Trump Is So Mentally Gone That His Lawyers Are Intentionally Lying To Him About The Russia Investiga

By Jason Easley at Politicus USA

"SNIP..........

Carl Bernstein said that his White House sources are telling him that Trump’s lawyers are intentionally lying to him because he is out of control and they are trying to keep him from getting impeached for firing Mueller.

......

Bernstein said, “There is no reason to believe almost anything Donald Trump says because what we know is that the President Of The United States and his presidency is characterized above all else, by the lying of the President of the United States. That doesn’t mean that lying by the President is a crime It does mean that we see him covering up events but not necessarily criminally covering up events. And where this is going definitively we don’t know, but there are many times He has expressed I am told by people in the White House, the desire to fire Mueller, the desire to pardon people under investigation including his family. His lawyers are telling him what he wants to hear. That’s what I’m told by lawyers in the white house. They are telling him what he wants to hear to keep him and to go off and fire Mueller in a rage they have an out of control client. The President Of The United States is out of control a good deal of the time, especially when it comes to this investigation.”

Trump’s lawyers can’t tell him what is really going on because they are afraid that if he knew the truth, he would start firing people to cover-up his crimes and end up impeached. Remember, all Republicans ever wanted from Trump is their massive tax cut for the rich. They’ve got their tax cut, so they now have no use for Trump. The President has few allies in Congress, so if Ryan and McConnell think that throwing Trump overboard will save their House and Senate majorities, they will turn on Trump in a heartbeat.

A lawyer is supposed to advise their clients, not control or baby them. They're certainly not supposed to lie to them. If Trump's lawyers think their client is so unbalanced that he'll get himself in trouble if they tell him the truth, they should either tell him the truth and deal with the consequences or withdraw their representation. But no attorney should ever lie to their client about the circumstances of the matter in which they're representing him.

These people seem more concerned about maintaining their high profile, being able to say they represent a prominent client (the better to attract other clients) and keeping the fees rolling in than they are about fulfilling their duties as officers of the court.

Kind of hard to pass a tax bill if President H.R. Clinton was there to bet it.

I saw this in the news a couple of weeks back and it finally dawned on me. Part of these crazy things he keeps saying that are so obviously lies are because he doesn't know the truth himself.

I'm not trying to excuse him and I don't think anyone is trying to say he is insane, but his handlers are so afraid of what he might do to take the heat off himself that they will lie. That makes me think they are so convinced that he is a short timer that they're not even worried about getting in trouble themselves.

Just think what he might do. He is not limited to firing people, he could start a war. The man has nothing holding him back.

Well, they wanted to steal a SC pick too. But they get to keep the WH regardless so yes they’ll dump him if they think they can get away with pissing off his voters too badly.

GOP like Trump. He is Reagan allover again. A man who will accept any GOP policy. He is the puppet they crave.
