The Ingraham Angle host, who is also one of the presidents most outspoken media defenders, argued that Mulvaneys remarks should not be taken seriously because he is not a lawyer. (In fact, Mulvaney is a lawyer.)
I got to say, though, because were all lawyers here. Theres a reason [Attorney General] Bill Barr doesnt do a lot of press conferences, but he he would know how to answer those questions, she said. Im not piling on Mulvaney, I dont want to do that. I dont think its helpful.
But when you have a legal issue before a lot of people who arent lawyers, the last thing you want to do is try to get out there and say a whole bunch of things really fast and then say, Well, the context was, and going back and the reach back was, and then theres not enough of a pause between one thought and another, and then they could say, Aha, see, you did, and then have to go back and clean it up afterward, she continued.

Mulvaney attended law school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He earned a full scholarship to attend law school, where his focus was on antitrust law. He graduated with his J.D. degree in 1992.[20]
From 1992 to 1997, Mulvaney practiced law with the firm James, McElroy & Diehl. Mulvaney joined his family's homebuilding and real estate business. He participated in the Owners and Presidents Management Program at Harvard Business School. He was a minority shareholder and owner-operator in Salsarita's Fresh Cantina, a privately held regional restaurant chain.[21]

Effective as walking back that salute.
