THE WALL<\/strong>. In memo, Department of Homeland Security Memo touts border wall construction that doesn\u2019t exist<\/strong><\/a>: \u201cLook, I think reasonable, objective observers can agree that Trump\u2019s credibility evaporated quite a while ago. Much of the country realizes that the president has a strained relationship with reality, and his boasts are generally seen through that lens. But Americans still need to have some confidence in the Department of Homeland Security, so when it peddles Trump\u2019s fiction as if it were fact, it\u2019s undermining the credibility of an agency we\u2019re supposed to be able to trust in the event of an emergency.\u201d See the memo HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n TRUMP<\/strong>.

It is called \u201cadvice of counsel,\u201d and a lawyer has great liability if a mistake is made. That is why they get paid. Despite that many campaign finance lawyers have strongly\u2026\u2026\u2026.stated that I did nothing wrong with respect to campaign finance laws, if they even apply, because this was not campaign finance. Cohen was guilty on many charges unrelated to me, but he plead to two campaign charges which were not criminal and of which he probably was not\u2026\u2026.guilty even on a civil basis. Those charges were just agreed to by him in order to embarrass the president and get a much reduced prison sentence, which he did-including the fact that his family was temporarily let off the hook.
