Bleeped Agnew Lawyer Believes Trump Paying Manafort Legal Bills
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/24/2018 5:08:25 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Warning: when you invite a flamboyant, retired lawyer in his 80s onto your show, you might wind up getting foul language on the air, along with wild conspiracy theories.

Joe Scarborough learned that lesson the hard way today when he invited Martin London onto Morning Joe. London served as a lawyer to Spiro Agnew, and recently wrote a column suggesting that President Trump should consider resigning. At one point, London’s audio cut out, and when it came back, Scarborough said he hoped that his executive producer Alex Korson had hit the seven-second delay. We don’t know what London said — maybe there’s a good lip reader out there — but he apologized: “sorry about that.”

Later, Scarborough asked John Heilemann who was paying Paul Manafort’s legal bills, given that Manafort is “broke.” Heilemann said:

“I do not know the answer to that, but apparently Martin does. He suggested to me, passing me a note right here, that says that he thinks Donald Trump is paying his legal bills.”

When Heilemann asked London what he knows about that, London admitted: “I don’t know anything. I don’t have any facts.”

Spiro Agnew’s old lawyer thinks President Trump is paying Manafort’s legal bills, but admits “I don’t know anything. I don’t have any facts.”

The same guy is bleeped during the show, apparently for using foul language.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Joe’s digging deep for maniacs and pre-senile old men. What could be next for desperate Joe...a cadaver, a psycho lunatic or a look in the mirror?

45 years after Agnew’s resignation, this guy is still trying to cash in on his 15 minutes of fame. He scores a column in Time [which apparently still exists] and an appearance on Morning Joe.

I highly doubt Trump is paying anyone’s legal bills but his own.

Go mention Agnew, and roughly 80-percent of the nation have no idea who he was....some might even suggest that he was for some period of time the Commissioner of the NFL. So most of the folks watching Morning Joe are at a loss to figure out who this Agnew guy was.

-—“Spiro Agnew’s Lawyer”——

“Hey, all you interns!! Get a list of everyone and anyone you can find who had even a remote connection to Richard Nixon, make sure they also are anti-Trump and think Trump is in BIG trouble, and we’ll put them on the air immediately!!”

Per London’s bio, he graduated from Cornell in 1955. If he was 21 at the time, that would make him 84 today.

I think you nailed it. The MSM will be dragging out lots of other Nixon-era relics. Carl Bernstein will be in his glory.

I’m surprised he didn’t mention Howard Stern.

Expect this to be reported as FACT all weekend by the MSM. Chuck Todd will be sure to mention that it COULD be true, then have a couple loud libs on, to defend that idea.

Spiro Agnew’s nephew's first cousin thinks Agnew's old lawyer is a pedophile who steals money from old ladies when he's not raping children “but admits “I don’t know anything. I don’t have any facts.”

London admitted: “I don’t know anything. I don’t have any facts.”

Someone should print the above on hats and t-shirts and distribute them in all LibDemProg strongholds.
