I don't know how anyone, especially his lawyers, could continue to work for him.

The main complaints:
1. We are not sure we will get paid in the end.
2. He won't listen to us anyways.

Any lawyer can see that Trump is the worst kind of client: Needy, unpredictable, won't listen, and will ultimately refuse to pay for all the services he will demand. In addition, what will this do to your firm's reputation in the legal community, and how will this affect your ability to recruit new lawyers? Years down the road, your firm might win some grudging respect for its unpaid yeoman's work on behalf of Trump, but in the meantime, you'll be driving your firm toward bankruptcy and yourself to the booby hatch trying to represent this client.

Also, you'll get in to a certain point, the retainer will have been used up, Trump won't pay anymore, and you can't withdraw without prejudicing your client, so you're stuck working for nothing for a client who won't follow your advice, and is hurting your firm's reputation. Where do I sign up???

...would be to shut up, and speak only when they advise you to, and then say only what they advise you to say.

“Some outside people, some surrogates will be available.”

Meaning Kushner, Bannon, Conway, and his legal team, having a series of heart attacks while it all unfolds.

The standard advice is, don't talk about your case or anything related to it with anybody but me. What you say to me is privileged. What you say to the rest of the world can bite you on the butt. Sometimes especially stupid clients will say things in public, or to people with whom they have no privilege of confidentiality, that directly contradict the position taken in the case, or that the client has said in a deposition or intends to say in court. This might induce or even obligate the lawyer to withdraw from representation.

Trump would be the ultimate Client From Hell.

Something about having a fool for a client?

Dumbass is digging his own political grave with his phone.

Trump's inappropriately inflated sense of himself is the gift that keeps on giving. He cannot stop himself from stepping on the rake. His tweets will likely do his case more harm than I dare say, Comey's testimony. Bring it on.

He's seen how the networks are reacting and he's feeling left out. This makes him seem relevant.

Wasn't Conway just saying we take them too seriously or some shit?

I'm not sure where the line is, but as soon as President Trump tweets out something so bone stupid that you wonder about whether he has all his marbles, I think Conway would say that that's too far, and it's your fault for noticing Trump's stupidity.

he will be speaking in front of some religious group during the testimony. I'd bet my paycheck that someone in the white house scheduled that just to keep him away from his phone.

Cause dft doesn't know the difference, apparently. Oy.

The Faith & Freedom Coalition announced Tuesday that Trump will address the “Road to Majority Conference” at Washington’s Omni Shoreham Hotel at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday.

it does seem the stupidity is never ending, doesn't it? If he thinks any of the networks - cable or otherwise - will pull away from comey to cover his pathetic ass, he's dreaming. I know people who are literally taking off work to watch on Thursday - they think history will be made in the unraveling of a presidency. I hope they're right.

Twitter Bots is all about on his follow? Are thay getting ready for a massive disinformtion campaign, or worse?

Great googly moogly, Trump's totally nuts !!

with 2 scoops of ice cream. It might be fun.

Dog eat dog White House.

His tweets as they are posted...
Even then... they would have to allow themselves to be influenced by such nonsense...


Right, like Comey is going to have his phone out..
anxiously awaiting tweets by dumbfuck ...

FFS....

Trump is on the defensive and most likely wants to do something aggressive to disrupt the hearing. If everyone's talking about Trump's tweets, and if the media "helpfully" streams them at the bottom of the TV screen, Trump will get what he craves, the chance to control the narrative, even though his tweets likely will be 90% bullshit and/or lies.

We should be able to predict most of what he'll say, though. I'm interested in whether Republicans will enable a hijacking of the hearing by Trump.

Rules ...

Sad - 1 Shot
Fake - 2 Shots
MSM - 3 Shots


Add your own

Before Comey testifies. They'd like us to believe their message is honest and unrehearsed, but of course it's deeply strategic. They are upset Americans might know they're in full tilt damage control mode. I don't buy a word of this one- no one knows if he will Tweet till it happens, they can't predict a thing.

him as he breaks multiple laws daily.

If any Democrat did ONE of the things he does, tells ONE of the thousands of lies, they would be impeached and hounded till dead.

We finally now see what 40% of the electorate think democracy and patriotism is and we should be very very afraid and use that fear against these anti American assholes who seek to destroy everything.

That alone will end any possibility of invoking executive privilege at all on anything related to his dealings with the Russians.

How else can he tweet?

If he's going to be "defending" himself, prepare the gallows.

My PC screen and my television are both in my line of sight, I have beer and popcorn, and I'm ready to have a Real Good Time.

Unfortunately I just read Trump will be speaking at some religious rally while the testimony is occurring, I don't think we will be getting any real time tweets from small hands donny.
