Rachel: Trump's new legal team a PR team, hired to explain DT's actions after he ends investigation

[highplainsdem]

Ends it by "other means" than a legal battle, apparently suggesting Trump is planning to fire Mueller or find some other way to shut down the investigation.

And the latest additions to Trump's legal team (DiGenova and Toensing) are the people he'll want to explain his actions on Fox News.

Now I’m F---ing Doing It My Way”: Jubilant and Self-Liberated, the President Prepares for War with Mueller
With John Dowd out, John Kelly and Ty Cobb marginalized, Joseph diGenova on board, and Marc Kasowitz possibly returning, the next battle comes into focus.

3. Prepares for war with Mueller

Well we know how that'll turn out, cadet bone spurs up against a decorated Marine.

Fun to watch if it wasn't so scary.

4. What.?!

My brain is staring to slow....

5. I'll happily take the idiot's "Nixon plan" exit.

Fire Sessions, Rosenstein and Mueller on a Saturday night - we call that a "massacre."

Republicans confirm this ends his precedency - Pence "helps" him out of office.

And "our long national nightmare is over."

6. Crap. That makes way too much sense.

7. When Rachael said this angle I said, "That makes perfect sense".

He needs his cult/base to stay focused on his BS lies and distractions from the facts (Mueller). These idiots serve a dual purpose. They already have the Fux Ruse spin machine experience and the attention of the voters in the red states AND now they work for the Moron directly and can advise him in person instead of via the W House TV set.

8. It might be even worse: the start of his own propaganda team (Putin's suggestion perhaps?)

Since they're actually Trump admin folks, they'll be welcomed on CNN, MSNBC, and other news outlets that don't typically feature RW nutcases. They're going to blanket the media with lies and bullshit. So what's the next step after taking over the media? Is that when the lights will go out or are there a few more steps before trump's Reichstag?

10. I fear that Rachel is correct on this

[poboy2]

11. the phrase 'catapulting the propaganda' just isn't enough to capture what

is about to be projected.

Epic shitflow ahead.

12. Oh hell, let him fire Mueller

It's not going to stop the investigation. It will however, pound the nail into the coffin of the obstruction case. Firing didn't work for Nixon, it's not going to work for Trump either.
