Trump has some cast of characters working for him, John Dowd the head of Trumps personal legal team equating George Washington an Robert E. Lee.


Quote:
WASHINGTON — President Trump’s personal lawyer on Wednesday forwarded an email to conservative journalists, government officials and friends that echoed secessionist Civil War propaganda and declared that the group Black Lives Matter “has been totally infiltrated by terrorist groups.”
The email forwarded by John Dowd, who is leading the president’s legal team, painted the Confederate general Robert E. Lee in glowing terms and equated the South’s rebellion to that of the American Revolution against England. Its subject line — “The Information that Validates President Trump on Charlottesville” — was a reference to comments Mr. Trump made earlier this week in the aftermath of protests in the Virginia college town.
You cannot be against General Lee and be for General Washington,” the email reads, “there literally is no difference between the two men.”

I liked how he got mad and hung up on a reporter who questioned him about it. He said he just forwarded the email and was annoyed reporters were getting in their business. Reminds me of when trump tweeted fake stats on black/white crime and bore no responsibility since he saw it on the Internet and couldn't be bothered to vet it before he tweeted it to millions of followers.

He has quite the history, lost the case defending Raj Rajaratnam who was convicted for insider trading, investigation of Pete Rose. Very strange that he would release an email like that at this time, maybe there is some kind of strategy.

Yes this one, he evidently doesn't take losing with class and grace.

It looks like Trump is reaching into the bottom of the barrel for his legal defense (?) Is that because no one else wants to defend him?
