You mean to tell me that Donald Trumps former personal defense attorney does not have my best interest in mind since becoming the AG, especially in matters directly involving his former client, Donald Trump?
I am shocked! Who could have seen this coming? If only there were previous actions and patterns of behavior that could have warned us of this.

Every single congressperson who allowed this to happen belongs in prison. They just keep spitting in your face, and you keep voting for them.
It's easier to figure out who had to be confirmed that DIDN'T lie to Congress. Even SCOTUS candidates lied.
He's still his attorney, even Blanche himself said it during the confirmation hearings.
The GOP knew exactly what Blanche would do, they just wanted a reason to pretend to clutch their pearls about it afterward. Its all a big "democracy" reality show.
Lindsey Graham would be proud, if he wasnt being eaten by worms right now.
A promise means nothing, it's just words. A contract has meaning, they should have gotten assurances in writing. Republicans are so easily scammed.
False, they only made him promise that stuff for electoral cover so they could pull a Susan Collins and be dramatically shocked. They have no morals and they won't be impacted by the problems they are causing.
They just need to maybe scowl and furrow their brows a bit for the cameras.
Schumer is usually good for exactly that, where is Chuck Schumer in our time of need?
They aren't scammed. They just put on a performance for us at home. They know what they are doing as they have been on this path since the first Business Plot
They're wiping their assess with the constitution written words mean nothing to them either.
It means nothing because there are no repercussions ... not for trump, not for them, as long as they sit there.
They are part of the whole charade of theatrics to appease the common folk into believing there is a functional democratic government.
One can but only watch the curtains go up and showing the layer of depravity that appears when the elections are close.
Blanche’s latest move reflects poorly on all of the Republicans who voted to confirm him—but especially Senators Bill Cassidy, John Cornyn, and Tom Tillis, who bought into the attorney general’s promises to limit the scope of a different immunity for the president.
No it doesn't. And no they didn't.
They knew full well it wasn't a promise. It was plausible deniability.
None of these memos really mean much if a brave American or two just shoots these fascist scum in the head.
Go for it, officer. Lead by example, coward.
I’m not setting foot in that country to do your job
The weaponize fund and tax evasion agreement will be back and made law before the end of the month.
It's not a law unless both houses of Congress pass it with a majority (or 60% for the self-imposed Senate anti-filabustering rule) and the President signs it (or both houses overturn his veto with a ⅔ majority).
I mean, if Trump declares it and his minions carry out his orders, it hardly makes much difference.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
President Lumpty Trumpty and the Heritage Foundation has unlocked the secret to undermine democracy. The secret being is you just do it. Congress is spineless when it's your party in power, the entire US government was built on the honor code, and if you have no shame, nothing matters!
hey, that's not fair, it's also spineless when the democrats are in power!
Sure but dont you prefer the democrats marketing to the republicans marketing? With the dems you get a hispanic guy dressed up to look like a native american shedding a single tear on tv for every issue they fail to deliver on, and with the republicans you get an openly pedophile hitler figure sort of shouting demands and also some weird incel parades with tiki torches after they murder people.
It wont change the actual outcomes, but we need to band together and get the Dem marketing back.
Liberty!
There is no surprise. No one is shocked. This is the playbook. This was the intention from the beginning.
Impeach him
They'll get right on that I'm sure. No one lies to the republican senators and gets away with it, right.
He didn't lie to them though, he lied to us. The GOP confirmed him exactly because he was going to do this ..
Promise? He didn't make a promise. He gave sworn testimony under oath and subject to penalty for perjury.
Memos aren’t laws.
I'm sure Schumer will pretend they are
He needs to go.
I'm sure there will be consequences! They might even write a strongly worded letter.
Chuck is not even doing that lately. We need to flood the switchboard to let his interns know that we demand that very strong letter. Or there will be real consequences.
LOL, this is a real bear shits in the woods kind of story...
can't the next ag just undo it? thats been happening this whole time
Yes.
Oh course he did. Anybody who believes these assholes is living like a tick somewhere on the crook/asshole sliding scale.
