Jesse Watters is the "lets go to Chinatown and make fun of the way they talk" guy so he's really, really got it ingrained to mockingly scream "racism" at every opportunity because that's totally what happened to him.

Both. Geraldo was sitting in "the liberal" chair so the basic Five formula is for him to point out their hypocrisy and villainy and then for them to all make jokes and mock him to distract from it rather than address anything. Its like every segment of every episode of The Five. Geraldo calling himself the pinata was basically right on the nose because that's the role of the person in that chair. To make the liberal case and then just let them all make fun of him and talk about anything but what he said until commercial.

But also its Watters' reflexive defense to undermine people pointing out his own racism by calling everything racist so making it into a joke.

How important is the trust with federal prosecutors for lawyers? Is it career-ending if broken, or is it something more along the lines that federal prosecutors will make their jobs more difficult in the future?

you hear people talk about why it's so hard for trump to get actual good lawyers to work for him, and one theory is that it's because they know they're going to have to destroy the relationships they've built in the way Kevin Downing certainly has. they're also making some very noteworthy judges hate them, too

the legal community really isn't that big in rich white collar federal criminal law circles.

It just feels like all of these bizarre schemes are probably sanctionable as well even if the exact circumstances have never happened before and likely won't ever happen again.

People are also floating potential obstruction of justice charges, or that these conversations aren't covered under Attorney-Client Privilege as neither one of them is a client.

So it could be WAY worse than just ruining professional relationships. Even if nobody gets disbarred or whatever, they'll be known to other rich white people as "That lawyer who screwed up so bad they lost their client's plea deal, and gave the feds even MORE evidence."

They still haven't fixed the problem yet. We are coming up on 4 months where vets have not received their gi bill housing benefits. Worse of all because they qualify for this housing benefit they don't qualify for much of the help that local communities and colleges can provide other nonveteran students.

Totally depressing to see we are at a high point of Trump disapproval, and it is only 60%.

I know horrible people like Trump exists. That doesn't get me down. What gets me down is the number of people that support such an obviously horrible person.

Don’t be so discriminating, plenty of the people who oppose the obviously horrible person are also terrible themselves, I dare say a vast majority of the human race pretty well sucks.
