This should be the last cartoon only edition for a few days. Watching the opening statements by the House managers is must see TV for me. When the defense starts tomorrow, I’ll be looking for any distraction I can find. By the way, Adam Schiff for pope!
i caught a couple of minutes of Sekulow spreading manure during a break. I don’t think Hollywood could have cast smarmy sleazy lawyer any better given every actor who ever lived to choose from. How does tRump manage to attract such repulsive people to be his disposable flunkies? From Kellyanne and Sarah to Rudy and all the Mikes, there’s not a one of them I’d allow into my house. And now he’s being defended by the firm of Evil, Worse and Sekulow. Were I to interview them, I’m sure I’d get into trouble for where I put the microphone (I’d need a new microphone for each interview).
The American Bar Association’s Model Rules of Professional Conduct says that a lawyer “shall not knowingly make a false statement of material fact.” Additionally, Rule 3.3 — Candor to the Tribunal states, “the lawyer must not allow the tribunal to be misled by false statements of law or fact or evidence that the lawyer knows to be false.” If I was a senator, I’d be passing notes to Chief Justice Roberts every time i heard Sekulow, et al lie, asking for remedial action (which could include removing the liar from the proceeding).
