August 19, 2018 at 12:58 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
Former Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.J.) told ABC News that President Trump will regret not invoking executive or attorney-client privilege in special counsel Robert Muellers probe.
Said Christie: You never waive that. Absolutely not. This shows what a C-level legal team the president had in Ty Cobb and John Dowd.
He added: This is not in the presidents interest. It wasnt in the presidents interest. Its bad legal advice. Bad lawyering.

I think Christie is a much smarter criminal than Trump. He walked away from a lot of crap in NJ that he should be in jail for.

I have serious doubts about his mental capacity. I really would not be surprised if he is so far gone he doesn't know what is real and what is not.

Giuliani has both of them beat hollow for horrible lawyering. "Truth isn't truth." That's going to go over great with a jury.

Not surprised he would be flummoxed by a move that might actually lead to justice.
He added: This is not in the presidents interest. It wasnt in the presidents interest. Its bad legal advice. Bad lawyering.
But it's in the country's best interest. Thank God Trump is a doofus.
