There is a woman on MSNBC who has no idea of the difference between

"attorney at law" and "attorney in fact." On "The Beat" just a minute ago. Made me want to scream. Melber sort of bought into her silly argument, which made me want to throw stuff.

She was saying that if Cohen had "power of attorney" then Drumpf not signing the hush agreement was irrelevant or some such poppycock. No one has ever suggested Drumpf gave Cohen a Power of Attorney. Sheesh!

I'm surprised Melber didn't set her straight about what "power of attorney" means.

deplorables who will repeat it ad infinitum. You'd think Donna Brazzile (sp?) would have known enough to shut her up.
