Interesting - another establishment lawyer (and a top SCOTUS appellate lawyer) is showing Trump the end game.

[CWW]

“Trump”, not Trum”.

Thank you, Ted!

I believe Ted Olson’s wife Barbara was on the flight that crashed into the field in PA on 911. She was a great lady and a FOX News contributor. RIP Mrs Olson.

Please do not alter the original title. It causes duplicate postings when the OP searches on it. Thanks.

[CWW]

No worries. Will do!

It’s hard for me to imagine Ted Olsen would be unbiased enough to give this take on the situation. His arguments pretty much inflicted ‘gay marriage’ on every state, overturning state amendments by the federal government. He must be able to look himself in the mirror, I guess.

She was a loyal Freeper, too.

Her plane crashed into the Pentagon. She was a wonderful intelligent lady we miss so much.

At this point, the judge would probably require Mueller to show precisely what he wants from the president, why he needs it, why he cannot get the evidence elsewhere, and the importance of that evidence to a specific prosecution. Mueller would have to be highly specific and show that his need for the president’s testimony as a witness—not for the purpose of discovery—was necessary to prosecute specific criminal acts.

Not for the purpose of discovery, yes, that's part of the issue, and the other part is not to attempt to trick the President into statements that do not match evidence that is already in hand but not disclosed to the court. No perjury traps allowed.

All this assumes that Mueller's word is good on both topics, and in fact it isn't good on any topic. He is a known liar who isn't at all above misrepresenting his intentions here. I wouldn't advise Trump to dignify this idiot charade with his presence.

That is news to me but no surprise. She was an excellent voice for conservatives and an extremely capable debate opponent. If I remember correctly she used to give it to Hannitys side kick in the old days. I can’t remember the guys name but he is gone now too.

[Sicon]

Alan Colmes, or something like that. Weasely looking simp, he was.

[Sicon]

Here you go. He has what some might call a very punchable face...

[MHGinTN]

Alan ‘the dead head’ Colmes

[Fungi]

Yep. He claims the high ground yet defends immorality.

[Equine1952]

I couldn’t remember his name and forgot which plane she was on. Thanks, seems like it was a century ago until 911 each year. Then seems like yesterday.
