OT: Trump needs a better lawyer...

[Alan Baker]

...but none of them will go near him, so he's stuck with Kasowitz:

'After the public testimony of former FBI Director James Comey on
Thursday, President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, Marc Kasowitz,
released a statement. In addition to being riddled with typos, it
contained a curious legal argument.

Kasowitz contended that Comey broke the law by leaking memos about his
private conversations with the president — what the statement called an
“unauthorized disclosure of private information.”

The not-so-subtle implication here is that any and every conversation
with the president is privileged, and therefore protected under the law.
That’s a rather broad interpretation of executive privilege, and one
that 10 legal experts disputed in interviews with Vox.'

'Jed Shugerman, Professor of Law, Fordham University

"Trump waived any claim on executive privilege when he wrote in an
official presidential statement a reference to the "three times" Comey
told him he was not personally under investigation. By referring
publicly to their conversations and this content, he waived his claim
for privilege and secrecy of those exchanges."'

There are nine more, wingnuts.

Enjoy!
