Did Trump just waive attorney-client privilege?

It seems so minor and subtle, and virtually no one picked up on it, but I really think he did.

One thing any good attorney always tells his or her client when taking the case: Never, ever, ever mention any discussions you have with me regarding your case. Never. Not a single word.

1. Trump's mouth is his worse enemy. He cannot stop talking.

Can’t wait for his public statements to be used against him. Lots of material there.

2. As I said, very recently to a another trumpster I know fairly well, who often complained

of trump putting his foot in his mouth - 'trump not only puts his foot in his mouth, he deepthroats the foot'. The trumpster's reaction was subdued ruefulness.

Discovery should be interesting for this case. I have no doubt that Schiff can handle it.

That being sued thousands of times has not made this walking spewing hateful thing smarter than the worst attorney in the world.

and he has used it to intimidate and beat back anyone who challenged him. But legal suit is not going to help him in his present situation in government. And he's too stupid to grasp that concept. He still thinks he can operate as he has always done.

9. I hope word has gotten out that he does not pay his bills then he sues if someone sues

him for their money
If he can never get anyone to contract work at his properties his bottom line will crash fast.
It is not worth it to your business to say I worked for him; ask the women that catered his last wedding. She will never get paid. Then there are all the contractors he has screwed; dumps hotel in DC comes to mind. He still owes for his rallies in many cities. Cut him off. He is a deadbeat.

Weaponozing the justice system for fun and profit. It's what capitalism is all about.

the jury pool for Roody, who is a good man, not deserving of the DEM plan to charge him with FAKE crimes. Trump has years of preventing the application of justice.

13. That is what Trump is saying about the DoJ and FBI agents

who are investigating Roodie. He says Roodie is a good man and the gov. agents are framing him. If Roodie is charged, the jury pool is already poisoned with the Trump lie that Roodie is innocent.

14. I don't see where this statement annuls attorney-client privilege

Granted, it's stupid to be running your mouth against the wishes of your attorney, but I just don't see where it's the same thing as saying "I'll allow my attorney to divulge any privileged conversations we've had". IMO this is just wishful thinking.
