that as the first thing i thought!!! I've heard of ex-presidents being called upon to intervene diplomatically (was it Clinton or carter that went to NK to get a prisoner?) but the STATE department dispatching the PRESIDENT'S lawyer?????????

I cannot FATHOM why drumpf has not fired that guy, let alone pulled him off TV. Every time he goes on TV he admits to a crime!!!!!!!!!!
