4. Attorney Client Privilege WAS NEVER MEANT TO COVER UP CRIMINAL CONDUCT...

Maybe.... Trump's Attorney should have explained that to him.



The attorney-client privilege protects most communications between clients and their lawyers. But, according to the crime-fraud exception to the privilege, a client's communication to his/her attorney isn't privileged if he/she made it with the intention of committing or covering up a crime or fraud.

It's going to get nasty.

Look at the body language of this cornered, criminal rat-bastard: Arms folded in defiance, clenched jaw, spewing lies.

Who the fuck knows what he does next? Pray for our planet (and I say that as an atheist) ...

to quite publicly perp-walk him out of the White House in a straight jacket. The nation and our world neighbors need to see what a fully functioning, independent judiciary looks like. No one above the law. No emperors, no kings, no tyrants.

Let's stop this thundering fascism while we still can.

8. Witch Hunts?

Like the one against Hillary? Witch Hunts don't have people admitting guilt, or pleading guilty for what they've done against the law. Only the guilty whine about what's happening to them in this position, like trump's doing now. The damming evidence they have to do this has to be to a higher level, so having met the level for this means they have got some pretty bad stuff on Cohen already, and soon to increase a lot more. A lot of people I would bet are nervous from their actions in this administration. Legal warrant being carried out, and trump suggesting the opposite again is typical from the orange one.
