'There is no fall guy': George Conway says Trump's fingerprints are 'literally' on the documents

Bob Brigham
August 23, 2022

Prominent conservative attorney George Conway described Donald Trump's legal maneuvering as "incomprehensible" during a Tuesday evening interview on CNN.

"So here's the question, did one of Trump's allies actually further implicate the former president of a potential crime?" CNN's Laura Coates asked. "After all, it was this letter that Trump ally John Solomon disclosed last night that revealed alarming new details about those 15 boxes of materials investigators received back in January."

"And it's inexplicable to me other than you have a deranged client and bad advisers, both legal and political, Conway said. "That's the only explanation I have for it, but he is basically -- what he should be doing with this documents case is what he did in the New York attorney general case, which is pleading the Fifth Amendment and keeping his mouth shut."

1. Increasingly it seems that Trump's best defense for all the crimes he's committed will be insanity.

9. How would we even know? Trump has been completely divorced from reality for years.

I suspect his family will have him conveniently declared incompetent just before the DOJ closes in. His parking lot attorney can go on FOX to argue he suffered a complete mental breakdown and had to be institutionalized for electroconvulsive therapy.

we know that Trump rummaged through the boxes.

Just food for thought; Donald Trump could be indicted tomorrow for theft of government property. All of the ducks are lined up in a row.

That's just a starting point.

I held them as I reviewed them when my staff presented them to me when I was in the White House.

Is that what we're going to hear TFG say as his latest excuse?

Justice matters.

and stored in unsecured premises for over a year and a half.

Witnesses (and CCTV TAPES) say the donnie went through the boxes.

The only thing he had to do then was to alert the NA that he didn't know they were there and that they must come take them back.

Instead, he obstructed their efforts to get them back in secured premises where they belong multiple times!

LOCK IT UP, as well as other suspect properties.


Charge on anything, raise the ante later. Get all the mules out of circulation before the nation is fatally compromised. Putrumpkin's doomsday machine.

I believe IMNSHO that spies abroad saw documents, and this coincided with visits from Orban and Saudis. WTF do you think Joe Biden was discussing with MBS, whom he despises? More than oil.

This situation was a ruptured aorta. And with the surveillance cam? It demanded instant action, and hopefully a lot more to get the parties off the streets. Pronto.

Just an opinion.
