The attempted coup plot thickens

Former Trump White House lawyer Stefan Passantino, who is accused of attempting to get bombshell witness Cassidy Hutchinson to mislead the Jan. 6 committee, has left his job and is defending his actions during his stint as Hutchinson’s lawyer.

Passantino was Hutchinson’s attorney as she prepared to testify before the committee and was paid by Trump’s Save America PAC.

Its hard at this point to get excited about yet another Trumpist showing a lack of ethics and a willingness to engage in criminal behavior.

Its hardly an aberration at this point.

@MistyCee I have no doubt Rudy had substance abuse issues. I suspect he has some pretty severe mental issues as well. I had read somewhere that Rudy supported Trump because Trump let him stay at Mar-a-Lago for awhile prior to his presidential campaign. Rudy was distraught about being out of the limelight and irrelevant and was having trouble dealing with that. Trump gave him purpose, however perverted that purpose was. In the end, Rudy has no one to blame but himself.

@Ryderbike Rudy had power, more than Trump, tbh, when he was mayor and Trump was making up Muslims rejoicing over 911 and bragging about how his buildings dominated the skyline.

The guy really was "America's mayor" and he pissed it away, culminating with his embrace of Trump, who pretty much shot his moral law and order crap to hell.

Trump paid a lawyer, Passantino, who advised a witness, Hutchinson, who was to give testimony against Trump.

And the advice was to [i]LIE under oath[/i] about what she did and didn't remember.

[quote] “When the witness raised concerns with her lawyer about that approach,” according to the summary, the lawyer said, “They don’t know what you know, [witness]. They don’t know that you can recall some of these things. So you saying ‘I don’t recall’ is an entirely acceptable response to this.”

“The lawyer instructed the client about a particular issue that would cast a bad light on President Trump: ‘No, no, no, no, no. We don’t want to go there. We don’t want to talk about that,’” the report said. [/quote]

Right after this story broke, Passantino took a leave of absence from the law firm where he had been a partner: Michael Best & Friedrich LLP.

@ElwoodBlues Wait. Are you saying there's something objectionable about lying for Trump?

Seems controversial when half of America embraces lying for Trump.
