1. he has all of these lawyers who do not communicate with each other.

2. I'm not an attorney and I don't play one on tv, but I would think that hiding information from

your attorney wouldn't be a good thing.

[unblock]

4. well donnie is the sort of person who is used to his lawyers being wiretapped

so i can understand the reluctance

3. I wonder whether Emmet Flood is re-thinking his new gig already.

Run away, Emmet! Run away!

6. He has to be.

He would be crazy not to.

5. Amazing. This is why I disagree with those who think MSM gives too much exposure

to trump and his handlers. Put those idiots on 24/7 and let them talk themselves into jail, impeachment, and/or a Blue Wave in November.

7. Trump is a bad client and will find out that his attorneys need to have the facts to do their job

This is the reason why so many firms refused to represent trump

8. Who Will Leave First - McGahn, Flood Or Guiliani?......

or all of the above.

I got to think Guiliani is toast given his throwing everything up and seeing what sticks. It's like a chaos strategy. I think Trump will axe Rudy right quick - before he does more damage.

With respect to McGahn and Flood - both of them have to be second guessing their decisions to work for Trump. Trump doesn't respect either of them and this Rudy thing really drove home that point. I got to think within a couple of weeks - both of these guys will be gone.

11. Flood, if he's smart, and he is.

9. Hmmm...

In March of this year Cohen told friends that he’d not been compensated, yet Giuliani just said that Trump paid Cohen $35k a month throughout 2017 and 2018 in order to compensate him

These guys can’t get their lies straight

10. How many Scaramuccis will Flood last? This isn't going to go well for Don.
