When your lawyers are routinely hiring lawyers of their own you're well into sitcom territory.

If they are halfway competent their first instruction will be stop fucking saying anything.

[Fujikoma]

Well it makes sense, you're going to get emotional if you're about to get raw-dogged in court as fuck, so you want someone else to represent you, just typically this kind of thing doesn't come up in polite discussion, I guess, until now. My mom finally stopped trying to discuss politics every time we talk, that's a sign that dark days are ahead. Politics have been a shitty subject and everyone fucking knew it was since it was all a KGB plot to fuck everyone, but hey, here we are.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Thursday denied a report that he wanted Attorney General William Barr to hold a press conference to declare he broke no laws during a July phone call in which Trump pressed his Ukrainian counterpart to investigate Democrats.

Trump tweeted just after midnight that the story, first reported by The Washington Post, "is totally untrue and just another FAKE NEWS story with anonymous sources that don't exist."

And he continued to lash out at the press, declaring "The LameStream Media" to be the "Enemy of the People."

The Post reported that Barr rebuffed the request, which came in September around the time the White House released a rough transcript of Trump's July 25 call at the center of the House impeachment probe. The paper, citing unidentified people familiar with the effort, said the request was relayed from the president to White House officials, and then to the Justice Department.

WASHINGTON (AP) — There were three words President Donald Trump wanted to hear from the Ukraine president: Investigations, Biden and Clinton.

That's according to the transcript, released Thursday, of an impeachment inquiry interview with career State Department official George Kent.

"Potus wanted nothing less than President Zelenskiy to go to the microphone and say investigations, Biden and Clinton," Kent testified.

"That was the message. ... Zelenskiy needed to go to a microphone and basically there needed to be three words in the message, and that was the shorthand," he said.

  He is so totally fucked.

Not necessarily in an impeachment sense, just in general.

NEW YORK (AP) — A judge Thursday ordered President Donald Trump to pay $2 million to an array of charities as a fine for misusing his own charitable foundation to further his political and business interests.

New York state Judge Saliann Scarpulla imposed the penalty after the president admitted to a series of abuses that were outlined in a lawsuit brought against him last year by the New York attorney general's office.

Among other things, Trump acknowledged he improperly allowed his presidential campaign staff to coordinate with the Trump Foundation in holding a fundraiser for veterans during the run-up to the 2016 Iowa caucuses. The event was designed "to further Mr. Trump's political campaign," Scarpulla said.

The foundation will be dissolved and its $1.7 million in remaining funds will be given to other nonprofits, under agreements reached by Trump's lawyers and the attorney general's office.

As part of those agreements , made public Thursday, the two sides left it up to the judge to decide what penalty Trump should pay.

The settlement was an about-face for Trump. He and his lawyers have blasted the lawsuit as politically motivated, and he tweeted, "I won't settle this case!" when it was filed in June 2018.

Oh my fucking god.

It's like he's trying to make it worse! And make less sense! I'm baffled, what the fuck could possess anyone to say this??? This doesn't make any sense at all!

It's Rudy.  He can arrange a plea on your traffic ticket and get it reduced to second-degree murder.

Bolton is also saying there were additional problems with the Ukraine affair that have not yet been reported on. He's still discussing things with his lawyers though, so he hasn't said what.

I am convinced that Bolton is just itching to stick the knife in Trump.  He isn't known for being a forgiving man.
