyered up.
Of course, that may just because Trump’s attorney needs someone to teach him the law.
He should just ask Trump to teach him the law. I’m sure Trump knows at least as much about the law as he does about foreign policy and how to defeat ISIS, which, as we all know, is more than his generals.
New York lawyers are the hot new fashion trend in DC this summer.
Is he still wearing those silly glasses? Give it up, Rick – everybody can still recognize you as Stupidman.
Nah, it’s the new parlor game in legal circles, Six Degrees of Lawyers. Basically, a lawyer determines how many lawyers between them and Trump. So, if Lawyer A is hired by Lawyer B who was hired by Lawyer C, who was hired by a major player in the Trump administration, then that’s 5 degrees, 1 degree was added because it wasn’t a direct lawyer connection to bdo. What I don’t understand about this game is this: is a lower number a win or a loss?
In law, the lower the number on the degree, the more severe the crime.
You win if you have the most degrees of separation, you lose if you only have 1.
Big stupid-headed poo-poo* Karen “screw those livable wages” Handel beat out Jon Ossof (by 3.8 percentage points!) to win Georgia’s special election.
:mad:
*[SIZE=“1”]ok I’ll come clean here - in full 100% disclosure, I blatantly plagiarized that brilliant insult from a thread from 2003 from one tracer (didn’t really look much into its posting history for quality check).[/SIZE]
<bitter cynicism> Of course she did. The Democrats are too busy running their mouths to get their shit together. </bc>
They should really look into hiring some Philadelphia lawyers. That’s what I would do if I were ever as fucked as they are.
Could it be due to the investigations happening In New York? They are still looking into his mob connections (Sater?) and the “mysterious” flow of Russian (Putin) money into Trump’s holdings.
He knows all the best laws. Dontcha know.
Especially if the lower degree means you’re closer to Trump.
They are all doing this criss-cross lawyering-up to create a tangled web where everybody is connected. So whenever someone is getting into court there’s always this conflict of interest that makes a delay necessary. And before you know all charges meet the statute of limitations.
Would they all be lawyering up if the leaks were all about fake news and lies?
I think that the number of folks who are hiring lawyers is strong evidence in favor of the theory that Flynn is singing like a canary.
This theory sounds quite plausible to me. When Pence lawyered up, it was quite interesting… There was no other apparent explanation.
