Trump Lawyer Jay Sekulow: President 'Not Firing' Robert Mueller

Source: Mediaite

by Josh Feldman | 2:21 pm, October 30th, 2017

Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow appeared on CNN this afternoon and said that President Trump is “not firing” Robert Mueller.

He also insisted to Wolf Blitzer that Trump hasn’t been interfering with the probe.

Blitzer also asked Sekulow if Trump may be pardoning people. Sekulow said he hasn’t talked to the president about pardoning at all, saying he has no “indication” that’s where he would go with this.

And with Sekulow's Gibraltar-like history of impeccable honesty, we no longer need to worry!

but this is going to be a orange roughy:

Orange roughy (Hoplostethus atlanticus), deep ocean fish that were once known as "slimeheads" because of the mucous-producing canals on their heads, grow and mature at a sluggish rate compared to most shallow water fish.

...so he hires MIMES instead?

Trump kind of reminds me of Trump with his lawyers. Too cheap to hire lawyers (even when it IS with GOP funds), so he hires rodeo clowns instead.

...was because they knew that if HE goes down, they'll ALL get splashed with the s#!t.

Little did they know that: A) he's too cheap to hire REAL lawyers, even if it IS with other peoples' money, and B) due to his asshat reputation, there are very few REAL lawyers that'll actually agree to work for him anymore.

Tough luck, guys. He hired MIMES with YOUR MONEY.

It would have to be the guy who hired him - Rosenstein. And if Rosenstein won't do it, then they will do a Nixon and shop for someone who will.

I don't know what they talked about, but I can imagine a "How would I go about getting rid of Mueller in a way that's least harmful to me?"

Sessions would probably advise him not to do that, as would Trump's lawyers. But Trump doesn't listen to advice.

Just semantics and passive v. active voice, you know.
Drumpf and his lawyer knows the best words, and they all have different meanings, right?
