1. NoShit

[sinkingfeeling]

2. I don't care. He admitted to quid pro quo.

[Iliyah]

3. And?

[C_U_L8R]

4. No mulligans

Nice try, shiny.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. In other words, the legal team didn't get a chance to prep Mulvaney

to be sure he wouldn’t tell the truth about that pesky quid pro quo.

[Wounded Bear]

6. Yeah, ya think?

He basically admitted the quid pro quo on national TV.

[dewsgirl]

9. Not basically, he did.

[uponit7771]

15. +1, Then tried to say it had nothing to do with Biden even though Trump admitted to summary !!!

[dewsgirl]

20. I know. They can't keep their stories straight.

[Cha]

29. Too many LIES and Deceptions.. who

could keep all that shite straight!?

[Leghorn21]

7. Oh, fun!!!

”So, Sekulow just threw Mulvaney under the bus for Trump.”

10. Exactly. n/t

[ck4829]

25. Indeed

[gratuitous]

8. Is Sekulow saying that White House officials have to be read their Miranda rights?

Boy, there's a ringing endorsement of the truthfulness of anything coming out of the White House.

[Sneederbunk]

11. Mulvaney must of had Rudy on the phone.

[Garrett78]

12. He made sure to include "acting," but, of course, everyone in this admin is acting.

[MFGsunny]

13. As they scurry when lights come on, Cockroaches are better at it than these grifters. n/t

[uponit7771]

14. LOFL !!! Did Mulvany just throw Red Don under the bus ?!?!? lofl if he did

[fleur-de-lisa]

16. And then Sekulow threw both Dump and Mulvaney under.

[ck4829]

24. Yep

[tblue37]

17. Mulvaney said Trump told HIM about the quid pro quo, so the others can't deny it for him. nt

[BruceWane]

18. What he didn't say

LOL.

You'd think he might mention something along the lines of "Mulvaney was mistaken/wrong/etc...."

"Only the best people!!"

[njhoneybadger]

19. What a shit show. "Was not involved" equals it's all lies

[0rganism]

21. there's a lively party happening under the bus

dark but lively
and very crowded
some arguments over how to get another leg
dance floor is completely full too

[ck4829]

23. LOL

[ck4829]

22. K&R

[dem4decades]

26. So he admitted it. Then he said the G7 is at Doral. He's flaunting Trump's power.

The Senate Republicans will do nothing. When he finally gets around to shooting someone on 5th Ave iit will be the ultimate show of his power.

[Mc Mike]

27. Mulvaney doesn't even know Giuliani.

[Mr. Ected]

28. Translation: "He had not yet been coached to lie about quid pro quo"

"Luckily, we got our hands on him later in the day to advise him how to deny what he had so clearly enunciated only a few hours before".

[muriel_volestrangler]

30. Sekulow thinks he'll still have a legal career after Trump, so is trying to say "not my advice!"

I think his career is surely at an end after this shitshow. Even if he isn't convicted of something or disbarred, his reputation is already in the trash. Or he'll be limited to representing wingnuts in idiotic cases.
