Trump lawyer’s latest defense: Our client lied to us

.....................Finally, Stephanopoulos reminded Sekulow that Trump did, in fact, dictate the statement — as Trump’s own legal team, including Sekulow, eventually admitted.

“So why did you deny President Trump’s involvement?” Stephanopoulos asked. “When did you learn that the denial wasn’t true?”

Sekulow first tried to make excuses about having been new to the case at that point.

But then he finally admitted that he made a “mistake” because Trump gave him “bad information” about Trump’s own role in the coverup.

”I had bad information at that time, and made a mistake in my statement,” Sekulow said.

Sekulow avoided using Trump’s name, and avoided using the word “lie.”

But the implication of his delicately phrased remark is clear: Trump told Sekulow that he had nothing to do with his son’s false statement about Trump Tower. Sekulow made the mistake of believing him — and shared his lie with the American public on national TV.

Either they are running away or something more nefarious is afoot. None of them including, but not limited to t-rump, his administration nor the GOPs nor their sugar donors, or t-rump's messed up family can hide. It's coming straight towards the truth.

And what Rand Paul did by welcoming Russian politicians is sure to be a cherry on top, but not for the Republican party.

Remember when Jared flew to Saudi Arabia, came back, turned around and flew there again, in a matter of a couple days?
Message carrying.

There is no normal reason for known supporters of Russia like Rorabacher to pop over to Russia in the middle of this
increasingly intense Trump exposure than message carrying.

What steps have you taken to avoid such an embarrassing - not to say potentially criminal - episode in the future? After all, now you know for a fact that your client will lie to you, and won't do anything to correct that lie after you repeat it.

Honoring the man who, from beyond the grave, continues to inspire Hope, Kellyanne, and Sarah, as well as all Trump's lawyers!"
