This is getting to be a bit much of a stretch. Usually when Team Trump does something there’s a clear cause and effect relationship. For instance, earlier today one of Team Trump’s lackies decided to “leak” a piece to the Daily Beast, which showed Donald and Barron Trump in the former’s golf cart, bragging about how he had routed Joe Biden from the Democratic ticket and was now going to be running against Kamala Harris in the fall. This is all bullshit. This has been bullshit since the debate debacle on June 27. But, it made sense that a “leak” like this could occur because then it would put Trump in the catbird seat, easily winning the election as he stepped over the ruins of a destroyed Democratic party. This “leak” doesn’t lend itself to that kind of facile interpretation.
Good grief! Reliable source? Who was your source, Trump? This is sadly pathetic!

Your guess is as good as mine for the reason behind this ploy. When an obvious fake news piece like this shows up on Twitter, Instagram, etc., it doesn’t get a lot of play because it’s so obviously out there. And then there’s the egg on the face element to be taken into consideration. Fitton has climbed way out on the limb here so he’s guaranteed to look stupid on Monday — unless what? Does he have something to follow this up with? Some announcement by Trump of some sort? And lastly, what really makes this a lame move is that if Trump was in such a great position to beat Biden, which is all we hear him crow about, why even bother with this? He’s going to roll over Biden’s bones anyway, right?
You get the mentality of the people in the thread here. It’s exactly what you would expect, pure QAnon drivel. But a few people have their heads twisted on right.
He’s not overwhelming Twitter with this. And frankly, I don’t think Trump will be thrilled with this either, when he hears about it. I’m just wondering how he’ll wiggle out of this on Monday or if he’ll just forget that he even posted this here. Fitton has a reputation for telling Trump what he wants to hear. Maybe this is as simple as that. Media Matters:
Fitton has made a tidy living for himself as part of the right-wing scandal industrial complex that uses legal efforts to smear Democrats like Hillary Clinton and protect Republicans like Trump. But he is not a lawyer and never attended law school – he “holds a B.A. in English from George Washington University” – and federal prosecutors who examine the same cases as Fitton keep coming to the opposite conclusions. He’s also an election denier who pushed conspiracy theories about Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic following the 2020 election and urged legislatures in states President Joe Biden won to submit electors for Trump.
In other words, you should not be taking legal advice from him if you are a rational person who hopes to avoid serving prison time. But we’re talking about Trump here. The former president spent his four years in the White House drawing on the counsel of the people he saw on his television. He constantly echoed right-wing TV networks on his Twitter feed, filled his administration with familiar faces from Fox’s green rooms, turned the network’s hosts into his personal Cabinet, and made decisions on everything — from pardons to legislative strategy to federal contracts — based on what they told him. He never stopped relying on Fox, even after following the network’s lead triggered his first impeachment.
Fitton is one of those underqualified Trumpists who entered Trump’s inner circle because he told the former president what he wanted to hear in frequent television appearances. He played a key role in developing Fox host Sean Hannity’s alternate narrative of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe of Russian interference with the 2016 election, which posited that Trump and his allies had done nothing wrong and were being persecuted by law enforcement officials who were themselves committing crimes. Fitton used high-profile Fox appearances to argue that the FBI had become “KGB-type operation,” call for the firings of high-ranking FBI and Justice Department officials, and urge Trump to issue pardons to his cronies who were “caught up in Mueller’s web.”
Bookmark this and let’s talk about it on Monday. One theme that has remained consistent since Trump announced he was running again is that this election is going to be like no other. So far that’s been the case.
Hey pal…here’s my valid legal advice: go take a flying phuck at a rolling doughnut!
