You can’t make this stuff up!

"Seeking a lead attorney to represent client involved in an ongoing Federal investigation. Must be familiar with laws and procedures around discovery, executive privilege, international financing of licensed real estate, election law and the Logan Act. Working knowledge of social media, especially Twitter is a plus, as is a better than average knowledge of the adult film industry and a collection of Playboy magazines from 1985-2010. Must look the part - Gregory Peck or Tommy Lee Jones type. Prior appearances on Fox News a huge plus.
No fatties."


Looks like someone is trying to help the 'Deadbeat' president out with his attorney problems.

"Trump has lawyers who aren't really lawyers. They're thugs who weaponize the legal system." - Trump biographer Tim O'Brien:

These lawyers have made their fortune working for Trump by terrorizing, painting contractors, caterers, and piano salesmen. They are not criminal defense lawyers. None of the top criminal defense lawyers his people have approached are interested in representing a fucking lunatic like Donald Trump. DiGenova is gone, Toensing wants nothing to do with him, the only one left is Jay Sekulow who wouldn't know a criminal courtroom if it bit him on his fat white messianic Jew ass. - Ike Bana

Also from Timothy O'Brien:

Once upon a time — long before The Apprentice and the golf courses and the TRUMP-branded-underwear-vodka-mattresses-steaks-wine-and-who-knows-what-else and the questionable online education venture and the choreographed wrestling farces and the phallic skyscrapers and the sprawling casinos and the boxing matches and the magazine covers and the beauty pageants and the fisticuffs with City Hall and the serial bankruptcies and the bungled real estate deals and the yacht and the airline and the shady, thuggish business partners and the three marriages and the football team and the 2016 presidential race and the size of his Trump junk and the litany of DOPES! and LOSERS! and the guerrilla takeover of GOP debates and the flagrant race-baiting and the Great Wall of Mexico and the proposals for deporting eleven million people and the 6.6 million Facebook friends and and the seven million Twitter followers and the brawls at political rallies and the flip-flopping on abortion and the punishments for abortions and the nuclear weapons for Japan and South Korea and the white supremacists and Megyn Kelly’s menstrual cycle and John McCain’s war record and Hillary Clinton getting schlonged and Barack Obama’s birth certificate and Mitt Romney’s kneeling — Donald set his sights on Hollywood.

–Timothy O’Brien, introduction to “TrumpNation”

Scott Pruitt is so utterly corrupt, yet he praises Donny on Faux every chance he gets, so hasn't been shitcanned yet for his flagrant ethics violations. Not to mention his complete disregard for the mandate of the agency he heads.

And then there's this:

Administrator Scott Pruitt reportedly pushed last year for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to redesign its official memorabilia in ways emphasizing his name, and in some cases removing the agency's logo.

The dude's a legend in his own mind.

Within minutes of his firing in May, former FBI Director James Comey received a call from John Kelly, then the head of the Department of Homeland Security and now the White House chief of staff.

According to Comey’s account, which is set to appear in his highly anticipated forthcoming memoir, Kelly was “emotional” over the manner in which Comey was let go. The then-FBI director was in California at the time, speaking to FBI agents in Los Angeles, and only found out that he was out of a job when he saw the news break on TV.

Kelly, Comey recalls, said he was “sick” about the situation and “intended to quit” in protest. Kelly “said he didn’t want to work for dishonorable people,” referring specifically to President Donald Trump, who appeared to be upset at the FBI’s persistent investigation into his campaign’s possible collusion with Russian officials.

The fallout from this should be interesting.

A Drexel University law school dean has joined with 14 law professors from around the country seeking sanctions by the D.C. Bar against South Jersey native Kellyanne Conway, a counselor to President Donald Trump.

Conway should be sanctioned for violating government ethics rules and “conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation,” according to the letter, which was signed by Susan L. Brooks, a Drexel professor of law and an associate dean.

A similar ethics complaint will seek disbarment of Conway in New Jersey, added Brooks, who said she was speaking as an individual, not as a representative of Drexel.
