evilweasel posted:I wouldn't open an ethics investigation into him for that: it's almost certainly a fuckup not intentional deception. There's no benefit to a lie that will be immediately disproven, he probably thought he had a gotcha and hosed up. I wasn't thinking sanctions, I was thinking a prudent reminder that loving up like a paralegal in small claims court on the national stage will have implications for his prospects.

Xombie posted:Trump to Comey in dinner meeting: "End the investigation" I'll tell you what. You copy that to your congressmen, tell them this is proof that Trump fired Comey expressly to end the investigation, and ask them to impeach. I don't think it's proof but I'm just an idiot (this has been pointed out multiple times so far) on the Internet.

DarkCrawler posted:So uh...the official word from the White House is that Trump doesn't lie...? This is why I really liked Comey's bit about how you have to consider the entire testimony of the witness in assessing credibility, and how you can't cherry pick the parts you like and the parts you don't. He knows he's got Trump beat in a he said/he said situation when it comes to overall credibility.

We were also unsure and equivocating at that time (maybe others on this board don't remember, but we weren't this certain back then). The white house transcript leak firmly pushed us into the "ok, we now have definitive proof" conclusion.

I know many want to think Kasowitz is a clown because he represents Trump, but his firm is a pretty legitimate nationwide law firm. I don't know if they were the right choice for this particular kind of matter, but when a reputation for non-payment precedes you, you work with the options you have.Fitzy Fitz posted:I'm glad I'm not the only one wondering why Kasowitz double-spaces after periods. Many older law firm partners do this. It's really annoying, but they will get on an associate's case if they don't follow the old "two spaces after each period" rule.

Mendrian posted:It is an ancient custom, long since lost in the annuls of history. Yeah, that's where I learned it too  It's doubly unnecessary on computers because not only will modern text layout systems do their own kerning tweaks to get the right amount of space after a period, web browsers will ignore runs of consecutive spaces after the first anyway.

"Yeah but Republicans won't impeach him" is about the most cowardly assertion made in this thread, which is saying a lot. They wouldn't impeach him for caught-on-tape murder.

In my head the brodyquest song is playing with a cutout of McCain saying "President Comey, President Comey, President Comey...." With occasional breaks for "I am deeply disturbed" Just making sure though, brodyquest didn't suddenly become an internet nazi thing like some other memes right?
