[HipChick]

here we go..

President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, John Dowd, told The Daily Beast on Saturday morning that he hopes Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein will shut down the Mueller probe.

Reached for comment by email about the firing of former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, sent The Daily Beast the text of Trump’s most recent tweet on the subject, which applauded the firing. Then he wrote that Rosenstein should follow Sessions' lead
“I pray that Acting Attorney General Rosenstein will follow the brilliant and courageous example of the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility and Attorney General Jeff Sessions and bring an end to alleged Russia Collusion investigation manufactured by McCabe’s boss James Comey based upon a fraudulent and corrupt Dossier,” Dowd then wrote.

He told The Daily Beast he was speaking on behalf of the president, in his capacity as the president’s attorney.

1. Trump's getting bolder by the day.

I hope he learns a lesson. As my father told me, there's a saying among military pilots: "There are bold pilots and there are old pilots, but there are no old bold pilots." He piloted B-17s in WWII. He and his crews all survived.

May Trump understand that soon.

2. Yes, it is very noticeable now. This may all come to a head sooner that we expected.

4. All part of a strategy to publicly pressure Rosenstein to stop the Mueller investigation...

5. I have great confidence

that any time for "lesson learning" for trump has certainly passed. As has any hope of him understanding anything.

6. Dowd sounds down right giddy. Rosenstein's days are numbered because I doubt he will do

anything like Dowd's wishes.

7. Its called wheaseling out....

imagine an investigation when the main subject isn't heard from. Time to call him in for the interview now, or a invitation to the grand jury. Trump is in for rough weather and stormy seas.

9. John Dowd amazes me

*I* would make a better attorney than he is.

After gleefully joining in on the obstruction of justice with that ill-conceived remark this morning that he is speaking for the President when he says the Mueller investigation should be ended, he tries to walk it back that no, he was only speaking for himself, not the President.

What a moron.
