Mr. Trump Goes to Washington

Just as I predicted, Trump is having trouble getting lawyers to defend him because of the violation of attorney privilege during the Cohen raid. It makes sense.

Do you have a logical bone in your body? Trump was having trouble getting lawyers to defend him long before the Cohen raid. So that makes no sense at all.

The reason Trump can't get a lawyer is because lawyers want to be paid and Trump is broke. If he really was super-wealthy he could not put up a huge retainer and have almost any lawyer he wanted.

If Trump is broke why did he put up millions of dollars in self financing for his campaign. He is also donating his $400,000 yearly salary from being president to charity. These don’t sound like the actions of someone who is broke.

I get your jealous of Trump but please don’t make it so obvious.

You cannot legal donate a salary you do not take. What Trump is doing is not taking a $0 salary and then deducting the full salary as a donation.

Trump did not put one cent of his personal money into the campaign. He used money from his businesses as "loans" that would be paid back to him. And he used campaign donations to claim "self=financed". In other words, he did not self-finance his campaign.

Seriously. There are beltway lawyers who'd jump to represent zombie Hitler if the price was right. You'd think someone who talks about The Swamp all the time would realize this. Trump is either broke or a cheapskate.

Mostly, Trump LOANED money to his campaign. The loans were paid back by his contributors. Also, Trump overcharged his campaign for office space and events at Trump properties. Much of his "self-financing" was really "self-dealing". We will probably never know if he sacrificed a single penny of his own cash. At one point, Trump even bragged that he would be the first ever to profit from running for president. Maybe he did.

And Trump did not "self-finance" in the general. That was only for the primary.

I'm not saying he's dead-broke, as in he has no assets and no cash flow. He does own a very large enterprise with both of those things.

I'm saying that this enterprise may have what is close to a negative balance sheet. That is, he can't easily free up a lot of cash by selling assets. If he were in better shape he would sell some assets and raise the retainer needed to get the best attorneys to wage the legal battle of the century.

I can't think of any other reason a billionaire would have the poor-man's legal team he's got right now. Can you?

This entire Mueller investigation has become a farce. It started with Russian collusion, then to obstruction, then to a porno chick, then to Michael Cohen and now on to Sean Hannity and appearing before a Clinton loyalist federal judge. What's next? The witch hunt continues.

Meanwhile, Mueller is never ever coming

A Flagpolian Flop is on the way

What you are conflating as the Mueller investigation is actually the web of chaos and destruction that surrounds an incredibly corrupt and immoral POTUS.

Hannity's response is that he just sought legal advice from Cohen a few times.

Sure. Hannity was just asking a few questions.

If that's true, then why did Cohen's lawyers testify in court that " the then-unnamed client had told Cohen not to disclose his name and that they believed Cohen had a duty not to disclose it."? And why would they further testify that it is "likely to be embarrassing or detrimental to the client."?

Methinks Hannity is in big trouble.

Hannity seemed to be the only major personality at FOX who was NOT fooling around and harassing women. I honestly thought that he was the exception, that he was the one major guy who didn't succumb to the misogynist, adulterous FOX culture.

But now, it's not looking good.

You don't go to Trump's fixer unless you need something fixed.

That's the truth Ruth!

Dude, you are not thinking clearly. What makes you think that just because a new topic is ADDED to the list of scandals that the other ones have dropped off? Can YOU only deal with one thing in your life at a time? If so, you should see someone about that. Your problem is that you believe these are excuses the Democrats (and or Republican Robert Mueller for some reason) are trying out to see if they can somehow delegitimize Trump's victory, but that is not it. These are piles upon piles that demonstrate the corruptness of Trump and almost anyone he associates himself with.

All of the Trump stuff that deals with his lawlessness is serious and sad. The Hannity thing is just hilarious...that self-righteous know nothing and liar deserves to be dragged down by associating himself with Trump. That's what people get who defend Trump so vociferously with lies, characterizations and plain a$$holeness. Can't wait to find out what it was he wanted hidden. I am certain it will paint him as a hypocrite.

Wait, let me see if I've got this straight. So, nobody who voted for Clinton has any credibility? Only Trump voters have credibility?

Does that sound like the foundation of America to you? Or the foundation of something else?

Let me get this straight. Isn't that what you liberal flippers do with everything the Right throws at you? Yes, why yes it is. You are the main reason this thread has no credibility and very little value. You're quite ignorant on politics.

^^^^this is me yelling at myself as I realize what a douche bag I've been.

You lost the election, keep on crying ole' fella, you'll change ZERO.

1) I wasn't running, so I didn't lose an election.

2) I don't cry.

3) I do not need to change anything. Robert Mueller's findings will do that.

Mueller is coming.

The clown is done.

Being broke is one possibility. The other possibility is that no one wants to defend him because he doesn't take the advice of his lawyers.

It is likely that Trump refuses to pay a retainer. That way he can stiff them later if the end result is not to his satisfaction. I also do not believe Trump has the cash to pay a retainer. He loves debt. He is cash poor.

Fox News anchor Shepard Smith said today, "Of course, for us, the elephant in the room at the moment is that Sean Hannity is said to have, according to court documents, been a third client of Michael Cohen."

Yep, he's sooooooo poor that he doesn't take a presidential paycheck. His credit cards must be maxed out, his company is going under and laying off the workforce, his two grown sons are unemployed, the banks are foreclosing on all his properties. Mar a Lago is going broke. Trump Tower residents are forced to vacate. The bank took possession of the company helicopter.

Do you Trump haters just like to spout BS all day? Give it a rest.

Possible, but I think that's unlikely. What lawyer turns down a huge payday just because he's afraid his client won't listen?

Even if a few good attorneys turned him down because of his proclivities, that still leaves a lot of really great legal talent that would do the job just for the money.

You are one dumb dummy. The reason Trump uses his businesses for food, travel, etc,, is so he DOESN'T have to pay. Are you really dumb enough to believe that Trump pays for meals, and rooms, at his businesses using a credit card? Or, that he pays rent, or for utilities, at Trump Tower? You are one dumb Trumper.

But, I will admit that the Clinton's took it to another level, they really were thieves.
