[leftstreet]

3. LOLOL Tell me Netflix is buying the rights to this series!

[FM123]

29. Yes, that would be great!

[stopbush]

35. The only question is who will play tRump?

Sidney Greenstreet or Victor Buono? Maybe they could get tRump fan Tim Allen to put on the Santa fat suit one more time.

[dchill]

44. Declan Mulholland or Larry Ward...

who both played Jabba the Hutt.

[cojoel]

60. In this case

Maybe the SNL version of "Pizza the Hutt" is more appropriate in this case...

[dchill]

63. Pizza the Hutt is a character from "Spaceballs"...

Played by Dom DeLuise.

[cojoel]

78. you are correct

At my age I am lucky to remember the character at all!

[NewJeffCT]

50. Alec Baldwin should be the frontrunner

or Meryl Streep

[Amimnoch]

59. LOL, beat me to it!

[dixiegrrrrl]

61. Greenstreet and Buono are deceased, but just maybe...a zombie Trump movie?? n/t

[stopbush]

62. I'm think some CGI would be involved.

[dixiegrrrrl]

66. Greenstreet would make a nice Kislyak...

Did you know that he did not even appear in movies till he was 62?

You know who else would do as Kislyak? The guy who played Harry Potter's uncle.
altho he may be dead also ...

[YCHDT]

49. LOVE THAT SHOW !!!!

[Ms. Toad]

23. Well, as the saying goes,

Any lawyer who represents himself has incompetent counsel and a fool for a client.

[geek tragedy]

5. Lawyer Inception! nt

[Nevernose]

12. +1

When will we wake up from the Trump dream, though?

[caballojm]

56. Not dream; nightmare.

[C_U_L8R]

20. You're waiting for a train

A train that'll take you far away. You know where you hope this train will take you. But you can't know for sure. Yet it doesn't matter.

[geek tragedy]

26. It takes you to a bus, and Donald Trump is there, waiting to throw you under it nt

[malaise]

6. Get thee to the greatest page

[nolabear]

7. When your lawyer lawyers up you are screwn.

[BumRushDaShow]

9. Geez... Even the lawyers are lawyering up.

[Renew Deal]

10. Of course he has. He's neck deep in this scandal

With his reported meetings in Europe.

[hatrack]

11. Says who?

[HAB911]

[Laf.La.Dem.]

14. Who pays for all these lawyers?

[HAB911]

16. As always

we will, one way or another

Reminds me of my divorce. The judge told me, "Somebody has to pay, and you have the money." (paraphrased slightly)

[BarbD]

42. Pence is having a fund raiser,

so he can use campaign money.

[WinkyDink]

71. "Pence for Pence!"

[napi21]

53. AFAIK each person has to pay for his own. Pence is doing fund raisers, but the others get to pay

what could be a very big bill. I don't know how some of the staffers will do it because mosy of them don't have wealthy backgrounds.

[SethH]

81. let's just say they will be paid in caviar n/t

[Corvo Bianco]

15. Yayyy

When the crook's crook hires their own crook you're just about vindicated

[dalton99a]

18. Soon we'll have a Trump's personal lawyer's counsel's lawyer who will hire a spokesperson

who will hire an assistant

[tblue37]

40. Then there us Kasowitz, who crossed a line when he told WH staff NOT to hire

their own lawyers. Potential witness tampering???

[Thrill]

19. The Feds are coming

[Leghorn21]

21. oh, this makes me grin!! Thanks, HAB! eom

[FreepFryer]

22. When you get a subpoena, you get a lawyer. (n/t)

[Gothmog]

24. Even the lawyers are lawyering up

[CousinIT]

25. Even the lawyers are lawyering up. Wow! n/t

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. Cohen is a shady character, too.

The lawyers are lawyering up. Shit's getting real.

[madaboutharry]

28. I wonder if any of these people regret the day

they hitched their wagon to Trump.....he is such a loser.

[mulsh]

30. Golly, first Pence, now Cohen and he's hired an experienced, respected DC lawyer. I guess that means

that Cohen probably doesn't have a rep for stiffing hirelings.

Here's a bit from Mr. Ryan's law firm bio:

"He also served as an Assistant US Attorney in Washington, DC, prosecuting criminal cases. Steve received a special commendation from the Attorney General and other Justice Department awards."

[nycbos]

31. "If you represent yourself you have a fool for a client"

Or so many lawyers have told

[HopeAgain]

32. All sounds very RICO to me...

The White House is a racketeer influenced corrupt organization.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

33. Two points.

Counsel often hires counsel to represent them.
He might feel he has legal exposure.

[LovingA2andMI]

34. Pass The Popcorn Please.....This Show Is Too Damn Good....

[stopbush]

36. So, when tRump fires his lawyer, does the lawyer hired by his lawyer

take over defending tRump?

Very confusing! Sad!

[Cracklin Charlie]

55. Gonna need a lotta Cousin Vinnies!

[awesomerwb1]

38. "As your attorney's attorney's attorney, I advise you to rent a very fast car with no top." n/t

[get the red out]

39. Good money to made being a DC Lawyer

until you subtract your own legal bills.

[BigmanPigman]

41. Rachel said he should do this a few days ago.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

43. Republican tRump thinks he only hires "the best", such as Cohen. He eats his own BS. . . nt

[NastyRiffraff]

45. You can't make this shit up

I know I keep saying that, but every time I think we've seen the bottom, a sinkhole appears.

[dchill]

46. Yeah, there's a lawyer for that.

[aggiesal]

48. They're Russian Nested Dolls ...

[alcibiades_mystery]

57. Trump's entire business is a criminal operation...Michael Cohen is its Saul Goodman

He's a two bit criminal, just like Trump, the brothers, Kushner, etc.

[Solly Mack]

65. The lawyers are lawyering up.

They all know Trump is toxic and they all know they've been a part of it.

[TrogL]

69. A comedian was interviewed on CBC last night

...complaining that it's impossible to write material because the stuff that's happening in real time is crazier than anything he could put on a show.

[TNNurse]

73. Well, they are creating jobs

for lawyers.

[Botany]

74. They are going to the mattresses

[Big_K]

75. I went home with the waitress, the way I always do

How was I to know
she was with the
Russians too?

(or maybe for Jared)

Send lawyers, guns and money
Dad, get me out of this, hah!

[Botany]

76. And why did Trump's lawyer Cohen, take a trip to Prague to meet w/Russians?

Feb. 19, 2017

"The F.B.I. is reviewing an unverified dossier, compiled by a former British intelligence agent and funded by Mr. Trump’s political opponents, that claims Mr. Cohen met with a Russian representative in Prague during the presidential campaign to discuss Russia’s hacking of Democratic targets. But the Russian official named in the report told The New York Times that he had never met Mr. Cohen. Mr. Cohen insists that he has never visited Prague and that the dossier’s assertions are fabrications."
