I sure wish somebody would tape-record these things.
His “no further comment” position is not helping his crediblity on the subject.....except with me....it tells me that his “client” is continuing to receive “pressure” and doesn’t like it.
How about some gratuitous pics of our girl Kelly please?
I’d like to throw out an abstract legal question to any lawyers on the forum. Should a lawyer be making public statements like this after his client has decided on a particular course-of-action? Isn’t he kind of putting his client at risk?
Just wondering...
He is constrained by attorney client privilege. If the client doesn not want him to talk about it he cannot. That is what he should have said. He alluded to it but made himself vulnerable to looking untruthful.
Aluria's last comment to Megyn is the key ... 'keep digging at this issue and the truth will come out.'
I heard Rush Limbaugh talking about this today and he said that although they deny their threats, they love the fear people are feeling out there hearing these reports. I agree. They have a press out there that laps up their lies and runs with them and an ignorant voter base who goes ballistic when they are told of greed or selfishness by the Thug in Chief. AIG execs had to deal with ACORN bussed in at taxpayer expense to harrass them at their homes and threaten them with their lives. Now this. Yes indeed. I know who to believe. Let’s make sure everyone supports those who are being intimidated and threatened as this is about America. Cowering is not an option.

The most telling thing here is that the creditor fools that took the bailout money are quietly going along with this fiduciary lunacy at the expense of their share holders while those that did not are squealing like stuck pigs.
