Donald Trump Owes Me Money!


Dammit.

My career has been marked by a succession of people who have done very well by taking to heart casual things that I’ve said for free.

Trump is now going with “advice of counsel” in relation to Cohen.

Goddammit, I want to get paid this time:

Tonight I’m going with:

“Well, yes, he directed people to do illegal stuff, but you make it sound as if he did it because it was illegal. He didn’t know any of that stuff was illegal. Heck, his own lawyer, Michael Cohen, told him it was legal. He didn’t know any of that stuff was illegal and he’s shocked to find out that his lawyers knew all that stuff was illegal and never said anything. So, you see, Trump couldn’t have been doing anything illegal, since he didn’t even know it was.

Should Ken Starr Have Had The Authority To Criminally Indict Bill Clinton?

Ken Starr was the independent counsel charged with investigating various matters during the Clinton presidency. On the basis of his investigation, Bill Clinton was impeached, but was not convicted in the Senate.

As a federal prosecutor, should Ken Starr have had the authority and ability to indict President Clinton and proceed with a criminal trial on whatever charges he may have framed?

Why or why not?

Predict Trump's next line of defense


C’mon, step right up and be Trump’s legal counsel. Get up and state the defense of your client.

It’s okay, you couldn’t do worse than his own actual lawyer, Rudy Giuliani.

Tonight I’m going with:

“Well, yes, he directed people to do illegal stuff, but you make it sound as if he did it because it was illegal. He didn’t know any of that stuff was illegal. Heck, his own lawyer, Michael Cohen, told him it was legal. He didn’t know any of that stuff was illegal and he’s shocked to find out that his lawyers knew all that stuff was illegal and never said anything. So, you see, Trump couldn’t have been doing anything illegal, since he didn’t even know it was.

You know, in criminal law, the defendant has to have a menstrualia, or a men’s room, or whatever the fuck the Latin phrase is for not having a guilty mind, heart, or anything else.”

And I’d tell Trunp he could start tweeting about how he doesn’t have menorrhea, or whatever.
