Trump Lawyers' New Legal Advice: STOP TALKING!!!

DONALD TRUMP, BECAUSE OF THE POSITION HE HOLDS THAT I WON'T
NAME, HAS ACCESS TO WHITE HOUSE LAWYERS.
IT JUST COMES WITH THE
JOB. AND THOSE ARE THE SORT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPERIENCED WITH
THE SORT OF INVESTIGATION HE NOW FINDS HIMSELF THE TARGET OF.
THEY UNDERSTAND HOW TO COUNSEL PEOPLE TO PROTECT THEMSELVES, TO
PREPARE FOR CONGRESSIONAL TESTIMONY, OR SPEAKING TO
SOMEONE LIKE SPECIAL COUNSEL BOB MUELLER, THEY KNOW HOW TO ACT IN
THAT SITUATION.
SO OBVIOUSLY DONALD TRUMP HAS NO INTEREST IN
USING THEM AND HAS DECIDED TO USE HIS GOOFBALL LAWYER INSTEAD.
THE NEW YORK TIMES REPORTED ON SUNDAY OF THIS WEEK
THAT --
WHEN COMEY WAS INITIALLY FIRED, LET ALONE AFTER HIS TESTIMONY,
THE DOMINANT MESSAGE I HEARD FROM A LOT OF PEOPLE WAS THIS IS
A TIME FOR PEOPLE WHO WORK IN THE WHITE HOUSE TO GET SOME SORT
OF REPRESENTATION.
THAT IN THE PAST LIKE WHEN BILL CLINTON WAS
BEING INVESTIGATED, THAT IS WHAT YOU DO. AND IT SEEMS ODD THAT
HIS PERSONAL LAWYER WOULD BE TELLING THEM NOT TO DO THAT,
THAT THEY SHOULD EFFECTIVELY CLAM UP, DON'T TALK TO THE
MEDIA, BUT OTHER THAN THAT JUST SORT OF HANG TIGHT.
THAT SEEMS
ODD TO ME, LIKE A STRATEGY DESIGNED NOT TO PROTECT THEM BUT
TO POTENTIALLY LEAVE THEM OUT TO BE INVESTIGATED OR ATTACKED, AND
THEN MAYBE THEREBY PROTECT TRUMP?
I'M NOT SURE.
>>I THINK A LAWYER WHO LOOKED AT DONALD TRUMP SEES THAT EVERY
CASE HE MAY HAVE IS UNDONE BY HIS TALKING, EITHER GOING ON
AIR, TWEETING, WRITING IN CERTAIN CASES -- THAT'S PART OF
IT TOO.
I THINK A LOT OF THAT IS WHAT A PERSONAL LAWYER WOULD SAY
THAT AND ADVISE THAT.
BECAUSE DON MCGANN IS THE WHITE HOUSE
COUNSEL AND CLEARLY HE DOESN'T THINK IT'S A BAD IDEA TO STOP
THE TWEETS BECAUSE HE'S BEEN IN THE TRUMP WHITE HOUSE AND ON THE
CAMPAIGN FOR QUITE A WHILE, HE'S GOT HIS OWN BEAT IN THAT WHITE
HOUSE.
BUT THIS GUY JUST HAS A CLIENT AND THE CLIENT ISN'T THE
WHITE HOUSE, IT IS THE PRESIDENT.
OR TRUMP.
SO I THINK
THERE IS PROBABLY -- THAT'S WHY HE'S TRYING TO CURB THIS, BUT I
DON'T THINK IT MATTERS AT THIS POINT BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE SO
MUCH HAS BEEN SAID BY THIS PRESIDENT, IT'S ALREADY DUG
IN, WHICH IS WHY YOU AREN'T SEEING MUCH.
>>THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT CONTRADICTORY THINGS BEING SAID.
WHEN THE PRESIDENT TWEETS ONE THING AND THEN A DIFFERENT
THING, IT HAPPENED ON THE MUSLIM BAN AND CONTINUES TO GET THEM
INTO TROUBLE, IT GOES ON DOWN THE LINE.
SO WHEN WHITE HOUSE
STAFFERS START SPEAKING AND THEN CONTRADICTING THEMSELVES, ALL OF
THAT CAN HAVE A LEGAL EFFECT.
BY THE WAY THIS LAWYER IS THE ONE
WHO SETTLED THE TRUMP UNIVERSITY CASE FOR 25 MILLION BUCKS.
>>MAYBE THAT WAS A GOOD DEAL FOR TRUMP, I DON'T KNOW.
AND JUST TO
MAKE CLEAR WHAT YOU WERE SAYING, AND A RECENT EXAMPLE OF DONALD
TRUMP SHOOTING HIMSELF IN THE FOOT, MAKING IT WORSE FOR
HIMSELF BY SPEAKING, YOU HAVE THE TAPE SITUATION.
SUPPOSEDLY
HE HAS THESE RECORDINGS OF JAMES COMEY.
HE MUST HAVE SEEN THAT AS
A GOOD MOVE, TO BRING THAT UP, BUT HE HAS PUT HIMSELF IN A
POSITION WHERE HE WILL EITHER BE HURT BY IT OR HE WILL BE HURT
WORSE BY IT.
IF THE TAPES EXIST, MY GUT AND EVERYTHING I KNOW
ABOUT JAMES COMEY AND DONALD TRUMP TELLS ME THEY WILL BACKUP
JAMES COMEY'S ACCOUNT OF WHAT WAS SAID.
BUT WE ALL KNOW IT'S
UNLIKELY THAT THOSE TAPES EXISTS, AND IF THEY DON'T,
THAT'S EVEN WORSE FOR DONALD TRUMP.
IF YOU ARE INVESTIGATING
OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE, HOW DOES IT LOOK IF A PRESIDENT MAKES UP
RECORDINGS TO TRY TO GET A POTENTIAL WITNESS IN A COURT
CASE TO BE QUIET?
THAT IS INTIMIDATION BEYOND -- IT'S
FANTASTICAL AT THAT POINT.
AND IT'S LIKELY TO BE THE CASE.
TWO
OTHER QUICK POINTS, TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA ABOUT MARK KASOWITZ --
IT'S AN INTERESTING GAME TO PLAY TO TRY TO FIND SOMEONE IN THE
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WHO DOESN'T HAVE SOME WEIRD CONNECTION TO
RUSSIAN OLIGARCHS, WE ARE STILL PLAYING IT BECAUSE THIS IS A
CASE WHERE WE DON'T WIN --
>>THAT'S WHO HE IS REPRESENTING ON THE SIDE, AND
BY THE WAY, TO
GIVE YOU AN IDEA ABOUT MARK KASOWITZ, THIS WILL BE THE MOST
SHALLOW CRITIQUE OF HIM YOU WILL HEAR TODAY, HE IS THE GUY WHO
WROTE THIS IN RESPONSE TO COMEY'S TESTIMONY --
>>HE MISSPELLED PRESIDENT IN AN OFFICIAL LETTER DEFENDING DONALD
TRUMP AGAINST JAMES COMEY'S TESTIMONY.
SHALLOW I KNOW --
>>BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE HE WILL FIT RIGHT IN WITH THE CREW
MAKING DECISIONS.
