THIS. Joe Brenner, former IG of the NSA

[ancianita]

In response to the whistleblower's revelation of the fact of Trump's WH counsel storing the president's phone transcripts to the National Security Council password-coded secret server.

Indeed. Where were the lawyers?!

[ffr]

1. Those WH lawyers are betting everything, their ABA licenses, all future job opportunities,

everything, that tRump's Titan isn't going down after hitting Pelosi's iceberg.

Brenner's right. They better be seeking counsel and preparing for what's coming.

[ancianita]

2. One would think that lawyers, more than anyone, would know better.

3. Apparently, morals are optional for DC attorneys

[ancianita]

4. Definitely for those who don't know the morals of their bosses, yes. DC is law country, made up of

lawyers who work the system for men, and those lawyers who love the law.

Lawyers aren't a monolith.

7. the man is a self-professed pussy grabbing CON MAN

how STUPID are these people?!?!?!

8. imo, It's not about him. Its about them. Some work to serve the actual leader; some work for

the institution of the White House and office of the presidency, not the actual president.

It depends on the level of staff, who can make all the difference until the occupant sweeps away all any distinction between the WH institution and himself.

9. They get sucked in and lose perspective.

They're living from moment to moment in that chaos, doing what the President wants. I am sure many will have regrets...but it will be too late. They will be disbarred and/or their reputation will be in tatters.

10. He is not worth it.

He has no morals, no integrity, no shame, no intelligence, nothing at all. He will throw them all under the bus, to save himself. It is his lifelong pattern. Either he has promised pardons to everyone, promised to pay their legal bills (from the fund raising RNC money) or something else worthwhile. Whatever the reasons they stick with him, they are making themselves look just as hollow as he is. Empty vessel, completely useless. I seriously doubt that any of them had integrity or morals to begin with, otherwise they would be working in an honest company. It is obvious that the gop members who stand by him are trying to hold onto their power. EVERYONE knows people such as Moscow Mitch, Nunes, Graham, McCarthy, Barr have no core of decency, they are protecting their own worthless careers.
