Attorney General William Barr suspected that Trump was bein less than honest.!!!

"Former Attorney General William Barr, in a newly released book excerpt, said he suspected then-President Donald Trump's claims of widespread election fraud were "all bullsh*t," but that he launched unofficial inquiries into some of them to appease his boss."

So you voted for Trump, happy in the knowledge that he is a compulsive liar, did you?

Alternately(he also gave the thumbs up to our old friend Muammar Gadaffi-did a lot of good for his people it seems)

 

This is a pretty standard approach for Trump supporters.

A democrat lies: "See? Liberals are compulsive liars. They can't handle truth! It's sad; I feel sorry for them that they have to be so dishonest. That's why I am an ethical, truth-loving conservative."
Trump lies: "Well, all politicians do it. No biggie. Happens all the time."

 

I feel that politician is a synonym for professional liar.
Trump joined his affinity group when he went into politics.
Both parties have been caught for lies.
I wish that reporter was not becoming a synonym for liar.

 

In law school are you taught to lie on purpose?

Like, if the accused says to you: "ya, I did that shit, but I burnt everything so no DNA," are you still taught to get a confessed killer off?

Or, just be taught to follow the money, wherever it blows?

 

Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, an honest lawyer and an old drunk are walking down the street together when they simultaneously spot a hundred dollar bill. Who gets it? The old drunk, of course, the other three are fantasy creatures.

 

Might depend on jurisidiction. In the UK you can still attempt to get the killer off if you so wish, but you can also withdraw from the case (unless it prejudices the case). There are certain things the lawyer can't do, though, such as suggest someone else is guilty, or any other defence that is inconsistent with the confession. You can still try to win the case, though, by showing the prosecution haven't proven their case beyond reasonable doubt, or through a technicality etc. But basically if they confess to their lawyer then the lawyer can't lie in court, can't raise evidence they know to be false, but they also are not obliged to reveal the actual confession.
So in your example the lawyer wouldn't be able to suggest that someone else was guilty, or try to suggest that the defendent was elsewhere at the time. It makes the defence trickier for sure, and limits the lines of defence.
Not sure about how it works in the US, though.

 

I would pomder if these fantasy creatures are morel or not.

"What is moral?" would maybe be a good question.

 

The usual lazy cynicism from people who do not know what they are talking about.

Every lawyer I have dealt with - and I have had dealings with four or five - has been a model of honesty. Since their job is to give legal advice, to keep their clients in compliance with the law, this should not be surprising.

 

Yep. I've also met a few local politicians - and they are decent, hardworking people.

 

pssst
(that was a joke)
(maybe not a very good one?)

 

Morality, like legality differs from place to place

It seems that morality and legality are, quite often, 2 distinct things
though, the latter, quite often, claims to evolve from the former

(personally:
I do not think that there is a universal answer to your question)

 

So you're disposed to a certain ambiguity.

 

more precisely
I am disposed to reality(as I see it)
and
if that seems ambiguous
so be it

being a midwestern man of conservative(not political) upbringing
I would not presume to inflict my concept of morals/morality on anyone else

IMHO that would be immoral
that belief has served to my detriment more'n once
and yet
i would not change it

 

I thank Trump got it right today by callin out Bar as a RINO an a Trump-Hater.!!!

Yep… that William Bar… he sure fooled Trump… well hell he fooled all of us… well not all of us just the Trumpsters... into believin that mass fraud was very likely due to all the mail in votes… an then after the election Bar was goin along wit the big Lie that Biden didnt win fair an square an boy was Trump proud of him.!!!

But aparently it was all a big ruse by Bar just to pop Trumps bubble by finally tellin the truth.!!!

Seems like a lot the best an brightest Trump surrounded hisself wit turned out to be Dum-Azz Trump-Hatin RINOS.???

What coud have caused so many of ‘em to turn on Trump… surly thers some common denominator but i just cant seem to put it all together.!?!?!

 

Trump:
“If you count the legal votes, I easily win. If you count the illegal votes, they can try to steal the election from us.”

A lie is as good as the truth if you can get people to beleive it... an that alone keeps 43% of the Trumpsters hooked... an the other 67% like what Trump says cause "he says it like it is"... which translates to::: "I hear you'r racist, bigoted, sexist message an im lovin it".!!!
