I just can't stand Jay Sekulow.

He is now on MSNBC with Ari Melber spinning the "the House didn't vote to have a formal impeachment inquiry. It was just a press conference. And it doesn't matter because it wasn't an impeachable offense."

Melber is so much smarter than Sekulow so it really isn't a fair fight. Sekulow comes off like the snake oil salesman that he is. Ugh. I despise these people.

Found this startling article, with this dandy song featuring Jay Sekulow's band!

The article:

Trump’s Lawyer Jay Sekulow Has A Band. It's Terrible.
It will probably be awhile before Sekulow can quit his day job defending Trump to pursue other musical ambitions.
