Stop it. The Trump administration is a revolving door. If Muller had any real shit he would bring it. Hell someone leaks his calls to Putin.
I speak it just fine, but I rarely understand it when spoken by others.
I repeat: by the only metric we have available to us, Mueller is moving damn quickly. Cool your jets and have some patience.
Yes. Toensing and diGenova have various entanglements that could could prevent them from representing Trump. These are the issues you get sorted out before you announce you have a new client. Remember that John Dowd has already resigned as Trump's lawyer over this, so it's a little . . . awkward that the new lawyers still haven't even signed on yet.
Who will Trump get if this falls through? And if he just wants people to defend him on Fox News, he can hire them to do that even if they aren't technically his lawyers. I'm pretty sure that Toensing and diGenova would be available for that sort of thing. What in the wide world of sports is going on here?
You really think Mueller is "having trouble"? With the convictions he already achieved, I think he's probably doing just fine.
Thanks to Trump's nonstop whining about "collusion" and "witchhunt", people tend to forget that Mueller's job was not just to prosecute or exonerate Trump. Trump thinks the whole world, including Mueller's investigation, revolves around Donnie Trump and nothing else.
Don't fall for Trump's trap -- instead go back and read the list of all the things that Mueller was originally charged with investigating. It's somewhat broad and always has been. Thus, it's going to take a while.
OK but it sure looks like Facebook is gong to own a large part of the election charges. It is a stretch to claim that the election was rigged by propaganda.
You're right. Digenova's hiring was announced by another Trump lawyer, Sekolow, who should have known the status of the conflicts before he announced it:

It's unlikely FB had a hand in violating any campaign or election related laws. They may (MAY) have violated their FTC consent decree. That's it.
That's probably right, but it doesn't stop me fantasizing about Mark Zuckerburg being frog-marched off to the hoosegow.
I don't have a belief about that. My "Wut?" indicated that I don't know what you're talking about.
I may not. But claiming Facebook allowed targeted collusion is the base case today.
Thanks for letting me know what people like me are thinking about these days.
Here's a tell: If you find me using phrases like "frog-marched off to the hoosegow," I may have had a drink or two. If you find me making incoherent claims about the "base case today", though, then someone has stolen my password.
And 'frog-marched" is French for square dancing.
Not since I allemanded left in fifth grade.
Hoosegow is an illegal immigrant from the southern border.
A German prison is a "Gefaengnis." At least according to Collins. I don't speak German anymore, so take what I say about the language with a grain of salt.
Somehow, despite all the best efforts of my gym teachers, I never fell in love with square dancing.
Looking back, the amount of time I spent square dancing in gym class just seems really odd now.
One of my favorites. We had a dog named Goose growing up who wandered. Police always picked him up , so of course the phrase was Goose is in the hoosegow again.
