Secret recording reveals GOP lawmaker freaking out about ‘going down with the ship’ for Trump

quote:

“It’s basically being taken out on me,” she said of Trump’s erratic behavior. “Any Republican member of Congress, you are going down with the ship. And we’re going to hand the gavel to Pelosi in 2018, they only need 28 seats and the path to that gavel being handed over is through my seat. And right now, it doesn’t matter that it’s me, it doesn’t matter what I’ve done. I have an ‘R’ next to my name and right now, this environment would have me not prevail.”

McSally then complained that liberal activists were completely tying her to Trump, thus making it impossible for her to tout her own independent record as a member of Congress.

“The environment has changed and some of it changed on January 20,” she said. “There’s just an element out there that’s just, like, so against the president. Like they just can’t see straight. And all of a sudden on January 20, I’m like his twin sister to them. And I’m, like, responsible for everything he does, and tweets and says. And they want me to be spending my time as a pundit. ‘I disagree with that. I agree with this.’ I have a job in the legislature!”

As a general rule, you should never let your client speak under oath if you can help it. Even if they're an experienced lawyer, things could be misinterpreted, they could gently caress up, or maybe lie when it is otherwise something they don't do. That's just how you minimize risk.

This is more important if your client is the President and probably a death sentence if he's Donald Trump.

That's why you gotta ask him directly if he'll do it. If you ask Trump himself, he'll say gently caress yes of course I'll speak under oath get me a goddamn bible or whatever right the gently caress now

So can the president be brought in to testify the same way Comey did yesterday to get his side of the story under oath?

Serious answer: congress can subpoena him but Trump as president can refuse.

Trump is far too stupid to refuse, though. Just tell him it will be on television and he'll offer to testify twice.

Nope. Not even remotely. This does not prevent Trump from pushing for a prosecution (as he's apparently doing) or Session going along with it. They'll be laughed out of court and smacked down harder than Melania when Trump gets a bit of bad news, but they can try.

Don't need CNN for that. Just request that he suck your dick and inform him of his status as a fuckman and you get blocked.
Funny thing is that I was unblocked a couple of months ago so I tweeted it at him again and got blocked a second time. lol

What I'm saying is, it's no wonder Trump has no taste. Also the shine of gold reminds him of his favourite liquid.

And Jackie Chan is a PRC shill, gently caress him.

Lol, Trump thinks he has a genetic predisposition towards success that no one else does. All he really inherited was a an insane willingness to screw over anyone and everyone for a dollar.

Like even now as president, if he were to do a tour of diners in the midwest, I could see him swiping a tip off a table at least once.
