FYI, The Rich History Of The (Sleaze bag) Lawyer "I Am Not A Potted Plant" Line.
Re: Rachel Maddow's show tonight, and the court transcript quoting the sleaze bag lawyer who is defending the sleaze bag lawyers who were defending Trump constantly shouting "I am not a potted plant!"
That line has a rich history, rooted in Republican sleaze bag hit job operations. It originated with the Iran-Contra hearings, and the lawyer (Brendan Sullivan) defending national disgrace Oliver North.
