"Team Trump legal advisor" bases Trump defense on "US" in "Do us a favor, though"

[Miles Archer]

I'm not going to post the series of tweets that Trump re-tweeted, because they ARE "Republican Talking Points," but since he did re-tweet them, I'm sharing the gist of what was said to provide insight into his "strategy." Here's the person who posted them, no link because, well, fuck "Team Trump." Here are Jenna Ellis' stunning credentials.

Jenna Ellis

@JennaEllisEsq

Senior Legal Advisor to @TeamTrump and @realDonaldTrump. Constitutional Law Attorney. Champion for Christ at @Falkirk_Center @LibertyU

And here is Ms. Ellis' "smoking gun."

@realDonaldTrump was clear when he said “Do US a favor” that he was speaking on behalf of the United States. It is absolutely in America’s interests to root our corruption, especially from a former sitting VP. MSM keeps WRONGLY quoting “do ME a favor” to fit their narrative.

1. Pffffftttt.

Helping re-elect the turd-in-chief is certainly no favor to me or anyone I know.

2. Depends on what the meaning of us us.

5. ROFL

3. Murdoch Media as well as

Sinclair Corp have been peddling this false narrative for several weeks. At some level,these Media outlets will drown in their own Feces.

4. WTF LOL - Is it because "us" is spelled "U-S"?

Why would it be in America's interest to root out corruption in Ukraine? Was Trump going to withhold Congressionally-approved and promised aid to other countries, too, in the pursuit of his fervent global anti-corruption crusade, for which he is widely recognized as a world leader and lifelong passionate expert..... LOL I can't even finish this sarcastic sentence cuz I'm spitting coffee on my keyboard.

6. he said US, not USA

7. Trump was simply using something called the "majestic plural" (pluralis majestatis).

This is the use of a plural pronoun to refer to a single person who is a MONARCH. he more general term for the use of a we, us, or our to refer to oneself is "nosism".

As a comment I cannot resist adding, as far as I am concerned, the fact that Ms Ellis works at Liberty University tells me all I need to know about her. If, as I'm sure Ms Ellis believes, Jesus Christ is about to return, she should be very concerned. I think He would smack the living shit out of hypocritical Philistines like her.

10. It is all for their stupid base.

Anyone with two working neurons knows that Trump was conditioning the aid on Ukraine pushing a false narrative about the 2016 election and inventing dirt on the Bidens. It will be easy to show that those things were not in the interest of the US, but were certainly in Trump's interest.

When you hire crooked lawyers you get a crooked defense

11. So he's hiding his wishes as US wishes...so what? Still his wishes. The US had approved

Ukraine for their improvement in fighting corruption, so he wasn't speaking for the US. Congress had appropriated the funds, so he wasn't speaking for the US.

[Mc Mike]

13. He didn't say we want you to do us a favor, though.

[demtenjeep]

14. our corruption???? did she have a Freudian Slip?

in America’s interests to root our corruption, e
