You guys are crazy if you don't think the SCOTUS would be giddy to finally curbtail Presidential pardon powers.

News: Marc Kasowitz out as @POTUS attorney - legal team now Cobb, Sekulow & Dowd. Sounds like a law firm but is not. Corrallo has resigned.



NYT reported earlier that his role would be significantly reduced.
 
White supremacy.

You know, Trump is crazy enough to have someone shoot investigators and then pardon them immediately and then dare Congress to begin impeachment proceedings.

I mean, what happens if a President were to openly have people murdered and then pardon them? Only Congress can impeach and they'd be physically afraid to do so.

The person would still be charged for violating local state/city/county law. All it means is the person would be relegated to local prisons only which are typically worse than fed prison.

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.

I genuinely can't tell if it's the media making it seem like something is going down or if something is actually going down.

Yep pretty much.

The worst thing that will ever happen to Trump is impeachment, that's it. These ideas of cuffs and jail cells would be laughable if I didn't think some of you are serious. Maybe some bottom level players go to some resort facility or get house arrest, that's it.

WOAH ok that's a big deal. Kasowitz went from beating his chest and yelling at people sending him mean e-mails to getting kicked the fuck out

Holy shit, what? That's... a huge fucking deal.

This is not just the spokesperson, Corrallo, we're talking about. His actual fucking lawyer just peace'd out of the situation.
 
If he's looking at pardoning himself, then he's admitting guilt.

You don't throw around the idea of a pardon unless you are planning on being convicted of a crime.

Either he couldn't handle the heat and got out of dodge, or people are telling Trump his usual tactics aren't going to work here

That's a shame. Because he was a grade A moron. Still Sekulow is as smart as a bag of hammers too. Don't really know about the other two.

Yep, Kasowitz has been a fixture beside Donny for his many divorces, bankruptcy hearings and lawsuits... spanning decades.
And now he's gone. I wonder why. He handled all of those other winning situations just fine and Trump didn't panic before. Hmmm...
 
Kasowitz was out regardless of what twists the case itself were taking, he was apparently slipping back into his drinking problem and we all know his e-mail outburst.
 
Trump just said there is something the states that won't turn over voter information are hiding yet he tries to fire or compromise anyone investigating him.

His supporters may have gone to Trump University but the rest of us didn't...
 
Everyone's jumping ship.

The attorneys left are fucking clown shoes against guys who brought down Enron and cracked open Watergate.
Kasowitz leaving does not really reduce the quality of his legal team. That guy was a mess.

Representing Trump right now seems like the kind of gig that would drive one to alcoholism.
Indeed.

I wonder how Ty Cobb is feeling about his new job right about now?

This all feels like it's moving extremely fast--and it is--but folks thinking Trump is going to be out of office by Christmas need to take a breath. Nothing meaningful will happen until the midterms. It's all about 2018. (Not to mention the future of the Democratic party hinges on defining a platform that's more than anti-Trump. That lost in 2016.)

I'm going to assume Kasowitz wanted out. Trump seems like the worst client to have as an attorney and given the direction this seems to be going, you don't want to be on his defense team.

He was way out of his depth. Guy is not a criminal lawyer and that's what we're dealing with. There was early rumors a week ago he was on his way out anyways.
 
Kasowitz in this whole mess probably parallels Maury Levy from "The Wire" and the other lawyers on the Trump team know it.

Seriously though, stuff is not Kasowitz' area of expertise and he was probably just getting in the way.
