Trump Attorney melts down during interview with Fox News...

1. Sekulow is the sort of attorney trump deserves. (nt)

[jpak]

12. What a Maroon

[Paladin]

20. I used to see Sekulow's TV show, every once in a while.

Like so many mouthpieces for the radical religious right, he never exhibited a shred of genuine decency or morality---nothing but anger, hate, and the desire to inflict punishment on those who held views contrary to his own. Small wonder that trump sought him out for his legal team.

[SergeStorms]

22. I'm sure he was....

highly recommended by Bannon and his ilk. Trump isn't smart enough to choose an entree at a restaurant.

[writes3000]

2. Go, Chris Wallace! Never thought I'd say that! Fantastic job at keeping him honest.

[BSdetect]

3. What a whiner.

[YCHDT]

4. Somebody call the whambalance and get this guy some French Cries

[Kaleva]

6. LOL

[Boomerproud]

5. A dweeb interviewing a bigger dweeb.

BTW, Comey is and never was Agent Orange's (thank you to another DUer for that) lawyer so the RW douche bags should be called out every time they said he violated client/lawyer privilege.

[Gothmog]

7. This trump attorney is not a criminal defense attorney

[dgauss]

8. Kind of reminds me of Nathan Thurm

9. I liked when Wallace called him on his inconsistency, and Sekulow denied what he JUST SAID

...and in a totally demeaning manner, like Wallace is stupid:

Sekulow: "So he's being INVESTIGATED for taking the action he was recommended to take"
Wallace: "First of all, you just admitted he's being investigated... "
Sekulow" "No!"
Wallace: "You just said..."
Sekulow: "He's NOT being investigated!"
Wallace: "You just said that he's being investigated"
Sekulow: "I just said that the investiga...anythi...let me be CRYSTAL clear so you can completely understand...BLAH BLAH"
Wallace: "Sir, you just said two times that he's being investigated"
Sekulow: (Rolls his eyes)

LOL. If I had the power to force Conald the Grump to use a lawyer of my choice, this would be my guy.

[Cha]

13. That's verbatim? thanks for that!

[mr_lebowski]

28. I understand what Sekulow was trying to say ...

It's really not that hard ... if you simply understand that his explanation of the tweet is &quot Drumpf) is responding to the article SAYING he's being investigated".

IOW, Drumpf was (to Sekulow's reasoning/spin) NOT trying to say "Yes, I'm being investigated" like it's factual, rather it was like &quot Oh, RIGHT, so according to this article) I'm being investigated for ... blah blah?!?".

Drumpf left out the part in parentheses, and that's what Sekulow's point/argument is, that's 'what he meant'.

I followed it fairly easily, and to me Wallace was kinda engaging in 'gotcha' stuff there, and so is everyone else saying 'he's admitted he's under investigation'. No, he didn't. Or, at least, the case can be made 'that wasn't what he meant'.

Don't get me wrong, FCK Donald Drumpf ... but we don't need to resort to the same sort of BS he engages in all the time to bring him down. Saying 'he admitted he's being investigated' is a form of 'fake news', and we don't have to go there. Opens us up to invalid claims that we don't actually care about 'the truth', when we clearly DO.

We should all be 'used to' the surrogates coming out and spinning the Drumpf shitty, unclear Tweets into some semblance of something 'sensible' ... to the rest of us. Lame as that entire concept is ...

Also ... "Revolutionized?" What a dick. Like Obama didn't have the mental acumen to use Twitter to reach the public if he'd wanted to. Instead he maintained the proper DIGNITY and DECORUM of the friggin' OFFICE of POTUS, unlike your 'client' who makes a fcking MOCKERY of it every damn day.

[zipplewrath]

29. you are right

What the idiot is trying to say is that Trump is responding to the accusation that he is being investigated, not the FACT that he is being investigated. However, the real sad part is that he could know BEFORE he tweets with a simple phone call. Could we have a dumber president if we tried? I don't think so.

[flibbitygiblets]

34. I got what he was trying to say too, my point was more that his lawyer is terrible at his job

Also, Kellyanne came out today and said Trump's investigtion tweet was just "irony".

Neither of which lame excuse matters, what's more interesting is that the president of the US (via Twitter and his spokespeople) is more interested in pushing the message that he isn't under investigation than pretty much anything else. Which ironically keeps the subject front-page news.

[sprinkleeninow]

36. Mocking the highest office of our land.

FRAUD!!

[Stuart G]

10. Is this the Cris Wallace...who had a father...let's see.., Mike Wallace

Is he the one..?..yea, he even looks like Mike...So Chris gave an assh**e some of what his father had..
good for Chris...nice to see that now and them ....father would be proud..

oh my..........here they are on Larry King Live...together...they are on a couple of times...but at the end..starting at around 5:00. Chris says to Mike..."I love you " ....you got to see it..

[Kingofalldems]

11. Let me be clear:

Sekulow is an asshole. In fact are there any Trump employees or associates who aren't?

[elmac]

14. tRump revolutionized the election process alright

by bring Putin in. Con man defending a con man.

[tammywammy]

15. This is what happens when you're such a shitty client you can only get a 4th string lawyer. n/t

[lindysalsagal]

16. Fell apart and got repetetively defensive on MTP, too.

Just aping the talking points, but not making any sense. Can't explain why fRump tweeted that he IS under investigation.

[BumRushDaShow]

17. Wow. That guy WAS all over the place

and Wallace refused to give him any room to keep maneuvering and flip-flopping.

[cwydro]

18. K and r. nt

[lindysalsagal]

19. Gingrich is doing the same on George Steph.

Defensive blah blah blah. Hillary took the money. Blah blah blah...

And No one wants to investigate the russian election misdeeds. Because they already know they colluded with russia.

[SergeStorms]

21. Oh, what a twisted tweet....

he weaves, when the twisted twit tweets to deceive. Or something like that.

[BainsBane]

23. Why does he think Comey was Trump's lawyer?

How much is Trump paying for this guy? He's terrible. He's worse than Spicey.

[nadine_mn]

32. You mean about the part about how Seklow

Has respect for atty-client privilege unlike Comey?

I caught that too and started yelling there is no client privilege between 45 and Comey.

He said it at least 2x - like he was really insulting Comey, What a fucking idiot

But Trump probably loved it and thought he really handed it to Wallace

[FenwayDonkey]

24. Sekulow is used to playing patty cake with Pat Robertson.*

[AwakeAtLast]

25. If you're melting down on FOX NEWS

I think you are automatically toast.

[stopbush]

26. Just like tRump - picks a lawyer because he saw him on Faux News.

Idiot.

[janterry]

27. The irony is that Trump will watch this

and applaud.

[gratuitous]

30. Until it becomes apparent that Sekulow did him no favors

At which point, Trump will stab out a bunch of nonsense with his stubby little thumbs.

[Sugarcoated]

31. Fantastic

Wallace brilliantly handled that slimey worm

[kentuck]

33. Spin, spin, spin....

[Le Gaucher]

35. Is it me or do they look like twins ??
