Trump FALLS INTO His OWN Trap with UNLICENSED Legal Advisor

Ben Meiselas reports on Donald Trump screwing himself by taking legal advice from someone who isn’t a real lawyer.

This schmuck isn't a #lawyer, but he plays one on TV. And that's good enough for #Trump! Rather than listen to #advice from actual lawyers, he took this clown's advice, and now he's facing more than 30 #felony charges. Talk about a self-inflicted wound! Derp!

#trump was advised by his attorneys to return the documents but Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch advised Trump he could legally keep them. #JudicialWatch is funded by the Koch Network which also funds #americansforprosperity. AFP oddly enough is now running ads against trump’s Re-election. Hmm?

A court opinion issued at the time stated that there was no #legal mechanism for the Archives to force Clinton to turn over the recordings.

Several other #Trump advisers blamed #TomFitton for convincing Trump that he could keep the #ClassifiedDocuments & repeatedly mentioning the “Clinton socks case” — a reference to tapes Bill Clinton stored in his sock drawer of his secret interviews w/historian Taylor Branch that served as the basis of Branch’s 2009 book documenting the Clinton presidency.

#TomFitton, who appeared before the grand jury & was questioned about his role in both the #ClassifiedDocuments case & the investigation into #Jan6…, acknowledged the advice he gave to #Trump. He added that he read the indictment & did not believe it laid out illegal or obstructive conduct. Multiple witnesses said they were asked about Fitton in front of a grand jury & the role he played in Trump’s decisions.

#Trump time & again rejected the advice from #lawyers & advisers who urged him to cooperate & instead took the advice of #TomFitton, the head of the conservative group #JudicialWatch, & a range of others who told him he could legally keep the #ClassifiedDocuments & should fight the #DOJ, advisers said. Trump would often cite Fitton to others, &Fitton told some of Trump’s lawyers that Trump could keep the docs, even as they disagreed, the advisers said.…

ALERT: Via pool… Judicial Watch head #TomFitton is at #DC Federal court where #GrandJury is sitting.
