I couldn't help but share the following opinion piece from the Judge on Foxnews. Donny boy is not having a good week or last few weeks or arguably last several months!

Here are a few excerpts for your reading pleasure..

Judge Andrew Napolitano: Trump's frightening and tightening legal noose | Fox News

"In the past week, we learned of an unfiltered public confession of frustration and weakness among his lawyers and we learned that his former chief confidant and campaign manager is about to be indicted. This is very bad news for President Trump."

"This lawyer's apparently unfiltered and embarrassing public revelations of disputes within the White House over the appropriate presidential response to the special counsel’s demands are malpractice because they revealed to Mueller, as well as to the public, defects in the president’s legal strategy -- namely, the absence of a final legal decision-maker and the absence of a coherent strategy on the part of the president’s combined legal team."

"Where does this leave Trump? In the hands of incompetent lawyers, under the crosshairs of a team of very aggressive federal prosecutors and publicly indifferent to the tightening and frightening legal noose around him."

That's not the conclusion the Judge drew based on that piece. He is worried as he, and every other Trump supporter, should be!

As I recall, one of Trump's lawyers has already been reported for ethical violations, including giving legal advice to people who were not his clients. Apparently, he told everyone that they didn't need their own lawyers. Not sure how that worked out.

Another of Trump's lawyers got in an argument with himself on Fox News over whether Trump was under investigation or not. I believe Chris Mathews speaks for us all when he said, "Boy that was weird."

Didn't one threaten someone?

His lawyers act like nut jobs in public. Who knows what they are like in private. From what I've read, few of them have any experience in this type of legal arena.

Apparently, Trump asked around but what attorney in their right mind would take on a client with a losing case, who won't follow your legal advice, and has a history of not paying?

Trump's goofy legal team is up against successful, experienced prosecutors.

Is he counting on pardons getting everyone off?

Isn't Napolitano the one who accused the Brits of wiretapping Trump?

Reading the Washington Post story about how the New York Times got the story of the lawyers having lunch was really entertaining. They even provided a map showing how close the restaurant was to the New York Times.

"It is every Washington reporter’s dream to sit down at a restaurant, overhear secret stuff and get a scoop. It rarely happens.

Still, everyone in town important enough to have secrets worth keeping knows that secrets are not safe on the Acela train and in Washington restaurants.

This is especially true in eateries next door to a major newspaper."

From The Link
Let’s take a step back from this. The Department of Justice, as recently as last week, publicly denied that it possesses any evidence derived from electronic surveillance of anyone in Trump Tower from the two years preceding the 2016 presidential election. Former FBI Director James Comey had already made a similar denial in testimony before the House Intelligence Committee. But there have been no FBI denials of the Manafort/Trump Tower surveillance revealed earlier this week.

The sudden FBI switch to silence no doubt means that the surveillance did take place, and it probably was pursuant to a search warrant. If the warrant was issued by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court on the representation that Manafort was probably communicating with foreign officials, then the fruits of the surveillance could not be used against him in a criminal trial,
